Horsham, PA. – 07 February 2008 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today unveiled its next generation NBBS device management system. With the new 5.0 version of NBBS, Motorola has extended its industry leading device management solution to serve wireless carrier needs – enabling broadband customer premises equipment (CPE), femtocell and mobile device management for WiMAX, GSM/UMTS and CDMA operators. With the new version of NBBS, carriers can accelerate the introduction of new services and devices.

Motorola’s NBBS is a software platform that enables operators to remotely access, configure, and troubleshoot the full portfolio of consumer devices – including mobile phones, CPE and femtocells. This helps to lower operators’ costs by reducing truck rolls and lowering operational expenses. It also helps to increase revenues by accelerating new service introduction. NBBS is a scaleable, carrier-grade system that manages devices, home networks and services. In addition, NBBS enables an excellent end-user experience, improving the relationship between the carrier and the subscriber.

“This new version of our NBBS management platform changes the device management game. It supports our customers’ changing needs as they deploy the next generation of wireless services and devices,” said Alan Lefkof, corporate vice president, Motorola Broadband Solutions Group, Motorola Inc. “Our NBBS platform now goes far beyond the activation of new devices; it allows our customers to manage their customers’ home network and services.”

Motorola’s new edition of the NBBS management platform includes support for the following device management protocols:

• OMA DM – for WiMAX gateways and handsets as well as 3G handsets
• SNMP – for cable modems and cable set-top monitoring
• TR-069 – for DSL gateways, WiMAX gateways, VoIP and IP video

"If you’ve had your eye on the Samsung BlackJack II and the Motorola Q9 Global, you’re not alone. Both run Windows Mobile 6 Standard and have a similar form factor and spec list - no wonder you’re having trouble making a decision! I sought out to find which device is truly the best. Read on for a comprehensive showdown between the two devices! "

There used to be a time when it was hard to find a decent QWERTY Windows Mobile Smartphone device, and now AT&T offers two very good options - the Samsung BlackJack II and Moto Q9 Global. I have been watching both these devices. The thing that is holding me back is the lack of Wi-Fi and the fact that I haven’t been able to decide between the two. For the latter scenario this article on pocketnow.com is very useful.

Fans of gaudy, crystal-covered, precious-metal dipped handsets will love Goldstriker’s tacky, new offering. They are serving up a Motorola KRZR encrusted with 336 Swarovski crystals and dipped in a touch of Platinum.

But, it takes some serious cheddar to rock-out on this level of ostentatious vulgarity. About $1,200, to be exact. If you just gotta have the bling-est handset that shows off to everyone around you that you have absolutely no clue, head on over to Goldstriker’s website and enter that credit card information.

Or, you know, move to the grown-up table and grab a Vertu. Seriously, it’s worth it.
