The Motorola MPx: A Game-Changer for the Mobile Professional

Motorola recently shook up the mobile world with the global premiere of the Motorola MPx. Set to hit shelves in the latter half of 2004, this isn’t just another handset—it’s a sophisticated companion for anyone who needs to take their office with them. By blending the core functions of a phone, a PDA, and a dedicated email messenger, Motorola has created a compact powerhouse that feels remarkably like using your Windows® desktop while on the go.

Design That Works With You

What really sets the MPx apart is its unique dual-hinge design. It opens both vertically for standard phone use and horizontally for a landscape experience. This versatility, paired with a full QWERTY keyboard and a touch-sensitive screen, makes heavy-duty tasks like editing documents or managing high-volume emails surprisingly easy. The 2.8-inch display is a standout, offering 16-bit color and a sharp 320 x 240 pixel resolution that brings everything from video clips to complex spreadsheets to life.

Desktop Power in Your Pocket

Built on the MOTOPro™ Innovation Platform, the MPx is designed to handle the rigors of modern business. It integrates seamlessly with the tools you already rely on, including:

• Microsoft Office Suite: Full support for Outlook, Word, and Excel.
• High-End Media: A 1.3-megapixel camera with a built-in flash for capturing clear images on the fly.
• Superior Connectivity: Effortless sharing and syncing via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and MMS.
• Expandable Storage: An SD/MMC slot that supports up to 1GB, giving you plenty of room for apps, games, and large attachments.

As Tom Lynch, executive VP at Motorola, noted during the announcement, the MPx is about more than just hardware; it’s about giving mobile professionals the power of convergence. It’s a device that finally bridges the gap between staying connected and staying productive, no matter where your work takes you.
