WE CAN ALL JUST GET ALONG
Call Motorola's new wireless wiz Mister Congeniality. The
TIMEPORT 270 adapts to both cellular and
Bluetooth (radio
wave) formats. Its tri-mode telephone is compatible with all types
of wireless phone signals, so you can call home from anywhere in
the
United States. Its Bluetooth side lets it talk with laptops,
handheld computers, and other portable products - without cables or
wires (you will need an optional Smart Module and PC card,
however). A big, bright display holds six rows of text to make
reading and sending e-mail easier, and a 1,000-number phone book
keeps you in touch with friends, family, and colleagues. A "joy
stick" comes in handy when navigating the Net. Need we direct you
to Tiffany.com? Around $350; available in March at motorola.com.
Bluetooth-enabling Smart Module and PC card run about $150
each.
