Ultra-Thin Handset With V CAST Music Capabilities Now Available on the Nation’s Most Reliable Wireless Network

BASKING RIDGE, NJ and LIBERTYVILLE, IL — Verizon Wireless, operator of the nation’s most reliable wireless network, and Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced the immediate availability of the Motorola RAZR V3m. The newest V CAST Music-enabled phone, the Motorola RAZR V3m boasts rich music functionality and is the newest slim addition to the V CAST Music phone family.

With more than one million songs available for download, V CAST Music offers customers the most song choices of any over-the-air music service in the country. Thanks to the Motorola RAZR V3m’s optional 1 GB removable microSDTM memory, customers can load up their phone with all their favorite jams from well-known and independent artists. The V CAST Music store lets customers browse, preview, download and play high-quality digital music from their phones or in the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music online store.

The distinctively slim Motorola RAZR V3m also supports V CAST, the nation’s first wireless broadband multimedia service for consumers that delivers high-quality video from today’s hottest content providers and 3D games right in the palms of customers’ hands.

“The first RAZR to support over-the-air music downloading, the Motorola RAZR V3m is another proof point in our continuing commitment to provide ‘must-have’ handsets,” said Mark Shockley, vice president of sales, Mobile Devices, Motorola, Inc. “Complete with V CAST Music capabilities and ample removable memory, the RAZR V3m offers Verizon Wireless customers a stylish and fun mobile music solution.”

The Motorola RAZR V3m’s elegant metallic design houses a rich multimedia line-up including a powerful integrated 1.3 megapixel camera and video-capture and playback capabilities, plus access to Verizon Wireless’ Get It Now® virtual store and the company’s Mobile Web 2.0SM news and information service. The Motorola RAZR V3m also offers Bluetooth® support for certain profiles,* advanced speech recognition calling and supports Verizon Wireless’ VZ Navigator, a tool for customers that includes mapping, audible turn-by-turn navigation and the ability to find over 14 million points of interest.

V CAST and V CAST Music are powered by Verizon Wireless’ EV-DO network, the most award-winning high-speed wireless broadband network in the nation, currently available to more than 150 million Americans coast to coast. Customers need a V CAST-enabled phone and a subscription to a V CAST VPak, which is $15.00 monthly access, added to their Verizon Wireless calling plan to access V CAST Music on their phones. Customers interested in managing their music from their PCs in the V CAST Music online store can do so without a V CAST VPak.
