* Tap-to-toggle icon enables instant re-routing of audio between handset and speakerphone modes.
* Front receiver and microphone support handset use.
* Back loudspeaker supports speakerphone mode.
* Call notification by ringer (audio), LED (visual) and vibration (touch) function enables users to select the mode most suitable as the working environment situation changes. For example, when salespeople on the retail floor are with a customer, vibrate mode eliminates any perceived interruption by the customer yet allows the worker to still receive incoming calls.

Voice quality-related features:

* Mechanically and acoustically designed to deliver outstanding voice quality and functionality in all user modes.
* Intel® XScale™ 624MHz processor provides the power to support simultaneous voice communications and data capture/applications. Users can place a call to obtain needed information while scanning bar codes or entering information into a business application.
* Dual-band 802.11a/b/g provides the flexibility to segregate voice traffic to 802.11a and data to 802.11b/g for improved voice quality and availability.
* SIP-based partner applications are supported, which work in conjunction with the wireless LAN to ensure quality of service (QoS) for voice calls.
* Acoustic Echo Cancel (AEC) eliminates the annoying echo which often occurs on consumer PDAs in speakerphone and handset modes.
* Smart power management through Motorola-only features ensure ample battery power for full shift talk time by reducing unnecessary broadcast traffic, allowing the device to remain in a low-power mode without missing voice calls or data messages.
* Fast Wi-Fi roaming via unique and patented Motorola features ensures little or no interruption during VoWLAN calls over Motorola wireless LANs. For example, pre-emptive roaming and load balancing work to ensure users roam to the next access port before connection quality erodes.
