It just so happens that Motorola have announced a wireless developer programme in the past day or two, that seems to be free (as far as I can tell).

I will also see if I can email someone to point up your post, and see if that helps. Best regards, Steve Dr Stephen Hill Senior Systems Engineer GSD Systems Engineering Analysis Motorola
