i465
TORONTO, July 9 /CNW/ – Motorola Canada and TELUS today announce the Canadian upcoming availability of an entirely new breed of iDEN device – the Motorola Clutch i465. The Motorola Clutch is a military-style rugged device that combines the Push-to-Talk power of TELUS’ iDEN network with a full QWERTY keyboard making it the ultimate productivity tool for small and medium-sized business users(1).
”Motorola is pleased to announce Clutch – the ultimate choice for quick, easy communications, whether at work or at home,” said Glenn Kennedy, iDEN Sales Manager, Motorola Canada. “Clutch is a multi-talented communications tool whether you need to talk and have a lengthier conversation, for texting when you need to share private information, or for Push-To-Talk capability when you need an immediate response from an individual or a group.”
Clutch offers immediate connection to team members using Direct Connect, either one-to-one or one-to many with Group Call via the TELUS Mike network.
At the push of a button, users can stay connected with their team, crew or family by sending and receiving messages, calendar events, pictures, location information and more without interrupting the Push-to-Talk call. And, with Talk around feature, users can communicate via an integrated two-way radio with other enabled users – even when network coverage is unavailable.
