Since Motorola’s takeover of Symbol Technologies they have begun to bring their experience of designing user friendly  mass market cell phones and combined this with the experience Symbol have had with building more rugged business focused Pda’s and handheld computers and this is exactly what they have done with their latest release the Motorola ES400. Though it takes the form of a more traditional cell phone the ES400 is aimed at managers and mobile workers that need to keep connected with the office infrastructure. It also builds on the success of the Mc55 and moves Motorola one step closer to combining the user friendly features of a cell phone with the essential business needs of an Industrial Pda.

Billed as an EDA (Enterprise Digital Assistant) The ES400 has many of the features  found on many smart phones on the market today including a full QWERTY keyboard combined with a touch screen, but it has also been built to stand up to the rigors of business life. Though not out of place in a board room it can also easily withstand every knocks and falls, increases in humidity, fluctuations in temperature and moisture.

For the Motorola ES400 to really be a success in the business world they had to pack it full of features these include the normal additions associated with handheld running windows mobile, with the 3.2 megapixel camera the ES400 can easily function as a mobile data terminal, an included signature capture panel will make it ideal for any logistics or courier companies.  Other standard features include and LED flash, video and camera; though none of these would be considered essential for business environments they help to make the ES400 appeal to a wider market.

With the addition of both GSM and CDMA the ES400 will allow you to connect to multiple networks even when you are outside the 4 walls of your office. The built in MP3 player is yet another addition which will make this handheld appeal to the mass market, Integrated Bluetooth will allow wireless connection to a multitude of devices from printers to head sets.  A extended life battery will allow up to 250 hours between charges.
