Mar 1, 2007 gps navigation, motorola, phones

The famous Startac phone that first was released in 1996 by Motorola is now coming back to life in Korea as StarTac III a.k.a. MS900. The new Startac phone features NATE GPS, which is a rebranded name of location based services offered by SK Telecom – which suggests the new Startac III phone integrates an A-GPS chip.

The Motorola Startac III will come with a 2 inch QVGA screen that can support 260K colors and will have 128MB of internal memory. It promises to give you 160 minutes of talk time and 300 hours of stand-by time (that’s more than 12 days? wow). Other features include MP3 player functionality, external LED for notifications, and a speaker phone.

It sounds like a basic phone with only necessary features – shouldn’t cost much when it comes out later this year.
