'The F3000 builds on the success of our award-winning F1000 handset, our
first-generation WiFi phone launched last year and the low-cost market leader
in WiFi handsets worldwide,' said
Hong Lu, president and chief executive
officer of UTStarcom, Inc. 'Much like the F1000, UTStarcom's F3000 is designed
to enable consumers the ability to reap the benefits of VoIP service without
being tethered to a fixed-line and at a consumer friendly price point.'

With a sleek, clamshell design available in both black and gold,
UTStarcom's F3000 WiFi handset bridges the gap between traditional WiFi phones
and today's state-of-the-art cellular devices, offering consumers an alluring
combination of form and functionality. Measuring 85 x 43 x 22mm and weighing
approximately 90g, the F3000 features a full-color, 1.8' LCD screen,
polyphonic ringtones, text messaging capability and talk-time of up to three
hours and stand-by time of approximately 75 hours.

The phone supports a range of voice protocols, including SIP, SDP,
RTP/RTCP and RFC 2833/inband DTMF, and utilizes ITU codecs G.711 and G.729. It
operates at WiFi 802.11b/g 2.4GHz and supports WiFi security WEP64/128 and
WPA. The F3000 also supports a variety of user interface languages, including
English, French, Chinese and Spanish, and standard PSTN features, such as call
waiting and three-way calling, are also available. It is easily configured,
supporting auto-provisioning and remote software upgrades.

Additionally, UTStarcom's F3000 features an Auto-Search capability,
enabling users to locate WiFi networks within range and store these profiles
for later use. Moreover, the handset can be programmed with three separate SIP
accounts, providing both service provider and access point flexibility for the
end user.

The handset is currently being deployed by customers worldwide and can be
purchased directly from UTStarcom or through one of the company's regional
