MOTORIZR Shines in Hands of Hollywood’s Top
Acting and Directing Nominees
Los Angeles, CA (February 2, 2007) – Motorola continues its annual effort to
combine style and innovative technology on Hollywood’s most glamorous night by
debuting its not-yet-available MOTORIZR Z3 phone at the 79th Annual
Academy Awards®. In recognition of their nominations, the top 25 nominees in
the directing and four acting categories will receive a MOTORIZR – the first
consumers in the U.S. to own Motorola’s brand-new form factor mobile phone. The
phone’s sliding mechanism allows users to stay connected via a convenient and
compact device that is sure to make a statement on the walk down the red
carpet.
In keeping with Motorola’s traditional Oscar phone efforts, each nominee’s
phone is packaged in a custom made, keepsake box. This year, the MOTORIZR will
be presented in a package reminiscent of a classic Hollywood dressing room
door, complete with a personalized star with the category and name of each
nominee.
Merging an innovative slider design with an impressive feature set, the
MOTORIZR delivers a dynamic mobile package for socially active, on-the-go
consumers who demand style, fun and adventure. Uniquely crafted, the MOTORIZR
features a thin, narrow slider form factor with familiar finishes, rich housing
materials and a multi-modal design for using the phone in both the open and
closed positions. The MOTORIZR also allows users to shoot photos both
vertically and horizontally, capturing favourite moments at their best.
Appealing to the senses, this sleek, new device boasts exceptional imaging,
vivid colour screen, enhanced music features and global connectivity.
Nominees will also receive two new compatible Bluetooth®-enabled headsets
for use with the MOTORIZR. The first, the H800 headset, merges fashion and
technology with Motorola’s Rapid Connect technology. The lightweight H800
headset mirrors the phone’s design with its on/off slider functionality and
offers an intuitive interface for easy-to-use connections via Bluetooth
wireless technology. Next is the Motorola S9 headset that helps provide
wireless access to music and voice calls – all on the go.
Calls, volume and track controls are managed by simply pressing the headphone’s
buttons. For use with compatible Bluetooth-enabled stereo music phones, the
Motorola S9 headset is perfect for delivering favourite tunes and connecting
users to calls wirelessly at less than an ounce in weight – lighter than an
average pair of sunglasses! Finally, each nominee’s phone is pre-loaded with a
musical mix of 10 new songs from emerging artists that will certainly
compliment any future play list downloaded to the phone.
By offering such desired functionality in a stylish, easy-to-use design, the
MOTORIZR is the perfect companion for any nominee on the red carpet with
effortless style and entertainment on the go.
