Another day another leaked image, that day its the upcoming Motorola M990 Smart Rider. The info is courtesy of the FCC and it shows off a phone with a rare name and purpose. According to the details the Motorola M990 will be called the Smart Rider and will be a “GSM high tier fixed mobile car phone.”

The thought of a phone that is limited to a car sounds really funny these days, but the specs compose it sound nearly like a normal mobile phone. Based on the FCC’s “Electromagnetic Compatibility analysis Report” the Smart Rider offers “not only voice but additionally high speed notes services, entertainment, data, advanced network connection, BT connections, GPS navigation services, etc. Aside

from that it is quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, with a “big” color screen, integrated GPS and Bluetooth.

I think the best part is when the document mentions that “it is targeted to a broad band of markets looking for exclusivity like business men, limousines and private cars looking for stylish communication and navigation solution.” Even the description of the intended market makes that phone sound like a device from the 1980’s.
