Motorola Advances the Mobile Music Experience through Bluetooth

New suite of Bluetooth wireless-enabled products merges wire-free mobility
with musical entertainment

LAS VEGAS, NV. - 6 January 2004 - Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) forges new
ground in mobile music with the announcement of the Motorola Bluetooth®
Stereo Headset HT820, Motorola Bluetooth® Stereo Transceiver DC800 and
Motorola Bluetooth® USB PC Adapter PC850. Designed for freedom, ease of use
and seamless access to favorite songs, this trio creates a premium hi-fi
wireless mobile music system.

As the first headset of its kind on the market, the Motorola HT820
wirelessly connects to a Bluetooth wireless-enabled phone and a separate
music source simultaneously - promising that users can enjoy favorite songs
without missing a call. Music automatically pauses when a call comes in and
when the call ends, the music resumes play. The intuitive headset features
controls for both the music source and mobile phone - making it easy to
play, pause or stop a favorite song, as well as receive, answer or end calls
wirelessly.

"Motorola continues to lead the industry with its development of innovative
Bluetooth wireless-enabled handsets and accessories," said Bruce Hawver,
vice president and general manager, Companion Products Group, Motorola,
Personal Device Business. "Whether looking for an in-vehicle solution,
headset, a wire-free music experience, consumers can rely on Motorola's
Bluetooth portfolio for style, simplicity and advanced functionality."

Motorola's new trio of music-focused Bluetooth products eliminates the
clutter of cables and provides Bluetooth connections for up to 10m (30
feet) - delivering flexible, high-quality, hands-free communication and
entertainment.

About the Products
The lightweight, ergonomic Motorola HT820 provides premium communication and
music connectivity with minimized background noise and reliable battery
power. Complete with a 3.5mm headset jack and accessory cable, the headset
is compatible with non-Bluetooth devices for universal music enjoyment.

With the ability to turn most stereos into a wireless music system, the
portable Motorola DC800 streams content to the Motorola HT820 from the
stereo and Bluetooth wireless-enabled mobile phones, PCs or other devices.
For group listening, music can be played through the stereo speakers.

The Motorola PC850 empowers traditional laptops and PCs with Bluetooth
technology, establishing cordless connections to compatible mobile phones,
headsets and PDAs. Whether used to share and stream music files, data or
images, the PC adapter provides a new level of mobile convenience.
