Motorola And Verizon Wireless Deliver Style And Functionality With The V325

01/30/2006, BEDMINSTER, NJ and LIBERTYVILLE, IL — To fulfill consumer demand for wireless handsets packed with features and new functionalities, Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT), a global leader in wireless communications, and Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading provider of wireless products and services, announce the availability of the sleek and stylish Motorola V325.

The newest member of the Motorola family, the V325 is a one of a kind flip phone that places the latest in technology and style in the palm of your hand. Featuring a chic brushed metal and soft touch finish, the Motorola V325 boasts an integrated camera with self-portrait and color effects, high resolution color display and outstanding call performance. The phone also features 30 megabytes of onboard memory and is Get It Now®-enabled so customers can check out and download hundreds of ring tones, games, productivity tools and more.*

Perfect for those constantly on-the-go and those who like to flash the latest fashionable toy available, the Motorola V325 is the only device that currently offers Verizon Wireless’ new Get It Now Location Based Services application, VZ NavigatorTM. With VZ Navigator, Verizon Wireless customers can see a map of their current location or an address in the U.S., locate places such as restaurants, gas stations, banks and other points-of-interest relative to their location, plus hear turn-by-turn navigation with audible voice directions to an address in the U.S. Using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Verizon Wireless’ network, VZ Navigator securely communicates valuable location information to you across the wireless network based on the day of week, time of day and other privacy settings that you establish and manage right from your handset, with all the added conveniences of voice and data mobility at a fraction of the cost of alternative, expensive GPS devices.*

Whether planning a trip with VZ Navigator and locating key points-of-interest, sending a TXT or PIX Message or expressing your style with “situational lighting” that flashes during incoming calls, the Motorola V325 takes mobile information and self-expression to the next level. Rounding out its feature set with an integrated speakerphone and advanced speech recognition, the Motorola V325 proves it’s ready to deliver a convenient and intuitive mobile experience.
