Motorola's Brand-New Iconic Phone Design 'In Hand' on Hollywood's Biggest
Night!
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola makes its annual
walk down the red carpet on Hollywood's biggest night by continuing its
tradition of providing a not-yet-available, state-of-the-art mobile phone to
the Academy Award nominees in the top directing and four acting categories.
In honor of their nominations, the 78th Annual Academy Award nominees will
receive a special-edition PEBL phone in a gunmetal color finish -- the only
consumers to have this edition of the just-available phone. Combining
sophisticated technology with innovative design, the special edition Motorola
PEBL is sure to help the nominees stand out and shine on their big night.
Recipients will also receive Motorola's new H700 Bluetooth(R) headset and
three (3) months of T-Mobile wireless service. T-Mobile USA is the exclusive
carrier of the PEBL phone.
In keeping with Motorola's traditional Oscar phone efforts, the Academy
Award's directing and acting nominees' phones are packaged in a custom made,
keepsake box. This year's package is reminiscent of a classic movie theatre
ticket and is personalized with the category and name of each nominee in
acknowledgement of their recognition by the Academy.
Inspired by the feel of a stone worn smooth by water, the Motorola PEBL
captures attention for its innovative form with rounded edges, a vertical
external display and unique dual-hinge mechanism for effortless, one-handed
opening. Its smooth and sophisticated feel presents a timeless elegance with
a unique finish sure to garner notice. In addition to the eye-catching shape,
the feature-forward PEBL is fully functional allowing users to browse the
World Wide Web*, share multimedia files* and includes integrated Bluetooth
technology. The Bluetooth headset H700 provides Motorola's most advanced
features in its most discreet headset. It boasts unsurpassed call clarity from
noise reduction technology to Motorola's exclusive RapidConnect(R) technology,
and it's an amazing 30% smaller than its predecessor. Additional features
include video capture and playback, integrated VGA digital camera for quality
still photography, speech activated and digit dial, a color display, picture
caller-ID* and downloadable games*.
