    It’s not just the Motorola Z10 that’s officially announced — it’s also the ROKR E8 which we’ve already seen for two times in the past.

  • Motorola debuts the Motorola MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset

    Following on their “TrueComfort” line of uber-comfortable Bluetooth headsets , Motorola has just announced their newest Bluetooth headset - the Motorola MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset. The sleek, silver, almost Mac-like design (notice the MacBook Pro-esque main button and perforated metallic bezel) adds a touch of style to the headset’s impressive feature set. And, the MOTOPURE H12 isn’t just a looker, it’s diminutive size makes it all but disappear on your ear. The MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset rocks Motorola’s CrystalTalk audio-enhancing technology, previously only found on the company’s high-end mobile phones, to ensure that you can hear the conversation clearly, even in the noisiest of environments. But, it’s not all about hearing the conversation, Motorola wants to make sure that you can be heard clearly and accurately as well. The MOTOPURE H12’s noise-reduction technology works in tandem with a dual-microphone setup to isolate your voice and deliver sharp, natural sounding speech to the listener. But, all the features in the world do nothing for the user experience if the headset is a pain to wear. So, Motorola has also designed the MOTOPURE H12 with the “ TrueComfort ” philosophy of headset design that we saw launched with the Motorola H680 and H375 Bluetooth headsets. As the new flagship of Motorola’s Bluetooth headset lineup, the MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset packs in all the features that Motorola has at its disposal. The feature-set reads like a rundown of Motorola’s Bluetooth headset know-how - high-fashion design, CrystalTalk technology, noise-reduction DSP with dual microphones, and TrueComfort wearability. Oh, and the MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset is good to go for 5.5 hours of talk-time with continuous noise-reduction. What more could you ask for? What’s that you say? You want the price? Well, dear reader, the price is not yet...
  • MOTOROKR T505 Bluetooth in-car speakerphone with FM transmitter officially announced

    Back in July, we’ve talked about the upcoming Motorola’s Bluetooth accessory that bundles car speakerphone with FM transmitter. Well, now it’s officially announced but unfortunately we’ll have to wait it till Q1 2008. If you still haven’t understood, the MOTOROKR T505 works BOTH as a car-kit AND as a FM transmitter. That’s a single device, which allows you to listen to your music from a Bluetooth A2DP enabled phone, plus use it as a car speakerphone! When someone calls you, it automatically mutes the music and audibly announces the Caller-ID. Nice, very nice! Full press release follows after the jump. PRESS RELEASE - Motorola, Inc. is dialing up the experience of hands-free driving with the introduction of the MOTOROKR T505 Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone and Digital FM Transmitter, its first road-ready, music-oriented ROKR accessory and the latest addition to its portfolio of in-car solutions. The MOTOROKR T505 enables consumers to connect a compatible Bluetooth enabled phone¹ to the car sound system and enjoy hands-free calling and their own personal music collection in outstanding stereo sound. Motorola will unveil its newest Bluetooth automotive accessory here at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show, the premiere automotive specialty products trade event. The T505 is extremely portable and requires no wires or installation. Drivers simply clip the device to a car’s visor and pair the T505 using Motorola’s EasyPair technology to a compatible Bluetooth device. When the T505 is connected to a stereo Bluetooth phone, such as a MOTORAZR or MOTOROKR Z6, or an MP3 player, calls and music are streamed wirelessly with the perfectly-tuned clarity and wide-ranging volume of a car stereo. Drivers with standard Bluetooth phones can use the T505 to make and take their calls over the car stereo. And when the ride’s over, the T505 can be easily unhooked and taken to another car for the next trip. “Today’s...
  • FCC outs Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth headphone sunglasses

    Does anyone actually wear these things? The FCC has outed the Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth sunglasses on their web-site . Seriously, the Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth headphone sunglasses look similar to the Oakley Thumps there were such a fantastic flop. Motorola’s joint venture with Oakley to develop sunglasses with built-in headphones seems to be more of a whimsical exercise in design than a real seller. But, to the O ROKR’s credit, the awkward MP3 player that bulged out from the side of the Oakley Thump is been replaced with a more sleek Bluetooth module. The O ROKR Pro’s are designed to work with a Bluetooth connection to stream music from your handset, and supports AVRCP for controlling your music from the sunglasses. The shades also double as a wireless headset, so that’s a definite plus. Up-time is claimed to be 5 hours after a full charge. Pricing and availability is not yet known. We’ll keep you updated.
