Motorola V551/V555 telephones are small and lightweight global system for mobile
communications (GSM) general packet radio service (GPRS) wireless application
protocol (WAP)-enabled mobile phones and enhanced Data Rate for Global
Evolution (EDGE). The V551/V555 incorporate a new user interface (UI) for easier
operation, allows short message service (SMS) text messaging, and includes
personal information manager (PIM) functionality.
The V551/V555 is a quad-band phone that allows roaming within the GSM 900
MHz, (DCS) 1800 MHz digital cellular system, the GSM 850 MHz, and PCS 1900
MHz bands.
V551/V555 telephones support EDGE in addition to traditional circuit switched
transport technologies.
V551/V555 telephones have a clam form factor. They feature an externally viewable
96 x 32 pixel display for caller identification and date/time, an internal 176 x 220
pixel display, and single speakers located in the flip. The bottom part of the clam
(front housing) contains the keypad, transceiver printed circuit board (PCB),
microphone, flex connection, external accessory connector, smart button, volume
buttons, and voice button. The standard 790 mAh Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery fits
behind a removable back cover.
The phone accepts both 1.875V and 3V mini subscriber identity module (SIM) cards
which fit into the SIM holder underneath the battery. The antenna is a fixed stub
type antenna. Inexpensive direct connection to a computer or handheld device via
RS232 or USB for data and fax calls, and for synchronizing phonebook entries with
TrueSync® software, can be accomplished by using the optional data cable and soft
modem.
V551/V555 telephones use advanced, self-contained, sealed, custom integrated
circuits to perform the complex functions required for EDGE communication. Aside
from the space and weight advantage, microcircuits enhance basic reliability,
simplify maintenance, and provide a wide variety of operational functions.
