Verizon Wireless and Motorola Announce the Highly Anticipated Motorola Q

Exclusive to Verizon Wireless, The QWERTY Smartphone Delivers E-mail, Entertainment and Seamless Mobility in One Ultra-Thin Package

Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading wireless service provider, and Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT – News) today announced that the highly anticipated Motorola Q(TM) will be available starting on May 31. The Motorola Q is exclusively available through Verizon Wireless and customers can purchase it online at http://www.verizonwireless.com on May 31 or at any Verizon Wireless Communications Store on June 5.

Perfect for customers who multi-task and want flexibility in today’s fast- paced business environment, the Moto Q’s style and phone-first mantra builds upon the design revolution created by the Motorola RAZR(TM) — the best- selling clamshell handset in the world. The Moto Q — which runs Microsoft Windows Mobile® 5.0 software — delivers an uncompromising mobile experience in an all-in-one handheld device that combines the reliability of a great phone, personal productivity capabilities, powerful enterprise connectivity and entertainment in a thin and stylish form factor. The Moto Q also utilizes Verizon Wireless’ BroadbandAccess network — the nation’s most award-winning wireless broadband network — to send and receive data.

“The Moto Q is a real must-have device that enables true seamless mobility by liberating all of us from the constraints of our offices and living rooms,” said Ed Zander, chief executive officer of Motorola, Inc. “On Verizon Wireless’ broadband EV-DO network, the Moto Q brings together all of the converged solutions you need to work, stay in touch or have fun. With the best voice, data and design technology in one ultra-thin, intelligent, hard- working device, the Moto Q allows you to be productive and entertained wherever you go.”

The Moto Q will redefine what customers expect from a QWERTY handheld. With Windows Mobile software, Moto Q puts a “mini notebook” in Verizon Wireless customers’ pockets by providing enough power to let them leave their laptop at home to check e-mail*, review presentations, and stay connected for a week or a weekend. Couple that with its “cool enough for Friday night” design, multiple entertainment options and simple, intuitive features, and the Moto Q will help Verizon Wireless customers stay productive, creative and in- touch while on-the-go and however they choose.

Denny Strigl, president and chief executive officer of Verizon Wireless, said, “Enterprise technology, consumer electronics and mobile are converging to create major productivity advantages for the work world. But those advantages have only been available to a select few — until now. The Motorola Q offers power, style and ease-of-use in a cool ultra-thin format, giving Verizon Wireless customers an uncompromising experience in one device.”

The Moto Q also makes good business sense for companies — big and small – - providing a converged mobility solution to help organizations improve their business, increase productivity and efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction. Features of the Moto Q from Verizon Wireless include:

— Integrated Bluetooth® 1.2 wireless technology for communicating with compatible headsets, car kits and certain other devices equipped with Bluetooth** technology
