Motorola's Fall 2003 Lineup

Intro GSM CDMA & TDMA UMTS  

The very highly-anticipated V600 was announced in January, and will be released globally this (3rd) quarter. Quad-band, VGA camera, streaming video playback, Bluetooth, and "situational lighting" are just a few of the features that will make the V600 Motorola's new flagship GSM phone.

The V500 is quite similar to the V600, lacking only changeable metal housings, the multi-color indicator, and streaming video. It retains a striking design, quad-band GSM, the VGA camera, and Bluetooth. It is slated to be released alongside the V600 this quarter, although only in Europe officially.

The V300 lacks Bluetooth and steps down to tri-band coverage, but retains the same 65,000-color hi-res TFT display as its siblings, as well as the camera. Two variants will be released: The V300 will be GSM 900/1800/1900, and will be released in Europe and Asia this quarter; the V303 will be GSM 850/1800/1900, and will be out in the 4th quarter for the Americas.

The E365 is a camera phone that Motorola announced in January as a GSM 900/1800 phone for Asia only. However, Phone Scoop has learned that a GSM 850/1900 version will also be produced. Currently, it is only planned for release in Latin America, although it should work on North American networks. Both versions should be available this quarter.

Motorola's first EDGE phone will be the T725. Unfortunately, it won't be out until the 4th quarter. It is based on the T720 platform, and features tri-band Americas coverage with GSM 850/1800/1900.

Motorola is planning a vast array of new models based on the popular C330/C350 platform. Shown at left is the C550, which adds a camera, Java and WAP 2.0 to the C350 design. Other variants of the C350 series include the C250 series, C370 series, and the C450. Each will vary slightly in features, but all include a color display, and all will be dual-band GSM with GSM 850/1900 versions available for the Americas. Each series will include up to three specific models that vary in appearance. The C350 series is available now, with the other models to follow later this quarter.
