Motorola's New MC55 Business phone

The Motorola Inc. is finally out with the new addition to its series of Enterprise Digital Assistants (EDAs) with the launch of the new MC55 business phone. The phone is focussed basically on business personnels and field workers.The EDA is based on Windows mobile 6.1.

The device encorporates a 2.0 Megapixel camera, a 2D scanner and a barcode reader with it. The company guarantees the phone to be enough shock resistant to be carelessly dropped on a concrete flooring. The phone is available in keypads varying from numeric to QWERTY for english, AZERTY for french and QWERTZ for german.

Finally a good news for the enterprise customers- The phone's available in two variants. The MC5590 works through VoIP for phone calls. On the other hand, the MC5574 does the same through a 2.5G GSM modem that is active for AT&T and T-Mobile systems. Speaking of connectivity and compatibility, the phone has a Bluetooth 2.0 compatible handset. The device has a GPS navigation service that ensures that you don't get lost (unless your GPRS services are switched on. :/)

As far as the display is concerned, the mobile has got a 3.5" 320 x 240 color touchscreen. The whole assembly is sealed into a case measuring 5.78 x 3.03 x 1.06 "inches" (Yep! i know its a "bit" thick! :P) without the antenna. Both the models consist of a 520 MHz processor to ek out the best of performance- After all its a business phone.

As is the case with the other Enterprise handsets, the customers get a service package that insures the phone of any accidental damage of any part. Now, something that concerns ones pocket very much, the cost of the phone will range between some $ 1695 and $ 2035. (It does concern your pocket! :O) The MC5590 is already available in the markets. The MC5574 will soon be available, hopefully by the end of this March.
