Motorola PEBL U6 on Sale in Hong Kong

Motorola today announced that the Motorola PEBL U6 is now on sale in Hong Kong through authorized retailers. Inspired by the feel of a stone worn smooth by water, the oval handset marks a significant evolution in Motorola's mobile design ethos.

The PEBL U6 has a distinctive rounded shape that articulates one of the key forms in Motorola's evolving design philosophy. While attributes such as "chiselled, thin and defined" steered the development of the RAZR, the PEBL U6 is shaped to reflect "tactile, soft and mysterious" qualities and unveils a small yet luxurious object of desire.

Jim Wicks, VP of Consumer Experience Design at Motorola, says: "The PEBL U6 silhouette is created to emotionally and rationally engage with consumers. It has a character and defined personality that speak a very human and intuitive language through sight, sound and touch."

A perfect marriage of design and innovation, PEBL U6's unique opening mechanism adds to the mystery and allure of this simple, yet distinctive, handset. Features include integrated Bluetooth wireless technology, speaker-independent voice recognition, up to 5MB of memory, and a VGA camera. All seamlessly merge to deliver an effortlessly cool experience.

Following the success of the RAZR, the PEBL U6's distinctive profile continues to lay the foundation for Motorola's design strategy and product portfolio.

Pricing and Availability

The PEBL U6 is available in black for HK$3,480 ($450 USD) and available at Motorola authorized retailers from Oct 17, 2005. The Motorola PEBL is expect to be released in the U.S. in Q4 2005.
