SCHAUMBURG, IL UNITED STATES
 Motorola Debuts First Bluetooth(R) Headset with Proprietary Technology for
    Maximum Audio Performance in Noisy Environments, CrystalTalk(TM) for
                                  Headsets
   Global Media Lend an Ear, Experiencing High-Performance Headset During
           Motorola's First-Ever Global Virtual Press Conference

    LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a launch heard
around the world, Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today unveiled the MOTOPURE
H12 Universal Bluetooth(R) Headset(1), a premiere product that helps users
to better hear and be heard in dynamic noise environments. Taking the
MOTOPURE H12 to the streets and other noisy locations where today's
on-the-go consumers live, work and play, Motorola introduced its first
headset with Motorola's audio-enhancing technology, CrystalTalk(TM) for
headsets.
    As seen -- and heard -- from some of the world's noisiest locations,
including the busy streets of New York City's Columbus Circle and one of
London's most trafficked transportation hubs, Paddington Station, Motorola
today unveiled the MOTOPURE H12 during the company's first global virtual
press conference. Designed for the most sophisticated, discerning mobile
consumer, the new headset features superb noise cancellation, discreet
convenience and an iconic look.
    "The MOTOPURE H12 provides an unmatched combination of superior sound
quality with style and comfort to help today's sophisticated mobile
consumer to hear and be heard as they move about their busy day in
different noise environments," said Jason Few, Corporate Vice President and
General Manager of Companion Products, Motorola, Inc. "The H12's premiere
audio technology, design and style make it a premium hands-free solution
that helps 'silence the noise' for on-the-go consumers and marks Motorola's
innovation and expertise that have driven the company's growth and global
leadership in the Bluetooth accessories market."
    The headset's version of CrystalTalk technology -- previously only
found in select Motorola handsets -- is always on to enhance the audio
experience without any sort of user intervention. The MOTOPURE H12 uses
dual microphones to separate the user's voice from background and wind
noise, enhancing the user's voice and channeling pure, clear, natural
sounding audio to the caller.
    The MOTOPURE H12 also assures extended wear comfort thanks to its
TrueComfort(TM) ear bud design. The design is driven by Motorola's
extensive ergonomic measurement study of the human ear, with research that
included two years of digital assessments that spanned age, sex and race.
The result: a fit that is optimized around shape, not just size.
    Additional in-demand features round out a completely new consumer
experience:
    -- Using TrueComfort design, the three ear cushion options, combined with
       a smaller-than-standard eight millimeter external speaker, deliver an
       "outstanding" fit, according to more than 90 percent of people tested.
    -- The flexible lightweight ear hook securely holds the headset in place
       to prevent it from flapping or falling.  The headset also can be worn
       on either ear, and even comfortably with eyewear.
    -- A mix of materials that projects a petite silhouette, including
       perforated alloy bezel and diamond-cut metal, high gloss accents and a
       soft touch side housing.
    -- The headset comes complete with a suite of accessories to integrate the
       H12 into the consumer's dynamic day including a matching desktop
       charger, charging case and shirt clip.
    -- The headset has a talk time of up to 5.5 hours(2) -- with consistent,
       constant noise reduction -- and a wireless range of up to 10 meters.
