Timeport L7089

The Motorola L7089 was introduced in 2000. It was designed specifically to be able to work in both Europe and the USA by virtue of being a tri-band mobile supporting 900/1800 MHz spectrum in Europe and 1900 MHz in the US. It's monochrome screen could display five lines of alphanumeric characters with fixed icons. An address book could store up to 100 telephone numbers and associated names within the phone's memory. Access to the address book was provided by one touch dialling for the first nine entries, voice access and by using a Smart Button which was located on the left hand side of the phone. A Voice Notes feature allowed you to record up to three minutes of speech using the start / stop button located on the right hand side of the phone. The Motorola L7089 also included an infra-red communications port, a clock, vibrating alert, call logs that recorded the last 10 dialled and received calls, a range of call meters and the ability to send and receive SMS text messages.
