BOYNTON BEACH, Fla.-Motorola Inc. introduced its V.series V100 personal communicator, which the company said combines text messaging, phone functionality, Internet access and GSM technology with a QWERTY keyboard.
Motorola debuted the new communicator, which already was introduced in Europe in October, in the United States last week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
“The V.series V11 is the all-in-one communications solution for the consumer who is always on the go and needs a functional and fun mobile communications product,” said Jennifer Hansard, the company’s V.series brand manager.
Motorola said its product’s keyboard makes writing messages and typing phone numbers simple and easy. The V100 features a rubberized keyboard and a 2.2 inch by 1.4 inch backlit screen. For calling, the V100 has a color-matched headset accessed through an external phone jack, and it features voice-activated dialing, call waiting and conference calling.
Motorola said the V100 would sell for about $250.
