Company to start cell phone venture with Motorola

Monday, Sept. 15, 2003 | 9:13 a.m.

Microsoft plans to announce today that Motorola, the second-largest maker of mobile phones, has agreed to produce a high-end phone based on the Windows Mobile software platform.

The deal is a coup for Microsoft, which has struggled over the last four years to gain credibility in the mobile phone market.

The new glossy black clamshell-shaped phone, called the MPx200, will go on sale in Britain in October through Orange for a retail price of 239 pounds ($383).
