cd920

The Motorola cd920 was introduced in 1998. It was a flip design with a more ergonomically curved body shape compared to its angular predecessors. The LCD screen was advertised as having a high contrast, easy to read, holographic appearance that could display 4 lines of 12 alphanumeric characters with separate icons for signal strength and battery charge. An innovative feature was the VoiceNote message recorder application which allowed  3 minutes of speech to be recorded. The address book could store up to 100 telephone numbers and associated names in the phone's memory with speed dial access. A choice of 11 ring tones was offered in addition to a vibrating ringer. In addition, the mobile provided a call log that maintained the last 10 dialled, received and missed calls, a clock and the ability to both send and receive SMS text messages. The Motorola cd920 was also offered as the Motorola mr602 on the Orange network in the UK and as the Motorola Monte Carlo.
