Home > Motorola

The E680 will support SD memory expansion cards up to 1GB, and music and video content downloads via USB, Bluetooth, or GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). GPRS supports theoretical download speeds up to 115kbps, about one third the speed of a typical home DSL connection.

The E680  will include multimedia playback software supporting a variety of formats, including MP3 audio, MPEG4 video, and RealPlayer multimedia content. MIDI ringtones will also be supported, and available for download. A content partnership with Music Television (MTV) is slated to provide content to users outside the US.

In addition to integrated 16mm 3D stereo speakers, the E680 will be available with optional stereo and FM radio headsets.

The device will feature a 240x320 pixel (quarter VGA) color screen both supporting portrait and landscape modes. An integrated VGA (640x480) camera with an 8x zoom lens will support MPEG4 video capture.

The E680 will include a WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) Web browser and a variety of messaging clients, including email, text, and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). The E680 will also support 3D games, including J2ME gaming and "8-way navi and gaming keys." Motorola in October announced its plans to incorporate next-generation Java technologies in future Linux-based mobile phones.

Motorola's previous Linux-based phones have been based on MontaVista Linux, and have used the Qt/Embedded graphical application framework. Sources at MontaVista and Trolltech would neither confirm nor deny whether their products are being used to build the E680. Belcarra recently announced that Motorola has licensed its USB networking stack for use in its Linux phones.
