With its unique, rounded design and touch-sensitive vanishing external
display, the Motorola VU30 Rapture for Verizon is as stylish as it is powerfully
packed with multimedia and communication features. It's compatible with the V
Cast Music and V CAST Music with Rhapsody services, which enables you to
purchase songs through your phone and download them via Verizon's fast EV-DO
data network. You'll also benefit from the phone's A-GPS receiver, which enables
you to access Verizon's VZ Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions. Other
features include 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth for handsfree devices
and stereo music streaming, MicroSD memory expansion, access to personal email
and instant messaging, and up to 4.5 hours of talk time.
Verizon Service Options
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to
the Internet and Verizon's multimedia services (additional charges applicable),
with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak rates up to 2
Mbps. The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs instantly to your
phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the files to your phone.
If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of the song: a Windows
Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a
Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V
CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast Music offers nearly 2
million songs, with more being added all the time.
In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with
Verizon's V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access this exclusive
digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V CAST Music with
Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to three
Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs and Web
browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are able to
download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of digital
rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can be
played.
The V Cast Video service enables you to stream or download video clips to
your phone from a variety of news, entertainment, sports, and weather channels,
including CNN, ABC News, E!, CBS Sports, The Weather Channel, and VH1.
Verizon's Mobile eMail gives you access to your Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo
Mail and AOL accounts so you can read, write, and reply. Access your address
book, receive e-mail alerts and more, right on your Verizon Wireless phone.
Getting on the Internet is easy using Verizon's Mobile Web 2.0 package, which
allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your
favorite web content on your phone. Verizon's Media Center wireless download
service is also fully compatible with this phone. This pay-per-download service
features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also
personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the Media Center service.
With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access Verizon's VZ Navigator
service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted turn-by-turn
directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million points of
interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and detailed color
maps. And Verizon's Chaperone service lets you easily locate your loved ones
from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC in real time. After defining a zone, such
as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via text
message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone.
With BroadbandAccess Connect (subscription required), you can use your
smartphone as a modem for your notebook when you connect the two using a USB
cable--or open a Bluetooth connection--enabling you to access the Internet or
your company intranet. The tethered modem capability is ideal when you're
traveling and need to use your notebook to check email, access corporate
networks, or download large files like presentations and reports. And with
BroadbandAccess Connect, you won't have to buy an extra PC Card or other
devices.
