NewACT and Motorola to Introduce vufone(TM) Worldwide on AURA(TM)


SAN FRANCISCO and YOKNEAM, Israel, January 27 /PRNewswire/ --

- Service Launched on Motorola's Unique Handset That Breaks Convention 
and Re-Establishes Artistry in the Design and Manufacturing of Mobile 
Devices

The vufone service launched as a pre-loaded application on AURA,
Motorola's phone inspired by luxury watches and handcrafted design, and is
enabling a seamless experience for consumers to gain true mobile freedom and
manage their contacts, calendar, pictures, videos, music, messages and more
from the Web, PC and various internet services. Customers can upload and
download media content over-the-air from the Web directly to their handsets,
and organize and share their mobile content using a customized and
personalized friendly web interface.

"The majority of mobile phones do not make it easy for users to manage
their own data and connect with various online services. Managing contacts,
meetings, publishing or downloading media files and migrating data between
mobile devices is usually a challenge." said Roy Erez, VP Business
Development and General Manager North America of NewACT. "NewACT has
leveraged its existing offering and technology already commercially deployed
with several mobile carriers, and have introduced vufone as an end-to-end
service to improve the way users deal with their day to day content and
mobile phones."

"Introducing a new handset carries with it the challenges of migrating or
losing valuable user content stored on legacy devices," says Paul Leeper,
Director of Partnership Management, Motorola Mobile Devices. "By working with
NewACT to offer the vufone service, Motorola is enabling AURA users to manage
their mobile content across devices and mobile networks, making the
transition much more seamless."
