CeBIT watchers were hoping for a spark to reignite the mobile revolution -- and the name of that spark might just be G-P-R-S

Motorola is about to announce a 500,000 unit order of its GPRS-based Timeport 260 mobile phone, most likely to a European telco.

Mike Zafirovski, Executive Vice-President of Personal Communications at Motorola made the announcement at a press conference held at CeBIT this morning to showcase its portfolio of GPRS devices.

According to Zafirovski, the company has shifted 150,000 Timeport 260s since it was launched. Full report and pics to follow.
