Motorola MPx220 mobile smartphones feature global system for mobile communications
(GSM) air interface, general packet radio service (GPRS) transport technology, and wireless
application protocol (WAP) Internet browser. The mobile smartphone uses a simplified icon and
graphical-based user interface (UI) for easier operation, allows short message service (SMS)
text messaging, and include clock, alarm, datebook, calculator, and caller profiling personal
management tools. The MPx220 is a quad-band phone that allows roaming within the GSM 850
MHz, EGSM 900 MHz, digital cellular system (DCS) 1800 MHz, and personal cellular system
(PCS) 1900 MHz bands.
MPx220 smartphones support GPRS and SMS in addition to traditional circuit switched
transport technologies. GPRS, where available, provides substantial increases in mobile data
communications performance and the efficient use of radio spectrum. Data transmission rates
for GSM networks can potentially increase from the current rate of 9.6 kbps up to a theoretical
maximum of 171.2 kbps. An increased data rate is by no means the only benefit provided by
GPRS. A key advantage is the provision of a permanent virtual connection to the network. This
"always on" connection is possible because GPRS uses packet data transfer so that, for example,
email can be downloaded in "background mode." There is no need for the user to reconnect
before requesting a service, eliminating connection set-up delays and adding convenience and
immediacy to data services access. The "virtual" nature of this connection means that network
resources are not consumed during periods when a user is not actually sending or receiving data.
The telephones are made of polycarbonate plastic with a metal enclosure. The display and
speaker, as well as the 18-key keypad, transceiver printed circuit board (PCB), microphone,
charger and headphone connectors, power button, camera key, serial IrDA (SIR), Bluetooth and
USB connectivity, and mini-SD slot are contained within the clam shell form-factor housing.
The user-replaceable 1000 mAh Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery provides up to 300 minutes of talk
time with up to 200 hours of standby time
module (SIM) cards which fit into the SIM holder next to the battery. These telephones feature
a 176 x 220 pixel high-resolution color graphics display and an internal antenna.
MPx220 smartphones use advanced, self-contained, sealed, custom integrated circuits to
perform the complex functions required for GSM GPRS communication. Aside from the space
and weight advantage, microcircuits enhance basic reliability, simplify maintenance, and
provide a wide variety of operational functions.
Features available in this family of telephones include:
• Lower voltage technology that provides increased standby and talk times
• Extended GSM (EGSM) channels
• Tri-coder/decoder (CODEC) that allows full rate, half rate, and enhanced full rate modes of
transmission
• Supports SMS, concatenated SMS, MMS, Email, MSN Messenger and cell broadcast mes-
