With the introduction of Mobile PhoneTools 2.0, Motorola continues its commitment to delivering solutions that make life easier for consumers by allowing them to stay connected to coworkers, family, and friends while on-the-go.

Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 allows users to easily adapt to a truly mobile lifestyle by giving them the ability to access the Internet, send and receive text messages and check e-mail from a laptop computer by using their Motorola wireless phone as a modem.* Users can connect their mobile phone and laptop via a compatible mini-USB or USB cable and easily transfer appointment schedules, images, ringtones and more with just the click of the mouse. When PC users log onto Mobile PhoneTools 2.0, a "look alike" of their Motorola handset appears on the PC screen along with a toolbar that displays the most commonly used features of the phone. The familiar layout of their handset, combined with Mobile PhoneTools(r) integrated set-up wizard makes synchronization quick and easy, by providing step-by-step instructions for organizing contacts, creating calendars, tracking appointments and checking e-mail.

"Motorola's Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 makes mobile efficiency, connectivity and entertainment solutions easier than before," said Sue Fullman, corporate vice president for Motorola's Personal Communications Sector.
