Motorola's Fall 2003 Lineup

Intro GSM CDMA & TDMA UMTS

First up at bat in the CDMA department will be the T730/T731, which is essentially a re-styled T720. Also coming down the pipe is the V60x, which adds 1xRTT and BREW to the venerable V60 series, and the V60p, which will be Motorola's first CDMA Push-To-Talk phone. All three should be available this quarter. But the really big guns are coming out later in the year...

The C343 and C343a will be similar to the recently-released C333, but add a color display. The C343 should be available in the 4th quarter.

V810

The V810 will be Motorola's new flagship CDMA phone for North America. Based on a popular design developed for the Asian market, the V810 is a surprisingly small phone that packs in a large 262,000-color display and a camera with flash. The V810 is currently slated for a November release.

MS150

The MS150 is Motorola's hot new 1xEV-DO phone in Korea right now. The unique square design accommodates a camera, OLED outer display, and a special wide-format main LCD. The 160-by-128-pixel wide LCD allows streaming video to be displayed full-screen. Although currently available only in Korea, Motorola plans to bring the MS150 design to unspecified "other markets" in 2004.

MS280

Possibly the hottest new phone on Motorola's roadmap is the MS280. This phone features a rotating design similar to the Sony Ericsson SO505i that's taken Japan by storm. The MS280 also features a 176-by-220-pixel 260,000-color TFT display, dual cameras, and streaming MPEG4 video. The phone will be available in Korea in November, expanding to "other markets" in 2004.
In the TDMA camp, Motorola plans to continue cranking out a few more models to satisfy lingering demand throughout the Americas. First up is the C353t, which looks identical to the CDMA C343 (pictured above). Like Nokia's 3560, the C353t brings modern features such as a color display and downloadable polyphonic ringtones to the TDMA market. The C353t is available now.
The C353t isn't the end of the line for TDMA, though. Motorola also plans to release a color-display clamshell-style TDMA model.
