Nextel and Motorola Launch First Bluetooth-Enabled Rugged Mobile Phone -- The Motorola i605

Other Industry Firsts Include a Large Screen Optimized for Outdoor Use and the Enhanced Nextel Group ConnectSM Service that Allows Nationwide Group Walkie-talkie Conversations

RESTON, Va. & PLANTATION, Fla. – 2 May 2005 -- Nextel Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTL) and Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced the Motorola i605, the first rugged Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. The rugged Motorola i605 handset offers exclusive features, including Nextel’s new Group ConnectSM walkie-talkie service1, which enables group walkie-talkie conversations nationwide, and a large screen that is optimized for outdoor usage to reduce glare from sunlight.

The Motorola i605 is designed for users in industries such as field services, construction, transportation and government segments. Its rubberized monolith design meets military specifications for resistance to dust, shock and vibration. Its large memory and maximum battery life provide the optimal operation of Java™-powered business solutions, and its GPS2 capability enables location-based services, including fleet tracking and turn-by-turn directions. The Motorola i605 also offers Nextel Multimedia Messaging service (MMS)2, which allows users to send and receive messages that include text, images and audio together.

The integrated Bluetooth technology enables the wireless exchange of information between devices within a range of 10 meters/30 feet, eliminating the need for wire connections between, for example, the phone and a compatible Bluetooth enabled hands-free headset. The Bluetooth wireless technology also eliminates the need for a data cable to connect the phone to a compatible Bluetooth-enabled laptop using the phone’s wireless modem functionality. (The i605 supports Bluetooth headset and handset profiles.)The Nextel Group Connect service allows up to 21 participants on a group walkie-talkie call. Participants can be located virtually anywhere within Nextel’s nationwide network, and their status can be viewed on a screen on their phones, including if they are active, opted out or unavailable. Group Connect service allows users to create groups directly on the phone and instantly begin a conversation, without prior setup.

“By incorporating Bluetooth wireless technology into the Motorola i605 phone, we are offering users a convenient way to go hands-free, eliminating the need for wires or cables between the phone and a compatible Bluetooth enabled headset, laptop computer and potentially other compatible Bluetooth-enabled devices,” said Rey More', senior vice president and general manager, Motorola’s iDEN® Devices.

“The Motorola i605 is a data workhorse that powerfully runs various industry solutions while withstanding the outdoor elements with a rugged design. The Motorola i605 and its exclusive features, such as Group Connect service, are more examples of Nextel’s diverse product and service offerings designed to meet the varying needs of all our customers,” said Blair Kutrow, Nextel’s vice president of Product Management.
