Connect to the mobile Internet world at the fastest data transmission rate

The new Motorola V. series 60 tri-band handset supports GPRS high-speed packet data transmission technology, offering the fastest data transmission in the territory at speeds of up to 53.6kbps. By simply subscribing to the Orange Mobile Data Service, users can enjoy "always on" wireless Internet connection to Orangeworld's exciting Internet world of information and entertainment anywhere, anytime.

GPRS is the most advanced 2.5G GSM technology providing high-speed packet data transmission with 'always on' mode. Charges are based on the actual volume of data transmitted instead of airtime connection, making it more economical and fair to the users.

View handset status at ease with dual LCD display

With its contemporary clamshell design and aluminum casing, the Motorola V. series 60 handset supports tri-band mode (GSM 900/ 1800 / 1900) and is equipped with dual LCD display for easy viewing of handset status. The sophisticated design of the external LCD display allows users to identify caller numbers, and read short messages, time, date and much more without the need to open the phone flap.

Personalized menu for a personalized phone

With its innovative interface, the Motorola V. series 60 lets users personalize their mobile phones by re-arranging their own menu. The Personal Information Manager (PIM) function, for instance, can be used to manage appointments, contacts, and messages anytime, anywhere.

And with the Motorola GPRS Manager software, users can surf the Web, check email, and send and receive essential messages by connecting their handsets to a PC.
