Motorola today announced Good Mobile Messaging 5, incorporating innovative email and PIM capabilities that help enable mobile users to easily find what they need when they need it and get work done. New features include:
- Group and find by conversation and sender: sorts and groups emails by conversation thread and/or sender, helping users to easily pinpoint important messages and save time by filing and/or deleting an entire thread or group
- Complete calendaring: helps invite participants to a meeting, provide real-time visibility into their free/busy status; and automatically suggests and reserves conference rooms based on past preferences and availability
- Edit and send documents: securely accesses corporate intranets using Good Mobile Intranet (GMI); enables downloads of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF documents directly to the smartphone; allows users to edit files and attach them to outbound emails
- Dial without password: dials a contact from a password-protected phone without requiring users to enter the password - all while keeping email and contacts data secure
- Third-party access to contacts: option to provide third-party applications, such as voice dialing and SMS, with access to Good contacts, helping to enhance device usability
Good 5 introduces a number of new customizable features that personalize the mobile experience:
- Mobile RSS reader and subscription manager: helps keep users current with information from preferred sources - including business news and alerts. Subscribe to, manage, and preview feeds - all without having to leave the email inbox, launch a third-party application, or navigate a mobile Web browser
- Priority mail: helps quickly identify messages that are important to individuals based on their unique preferences; defines and distinctly marks priority mail by sender, distribution list, who's in the to: or cc: fields, and other user-selected criteria
- Personalized notifications: assigns unique sounds and alerts to priority emails, so that users are less likely to miss the emails that matter most
Good 5 helps provide more control by giving IT professionals all of the advanced device and data protection capabilities previously available only through the Good Mobile Defense product, through a single-management console and complete over-the-air controls. Features include:
- Mandatory applications: helps set and enforce the installation of mandatory applications like anti-virus checkers to ensure that users have what they need - both to do their jobs and to comply with corporate security policies Application lockdown: blacklists and prevents the launch of unapproved applications Device lockdown: locks down the camera, infra-red (IR), WiFi and/or Bluetooth wireless technology ports; enforces SD card encryption Advanced password management: enables administrators to set granular criteria for password characteristics, restrictions, and expirations Advanced encryption management: provides rules-based enforcement of SD card and database encryption policies Simplified load balancing: enables IT to move users across servers to facilitate load balancing - without the need to re-provision
Good 5 is expected to be available in September through cellular operators worldwide, certified value-added resellers, and directly through Motorola Good Technology Group. The software and service will support a broad choice of the industry's most popular smartphones, running on both IBM Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange.

Motorola and Sanyo Ranked Highest in Customer Satisfaction
Motorola and Sanyo tied in highest overall customer satisfaction with cell phones, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 U.S. Wireless Mobile Phone Evaluation Study.
The study found that Motorola performed particularly well in the physical design, operation and features factors, while Sanyo received high ratings in operation and battery functionality. Following Motorola and Sanyo in the rankings and performing above the industry average are Samsung and LG, respectively.
Other findings include customers keeping their mobile handsets for an average of 17.5 months - an increase from 16.6 months since the last reporting period (November 2006). This marks the first increase in the reported ownership cycle since 2002, when the average was 18.4 months. The increase in ownership tenure is roughly equal across major handset brands.
Additionally the price a customer pays for their mobile phone has dropped from an average of $103 in 2002 to $93 in 2007. The decline is primarily due to discounts given by handset providers and wireless service carriers to incentivize sales. Currently, 36 percent of customers report receiving a free mobile phone when subscribing to a wireless service - up considerably from 28 percent in the 2002 study.
The study also finds several key wireless handset usage patterns:
- Sixty-nine percent of all cell phones owned are a clamshell design - an increase of 19 percent from 2006. This compares to 29 percent for the candy-bar style, and 2 percent for the slide-cover design.
- Handset features that are used most frequently include: speakerphone (51 percent); camera capabilities (35 percent); services to send/receive short messages (22 percent); and gaming (16 percent).
- More than one-half of all current wireless users compared other handset brands before selecting their current wireless phone. Those customers who compare phones during the selection process are more likely to be satisfied overall with their current handset than those who do not.
Volume 1 of the 2007 U.S. Wireless Mobile Phone Evaluation Study is based on experiences reported by 21,520 wireless users who have owned their current mobile phone for less than two years. The results are from the two most recent study reporting waves, which were conducted in October 2006 and February 2007.
