America’s First Globally Capable MOTO Q Handset

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, and SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Nov. 1, 2007 — AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) and Motorola (NYSE:MOT) announced today that the MOTO Q™ 9h global will be available exclusively to AT&T customers in the U.S. beginning tomorrow. The 3G-powered MOTO Q global is the first MOTO Q smart device sold in the U.S. with worldwide capabilities1.

The MOTO Q globalis a high-performance smart device with a new, sleek form factor. The MOTO Q global offers AT&T customers a full ergonomic, integrated QWERTY keyboard; outstanding voice quality; downloads at up to 3.6 Mbps via AT&T’s UMTS/HSDPA-based BroadbandConnect network;2 Windows Mobile ® 6; built-in GPS capabilities; Documents to Go® for document editing; Opera browser; seven dedicated shortcut keys; a 2.0-megapixel camera with flash; and support for both a host of enterprise- and consumer-oriented applications and services. These include the debut of My Q Paks, a suite of third-party application bundles designed to meet a MOTO Q globaluser’s lifestyle needs. These applications are all made possible through relationships with software developers that are members of Motorola’s MOTODEV Developer network.

The MOTO Q global provides access to AT&T’s BroadbandConnect network in more than 200 major metropolitan areas across the U.S. and coverage outside 3G service areas via AT&T’s nationwide3 EDGE network, the largest national high speed wireless data network in the U.S. The EDGE network is available in more than 13,000 cities and towns and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.

Outside the U.S., AT&T customers can use the MOTO Q global in more than 135 countries to access e-mail and other data applications and to browse the Web, and they can make or receive phone calls in more than 190 countries — the largest international wireless footprint of any U.S. carrier.

“The MOTO Q global literally opens up the world to MOTO Q enthusiasts,” said Michael Woodward, Business Voice/Data Products, for AT&T’s wireless unit. “AT&T and Motorola are teaming up to provide our customers with a world-class device, operating platform, applications and services and network experience that they can take with them around the globe.”

Using Good Mobile Messaging 5 on the MOTO Q global, business users get a fully integrated mobile RSS reader and subscription manager, the ability to group and sort e-mail by conversation threads, the ability to customize priority e-mail with personalized notifications and complete calendar capabilities, including real-time free-busy visibility. In addition, Good Mobile Messaging 5 provides IT managers with ultimate control through advanced security and management capabilities, including a mandatory application checker, application blacklisting, granular device-feature lockdown and SD-card and database encryption, all through a single management console with complete over-the-air controls.
In addition, business users will be able to access other services, such as:

• TeleNav GPS Navigator™. This provides GPS-enabled turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving direction, colorful 3-D moving maps and traffic delay alerts/rerouting for use in vehicles or while walking.
• TeleNav Track™. This is a fully hosted, on-demand and comprehensive GPS-based workforce-management solution.
