Motorola Inc. wants to replace your BlackBerry.

The world's No. 2 cellular telephone maker plans to sell a wireless handset that sends e-mail, creating a competitor to Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry pager.

The keyboard-equipped handset, dubbed Q, will go on sale in the first quarter of next year, Motorola officials said. The company also plans to ship a music-playing phone made with Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple Computer Inc. in the next two months, Motorola Chief Executive Officer Ed Zander said.

Motorola is stepping up the introduction of high-priced multifeature phones to nab share from market leader Nokia Oyj and meet a goal of widening the company's profit margin.

Motorola's Q phone would add to pressure facing Research In Motion, which is adding fewer subscribers than analysts expected and faces a lawsuit that could throttle U.S. sales.

"They clearly have the most compelling lineup of products out there right now," said Brian Modoff, a San Francisco-based analyst for Germany's Deutsche Bank AG.

"There's not another company that can put together this kind of line-up and these kinds of products," Zander said.

At less than a half-inch thick, Motorola's Q is thinner than the popular Razr, which helped boost second-quarter sales at the fastest pace in three periods.

The Q device features Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Mobile software.

Motorola would use the Q to replicate earlier successes by Canada's Research In Motion, which pioneered the technology that lets customers use handheld devices to send wireless e-mail.

Research In Motion disappointed investors last month by saying it would add fewer customers this quarter than some analysts expected. A patent dispute with NTP Inc. could force Research In Motion to halt sales in the U.S., which makes up about 70 percent of revenue.

While users clamor for e-mail on their phones, they also are interested in listening to music, Zander said. He reiterated the promise to deliver a phone that runs Apple's iTunes software by the end of September.

Apple has shipped 21.8 million iPod music players in four years.

Motorola has faced resistance from some wireless service providers that are still trying to work out how to make money on the product, said analysts including American Technology Research's Albert Lin. Zander declined to comment on how carriers feel about the phone.

Bedminster, N.J.-based Verizon Wireless, the second-largest U.S. wireless carrier, plans to unveil its own music-playing phone, made by South Korea's LG Electronics Inc., by August, Verizon Wireless CEO Dennis Strigl has said.

Other Motorola phones scheduled for release this year include the Slvr, a thinner version of popular so-called candy-bar handsets, and the Pebl, a flip phone with rounded edges that contrast with the Razr's rectangular shape, Motorola officials said.

The company will ship three versions of the Pebl this quarter and three versions of the Slvr will be available in the fourth quarter.

The new handsets are part of an effort to take market share from Finland's Nokia and other competitor while boosting profit and expanding margins, said Ron Garriques, head of Motorola's mobile devices business, the company's largest unit.

Are BlackBerry users plugged in to addiction?
INSTANT ACCESS TO E-MAIL, ANYWHERE, HARD HABIT TO BREAK

By Gail Appleson
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

Lawyer Jim Gunn got caught in a particularly embarrassing moment at a recent Cardinals game. He was captured on national television -- thumbs punching away at his BlackBerry.

And plenty of people saw him, said Gunn, a partner at Thompson Coburn in St. Louis.

"I got calls saying, 'What the hell is the matter with you?'"

Sending a PIN message
Select messages from the main screen, push track wheel in then select PIN Message orselect a name from your Address Book that has a PIN number saved to it. Type out the subject and message just like you would with a normal email message and push track wheel in to show the menu then select 'Send'.

Use Auto Text to replace abbreviations:
The Auto Text option can also be used to replace common or self-defined abbreviations. For example, 'imo' could be replaced by 'in my opinion'. Another option is to add an entry 'myadr' that would be replaced by your full office address. In fact, the BlackBerry comes with a nice set of built-in abbreviations. Ex. 'mypin' or 'myver'. Get there by selecting "Options" / "Autotext" / click the trackwheel and select New. Add and Save the entry. (In version 4.0: Select the language)

Name Dialing:
BlackBerry also supports name dialing based on the 'abc' system found on regular phones. To dial by name or to dial a number that contains letters such as 1-800 GOWEBEX, just press the ALT key while you type the letters. The letters will appear on the screen and will be translated to numbers once the call starts.

Store multiple email addresses per contact:
Enter the Address Book / Select a Contact / Click wheel / select Edit / Click wheel / select Add Email Address / Complete the address / Click wheel / save the entry. Next time you send a message to this person, you will be prompted to select the required email address.

Mass delete e-mails stored on my Blackberry without scrolling
The best way to delete mass email is to scroll down to the day you want to prune to, highlight the date marker (eg. Sun, Mar 20th, 2005), then click the wheel and select "delete prior".
