Gunmetal Motorola PEBL Given to Oscar Nominees

This year, Motorola is giving Oscar nominees a special-edition PEBL phone in a gunmetal color finish. Recipients will also receive Motorola's new H700 Bluetooth headset and three months of T-Mobile wireless service

Inspired by the feel of a stone worn smooth by water, the Motorola PEBL features an innovative form with rounded edges, a vertical external display and unique dual-hinge mechanism for effortless, one-handed opening. In addition to the eye-catching shape, the PEBL is fully functional allowing users to browse the World Wide Web, share multimedia files and includes integrated Bluetooth technology.

The H700 Bluetooth headset offers Motorola's most advanced features. Boasting exceptional call clarity from noise reduction engineering and Motorola's exclusive RapidConnect technology, the H700 is also 30% smaller than its predecessor.

Last year Motorola gave nominees the Black RAZR, a special device that eventually made its way to store shelves. In keeping with Motorola's traditional Oscar phone efforts, the Academy Award's directing and acting nominees' phones will be 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.
