CrystalTalk™ (krĭs'təl-tôk). n. Noise-canceling technology manufactured by Motorola; "a bundling of microphone noise reduction and noise adaptive speaker enhancements meant to improve the clarity and intelligibility of speech while you are in a noisy environment." - Motorola.com
This terrific noise-canceling technology is featured in Moto's new RAZR2 V9 and V8 handsets for AT&T and T-Mobile. With the aid of CrystalTalk, the new RAZR2 delivers impressive call quality and has earned itself a PC Magazine Editors Choice award. So what's Motorola's next big move for CrystalTalk? To bring it to every Bluetooth-enabled phone.
Enter the Motopure H12, the CrystalTalk-enabled Bluetooth headset.
Aside from the addition of CrystalTalk, the Motopure H12 is almost identical to the Motorola H680, a.k.a. the Espresso. The company is hoping CrystalTalk will bring the superior call quality of the RAZR2 to any Bluetooth-enabled phone that the H12 is paired to.
Like the H680, the H12 has got a lot going for it. It's tiny and comfortable, and its buttons are easy to use. Motorola shipped it to us with two charging bases--the capsule-enclosed one that also comes with the H680 and a brand-new one that grips the headset via magnet. That's luxury.
Rest assured PC Magazine will soon post reviews of both the H12 and the H680. But as it stands now, the best-sounding Bluetooth headsets are on the larger side (the Plantronics Voyager 510 and Aliph Jawbone, for example). Let's see if Motorola can change the game.

That looks awsome...i definatally have to get my hands on that once they release it! I wonder how well it works with small echo'ing apartment spaces..

Lay - the headset is available now. I picked one up from an AT&T store here in Tucson last night. It's tiny as compared to a Jawbone, which is the headset I'm coming from. The only thing I'm concerned with right now is incoming call quality at high volume. I need some more time to evaluate that though.

Anyone know how this handles in wind? I still have not found the solution for my convertable

I constantly got complaints from my girlfriend about wind noise with my Jawbone. When I bought the H12, she didn't even know I was on a headset, even when I was in an outdoor walk through that was producing a wind tunnel effect on a windy fall day.
So far my only concern is battery life - it has been going dead after 24 hours. COuld just be my model though, who knows.

I bought one today and it echo's in my ear, But the person on the other end thinks i'm talking on the headset.
