Cellular South Launches Motorola Evoke™ QA4 Touchscreen Phones

Users One Touch Away From Social Circles With Integrated Widgets, Real Web Browsing And IM-Style Messaging

Ridgeland, MS (June 26, 2009) – Cellular South, a leader in wireless solutions and innovation, today announced availability of the Motorola EvokeTM QA4 touchscreen phone and its advanced social networking features to customers of the nation's largest privately owned wireless communications carrier.

The stylish, advanced device offers consumers different messaging styles with a full touchscreen QWERTY keyboard and slide out traditional keypad along with customized home screen content with integrated widgets and personalized RSS feeds and a full HTML browser to share pictures, videos and more over Cellular South's 3G high-speed data network.

"We understand the importance of having a mobile phone that helps consumers stay connected simply and seamlessly with their friends and family, whether they prefer to talk, text or network," said Wade Smith, director of product development and management for Cellular South. "This device offers users cutting-edge convenience and the instant gratification of a full touchscreen, intuitive online browsing and the ability to stay plugged in on their terms."

Staying in touch has never been easier with unlimited access to the mobile web through the device's Internet browser and unlimited access to free and purchased applications, games, ringtones and more - all for only $9.99 a month, Smith said.

Whether consumers want to stay connected through phone calls, messaging, Web feeds or social networks, the Motorola Evoke meets their needs, including offering multiple ways to make a phone call with a physical slider keypad and intuitive dailing features on the touchscreen. Equipped with an accelerometer, the Evoke can be turned on its side to reveal a full touch QWERTY keyboard for easy texting. Home screen messaging icons, predictive text and IM-style messaging make it easy for users to follow the back-and-forth of multiple conversations.

The Motorola Evoke also places a premium on clear and convenient communication with noise reduction technology to help lower background noise on phone calls, intuitive calling features on the touchscreen and Bluetooth technology to keep in touch hands-free.

Smith said it's easy to customize the Evoke to bring the content that's most important to users straight to the phone display. By using integrated widgets to access real-time information, social networking sites and personalized RSS feeds from the Web, such as weather, sports scores, stock reports and news headlines, consumers decide which widgets appear on their home screen and which are hidden.

Available color: black with gray brushed metal trim and rounded corners
