i-mode, currently offered by o2 in the UK, offers customers access to content rich mobile internet services such as gaming, shopping, messaging and downloads.

The phones will come with dedicated i-mode soft key to enable access to over 96,000 active i-mode sites.

The Motorola A910 offers Bluetooth connectivity and has the ability to play MP3 music, take pictures via its 1.3 Megapixel embedded camera and runs on a Linux-Java operating system.

The Motorola A910 will be available on BT's Fusion service from Q3 2006.
