Cricket Rolls Out Moto VE465 PhoneSep 08, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Cricket Communications, Inc., a supplier of unlimited wireless services and a subsidiary of Leap Wireless International, announced the availability of the Moto VE465, a clamshell phone. Cricket said its Moto VE465 was designed to withstand heavy use - built to military specification 810F (mil spec lite) for shock, dust, vibration, solar radiation and altitude - while still offering the stylish features desired by active mobile users. VE465 is Cricket's first phone built to mil spec lite standards. The phone features a 1.3MP camera/camcorder, an MP3 player with external music touch controls plus a microSD memory card slot and stereo Bluetooth, as well as tri-band connectivity and 3G Mobile Web browsing. Moto VE465 is the fifth 3G device that Cricket has introduced this year to offer customers access to Cricket's data network. "Cricket customers are heavy mobile users, averaging 1500 minutes of talk time each month and more than 23 calls per day, more than three times the average for prepaid customers. Consumers who use their phones as such an important part of their daily communications demand a highly durable handset that can sustain heavy usage. Yet they don't want to compromise on style and features," said Matt Stoiber, VP and general manager of devices for Cricket. "Moto VE465 offers that durability in a stylish form factor with features, such as an MP3 player and 1.3MP camera and camcorder for our customers' mobile lifestyles." "Moto VE465 is a great match for Cricket's customers," said Dan Papalia, VP, Motorola Mobile Devices. "It delivers the best of both worlds - a durable, eye-catching design and features that keep Cricket's customers entertained and in touch while taking full advantage of Cricket's unlimited offerings, such as texting, picture messaging and Mobile Web." Moto VE46 is available immediately. ((Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected])) [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ] |
