Mobile Phones The year 2001 got off to a memorable start as we shipped our 50-
millionth mobile phone to date in January. We added 28 million more CDMA,
CDMA2000, GSM, GPRS, and TDMA phones to that total during the year as we rose

100 million milestone in 2002.

Among the feature innovations that
appeared in our 2001 phone lineup were motorized opening for folder phones,
motorized antenna extension and retraction, an exterior LCD screen on folder mod-
els for caller ID and message display, 40-note polyphony for ultrarealistic musi-
