Motorola has just introduced two new Bluetooth accessories, the Motorola H790 Bluetooth headset and the Motorola T215 Bluetooth speakerphone.

Both are equipped with Motorola's CrystalTalk technology that promises to suppress background noise. The H790 has a thin and sleek design with dual microphones, and even a voice prompt that lets you know if you're on mute, how to pair, and your remaining battery life.

The T215, on the other hand, is a black speakerphone that you can clip onto your car's visor. It promises 36 hours of talk time, a 2-watt speaker, noise cancellation, plus mute. We're not sure of the price just yet, but we'll get back to you with that.

The one thing that has not been clarified is any discussion or experience with this new CrystalTalk Technology is an ability to hear the caller. I have been looking at buying the Motorola Tundra with CrystalTalk and half of the reviews from users say they can barely hear someone who has called them. If the H790 has CrystalTalk then both the phone and the headset will have CrystalTalk, and I want to know if I can turn either one of them up loud enough to hear. Thank you in advance for offering more detail on CrystalTalk capability.

I've found that the H790 is a Sprint exclusive right now retailing for $79.99, but if you purchase it online you get an instant savings taking the price down to $67.99.

I just purchased the H790 and find it to be very good. I can hear the person on the other end quite well and I have been told that the other person can't tell I am on a Bluetooth headset.
