 Motorola has unveiled the H17, a Bluetooth headset with an extended mic boom that folds up and turns the unit off in the process. This is nothing new for Motorola--the idea dates back at least to the Motorola HS850, if not earlier. But it's interesting to see it make a return in a new product.
In addition, the H17 features Motorola's CrystalTalk technology for better audio quality, along with RapidConnect, which lets H17 owners power-up the unit and answer a ringing call just by unfolding the boom. The H17 also includes voice prompts for pairing instructions and battery status. It lacks the bone conduction found in the company's high-end Endeavor HX1 headset, though.
Motorola claims the H17 offers five hours of talk time on a single charge; a quick 15-minute charge will bring back two hours of talk time. It also connects simultaneously with two devices (like many recent Plantronics models). No word yet on a price or release date.
