Motorola A1200 mobile telephones 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
telephone uses a simplified icon and graphical-based user interface (UI) for easier
operation, allow short message service (SMS) text messaging, and include clock,
alarm, datebook, calculator, and caller profiling personal management tools. The
A1200 is a quad band phone that allows roaming within the GSM 850, GSM 900,
DCS 1800 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz bands.
These telephones support GPRS, EDGE, SMS, EMS, and MMS in addition to
traditional circuit switched transport technologies. GPRS or EDGE, where
available, provides substantial increases in mobile data communications
performance and the efficient use of radio spectrum. A key advantage is the
provision of a permanent virtual connection to the network. This "always on"
connection is possible because GPRS and EDGE use packet data transfer so that,
for example, email can be downloaded in "background mode." There is no need for
the user to re-connect 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 telephone is made of polycarbonate plastic. The display and the transceiver
printed circuit board (PCB), microphone, charger, headphone connector, stylus, and
buttons are contained within the base of the phone. The speaker and speaker leads
are contained within the transparent flip. The 820 mAh Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery
provides 270 - 480 minutes of talk time and 190 - 210 hours of standby time
phone accepts 3V mini subscriber identity module (SIM) cards which fit into the
SIM holder under the rear housing cover. The telephone features a 240 x 320, 256k
QVGA TFT touch screen display and an internal antenna. The A1200 is a Bluetooth
class 2 product.
A1200 telephones 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.
