NEW YORK, Mar 6, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --

MOBILE - An Exhibition Showcasing the History of the Mobile Phone
to Open In New York this Week
Motorola (NYSE: MOT) will commemorate the 20-year anniversary of
the world's first commercial portable cellular phone, unveiled by
the company in 1983, with the MOBILE Exhibition -- a visual
history of the mobile phone, a technological marvel that has
transformed our world. In 1983, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X phone
was the first portable cellular phone to receive FCC type
acceptance and become available for consumer purchase just a few
months later -- igniting a frenzy of growth and consumer demand
for personal wireless communication. The revolutionary DynaTAC
8000X phone will be on display at the MOBILE Exhibition in New
York for the next two weeks, along with early prototypes, various
mobile handsets, marketing pieces and narratives on mobile phone
culture from the last twenty years which showcase the evolution of
the industry.

Motorola's rich wireless heritage grew from the company's creation
of the world's first practical, affordable and commercially
successful car radio in 1930 and later that decade, the company's
first commercial two-way radio systems. In the 1940s and 50s,
Motorola applied advances in radio technology to introduce its
first pager, its first car radiotelephone and radio transponders,
including the radio transponder used by Astronaut Neil Armstrong
to speak his famous first words from the moon in 1969. In the late
1960s and throughout the 1970s, Motorola developed a handheld
communication device intended for mass consumer use - the cellular
phone. By the time the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X phone became the
first FCC-approved portable cellular telephone in 1983, the
company had invested fifteen years of research and $100 million in
the advancement of cellular technology. The DynaTAC 8000X phone
weighed 28 ounces, was 13 x 1.75 x 3.5 inches in dimension,
boasted one hour of talk time and eight hours of standby time and
featured a LED display.

"Consumers were so impressed by the concept of being always
accessible with a portable phone that waiting lists for the
DynaTAC 8000X were in the thousands, despite the initial $3,995
retail price," recalled Rudy Krolopp, one of the original Motorola
design team members responsible for creating the DynaTAC 8000X
phone. "In 1983, the notion of simply making wireless phone calls
was revolutionary and it was an exciting time to be pioneering the
technology at Motorola."

20 Years of Design

Motorola has continued its legacy of innovation by introducing new
mobile design standards. In 1989, Motorola launched the MicroTAC
cellular phone that featured a flip-lid mouthpiece and was the
smallest and lightest phone on the market. Later designs included
the Motorola StarTAC (1996) wearable phone, the model V60 (2001)
flip-phone, the revolutionary model V70 (2002) with a rotating
cover, funky display and blue backlighting and the Motorola A830
(2002) the world's first dual-mode, tri-band, UMTS/WCDMA mobile
phone with an integrated video camera, an embedded MP3 player and
the ability to access voice and data services simultaneously.

"When Motorola designed the world's first mobile phone, the
'dream' of staying connected with family and friends away from the
home land-line was the primary influence. Fast forward twenty
years and we look at the concept of mobile phones in a whole new
light because we are designing with a new consumer 'dream' in
mind," explained Tim Parsey, Corporate Vice President, Consumer
Experience Design, Motorola PCS. "Today consumers seek ways to
extend the way they choose to live. The mobile communication
device is now an essential tool to enrich relationships,
entertain, provide seamless productivity and become a focal point
to express individuality. It is a world of communicating, sharing,
creating and entertaining with voice, text, images, music and
videos. The journey reflects passage through an inflection point
in our industry from a pure technology focus, getting a unique
technology to work well, to a technology enabled consumer focus
where success is defined by the relevance of rich personalized
experiences."

20 Years of Firsts

In the 20 years since Motorola launched the DynaTAC 8000X phone or
"brick phone," the number of global wireless subscribers has grown
from approximately 300,000 in 1984 to more than 1.2 billion today.
As the industry has grown, Motorola has anticipated demand for
emerging technologies ranging from wireless Internet access and
gaming to text messaging and digital imaging. Motorola's pedigree
for achieving industry "firsts" remains constant and includes one
of the world's first commercial CDMA cellular networks (1995), the
first tri-band GSM world phone, the L7089 (1999), the first GPRS
phone in North America, the Timeport T7382i (2001) and one of the
first mobile handset to operate on UMTS/WCDMA networks, the model
A830 (2002).

MOBILE Exhibition

Motorola's MOBILE exhibit, opening in New York on March 7, will
display a selection of more than 100 rare and obscure historical
exhibits from the unique collection in Motorola's archives - from
the first handheld two-way radios developed by Motorola for the
U.S. armed forces during World War II, to the radio communication
tools that allowed Neil Armstrong to communicate his famous words
as he stepped onto the moon, to the earliest consumer "brick"
phones that epitomized the image of the 80s yuppie. An extensive
line-up of period marketing materials, advertisements and
publications will illustrate how an industrial communication tool
became a ubiquitous personal device that has revolutionized human
behavior all over the world.

The MOBILE exhibit celebrates Motorola's part in the evolution of
portable, personal communication - from the clunky two-way radio
to a discreet, universal object of desire. The exhibition tell
stories from around the world of how the mobile has changed the
way we talk, write and think; the way we organize our lives,
relate to others and enhance our safety.

MOBILE is open from March 7 to March 16, 2003, between 11:00 a.m.
and 7:00 p.m. and located at 13-17 Crosby St. in New York, NY.
