The Motorola mr30 (mp1-1B11) was introduced in 1998 as the third (mr1, mr20, mr30) in the range of Motorola mobiles designed specifically for use on the Orange network. It featured an alphanumeric LCD display that could display two lines of text with a range of fixed icons that included a permanently displayed signal strength and battery charge meter. The phone book could store 100 telephone numbers and associated names within the phone's memory and a further 90 in the SIM card. A one touch dialling feature allowed quick access to the numbers stored in the first 9 phone book entries. A range of call timers was also included together with an audible alert and a call log recorded the numbers of the last 10 calls made and received.
