Motorola Accompli 009 is a communicator style GSM cell phone designed and developed by Motorola. The device has GPRS, voice calling and a color display, along with a WAP browser, email, PIM functionality. It was announced on September 26, 2000 [1] and released in Europe then in the US in September 2001. [2]

Accompli 009 has a 256 color display and runs on Motorola's proprietary Wisdom OS operating system. This was seen as a disadvantage against Palm OS and EPOC. [3] It has been referred to as a smartphone for its abilities and tri-band GSM cellular feature. [4] The Motorola Accompli 009 also has the ability to send faxes. [5] Some considered it to be an "always on" device rivaling BlackBerry. [2]

CNN.com described it as a device that "does everything": "It’s a pager, a personal information manager (PIM), wireless e-mail unit, wireless Internet device and a wireless phone." [6]

The Wisdom OS was also used on the Motorola PageWriter 2000, the Motorola Timeport P935 and later the Motorola A630. [7] [8] The phone also makes a cameo appearance in Vin Diesel's XXX. [9]
