The Motorola Ultra Classic was released in the USA in 1989 and is the equivalent of the European 8900X. This particular example operated on the USWEST Cellular Network-now part of Qwest Communications International. The keypad layout is the same as the Motorola 8500X except for the fact that the NAME key on the 8500X is replaced on the Ultra Classic with a LOCK key which, it is assumed, locked the phone's keypad. It is also assumed that the remaining keys performed the same functions as those on the Motorola 8500X.
