Motorola V270 cell phone receives FCC nod
The FCC-approved Motorola V270 GSM phone comes with Push-To-Talk (PTT) functionality. It also features Bluetooth connectivity, GPRS, a mini USB port, and productivity applications like calculator, currency converter, the staple alarm clock, and an event reminder. The phonebook and calendar can be synched with a remote server via the Internet. Pretty much a standard phone with no 3G functionality to wow the already jaded market. Via Mobile Whack
