Network and connections
With the fast development of mobile technology and the increase in its use in the Business field, a new category of devices is emerging. These are the EDA, or Enterprise Digital Assistant, smartphones designed specifically to offer an ad-hoc work tool for enterprise users. Here then is Motorola proposing one of the first EDAs on the global market, the ES400. It integrates a GSM Quadband network receiver, which together with UMTS support guarantees optimal coverage. The fast HSPDA modem is also present, so as to make the most of data connection speed. A Wi-Fi antenna is also integrated. Obviously Bluetooth and USB connection are also present.

Design and features
The aesthetic look of this Business Phone is not elegant and refined, but functional for any work environment. The casing is in fact very sturdy, thanks to the resistant materials used. The rounded edges guarantee a secure grip in any condition. It in fact meets the MIL-STD 810G standard, being resistant to humidity, violent impacts and extreme temperature changes, as well as being water resistant. The front part houses the screen, a 3-inch TFT capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. It is also equipped with Resistive Touch Screen technology, for comfortable and quick management of content. Just below is the extended QWERTY keyboard, essential for quickly writing any type of text. The dimensions are average, with a thickness of 16.4 mm and a weight of 156 grams.

Main features
The platform on which the ES400 is based is Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional, synonymous with reliability, compatibility and completeness. Java support also allows installing additional software as desired, to meet every user need. E-mail, Office documents and PDF files and any other office tools will be within reach. There is even a biometric fingerprint sensor, to protect the most sensitive data. Another particular feature is the Barcode Scanner. As for the telephone aspect, there is a speakerphone, voice recorder and support for video calling.

Entertainment and multimedia
A device of this level certainly cannot lack tools for break times. Here then is a digital camera, with a resolution of 3.2 megapixels. It allows obtaining good quality images, thanks also to the numerous dedicated functions. The memory available to the user is expandable up to 32 GB, so as to always have your favorite music and videos with you. Windows Media Player will play it all without any problem. The battery life is not exaggerated, lasting up to 250 hours in Stand-by.
