New Phones, Services Shown at Trade Show

By LAURENCE FROST, AP Business Writer Mon Feb 13, 2:58 PM ET

BARCELONA, Spain - The biggest names in mobile communications unveiled new phones, services and

alliances at a major trade show Monday, jostling for a place in the fast-moving world of third-generation telephony.

Motorola Inc. announced that it is making more phones that can play songs in Microsoft Corp.'s Windows

Media Audio format.

Motorola's most heavily promoted music phones have so far used Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes software.

The first one, dubbed the ROKR, attracted criticism for its slow phone-computer connection and limited 100-song

memory after its launch last year. Motorola last month launched a second iTunes phone, the SLVR L7.

The Microsoft-powered phones will have a faster connection and more storage.

"Consumers want to be able to take more than 100 songs," said Erik Huggers, senior director for digital media

at Microsoft. Unlike Apple, Microsoft licenses its audio format to hardware makers and music stores. Verizon Wireless

uses the technology for its V-Cast music store, which works with a number of phones, including a Motorola model.

Motorola also makes phones that use the Windows Mobile operating system, which handles Windows Media files.

At the 3GSM mobile phone congress in Spain, Microsoft also trumpeted deals with operators including Vodafone Group

PLC to market its Direct Push e-mail technology ? designed to undercut and displace Research in Motion Ltd.'s

BlackBerry ? and announced that it had acquired MotionBridge, a company specialized in search services for cell phones.

Microsoft declined to say how much it paid for the French firm.

But Microsoft's efforts to push Windows Mobile received a setback, as Nokia Corp. joined forces with Vodafone ?

the world's No. 2 cellular operator after China Mobile ? to promote S60, a smartphone variant of the Symbian operating

system developed by Nokia.

The deal aims to establish S60 as a "standard software platform for mobile handsets worldwide," Vodafone and Nokia

said in a joint statement. Nokia, the biggest cell-phone brand by sales, announced three new handsets including

the 6136, a phone designed to switch seamlessly between cellular and wireless Internet calls. It is to be launched

by Orange, France Telecom SA's mobile arm.

Nokia and Sony Ericsson announced a joint development program in the area of mobile TV ? often billed as the next big

thing in 3G wireless services. Major U.S. cell-phone carriers have started TV broadcasts, and trials are underway in

several countries. While mobile TV is still at the pilot stage, wireless music services have gained real commercial traction

in the last year ? especially in Asia ? with Sony Ericsson's Walkman-branded phones leading the charge.

Sony Ericsson announced two new handsets Monday including the K610, a light, compact phone with a music player.

The 3GSM trade show runs Monday through Thursday in the northeastern Spanish city of Barcelona. Almost 70,000

people have registered to attend the event ? more than twice the number of visitors it drew last year.
