• Motorola Bluetooth H700 Headset

    The Motorola Bluetooth H700 headset is expected to be out in the fourth quarter of 2005. It offers a number of design improvements over its predecessors.

    The Motorola H700 Bluetooth headset offers a 30% reduction in size over the H300 model. This makes it even easier to wear with comfort for long periods of time. It won't sit heavy on your ear or take up a lot of space on the side of your head. The smaller size won't allow you to use a AAA battery the way you can with the H300. And it won't give you the same extended talk time as the H300. You can expect about 6 hours. On the other hand, you can expect even more standby time-up to 130 hours.

    The H700 incorporates the same positive design features as earlier models and adds some new ones as well.

    The Old

    Like previous designs, the Motorla Bluetooth H700 headset has an ergonomic reversible ear hook for superior comfort, intuitive on-touch access to the most desired features, simple volume controls with orientation technology that assures the volume controls are always upright, and an LED light to indicate when the headset is in use.

    The New

    In addition, the H700, already smaller than previous models, is foldable when not in use, enabling it to fit easily in small spaces without adding to the bulk of your cell phone. The H700 employs cutting edge noise reduction and echo cancellation technologies to make sure that your conversation is crystal clear. It supports the state of the art Bluetooth Class 2 standard but is backwards compatible with Bluetooth 1.2 or 1.1.
