August 05, 2005 By: Cathy Harrison Motorola C650 Cell Phone – Music Phone Handsets May Help Regain Market Share
Motorola’s low-end cellular phone, the C650 mobile phone, is designed to play MP3 ring tones (instead of usually tinny sound that comes through with the old style songs) and camera functionality along with all of the standard cell phone features. The higher-end cellular phones, the E398 and E680, include all of the regular camera features but also function as MP3 players, although they do have minimal storage capacity. These two models also house the swappable SanDisk flash memory storage cards, which are able to hold around one hour's worth of music. Motorola is making a concerted effort to serve the growing market for multimedia mobile phones that also play, record, manipulate and store music files. They are releasing these phones in an attempt to gain some market share from companies such as Nokia who have been selling these kinds of cell phones for some time. Unfortunately Motorola do not have a good track record with releasing new cell phones to the market and so this is an attempt to rectify the mistakes of the past. Considering that the mobile phone market grew 21% in 2004 it is well worth the effort.
