Jabra BT250v Enhances Best-Seller

CHICAGO, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Jabra, the leading brand of hands-free communication products for the mobile consumer market, announces the launch of the Jabra BT250v, the latest evolution of the Jabra BT250 -- a recipient of the CES Innovation Award 2004 and the iF Product Design award 2005. The Jabra BT250v builds on the success of Jabra's bestselling headsets the BT200 and BT250, with the addition of a unique call alert feature and a great new look to suit an even broader range of consumers.

The Jabra BT250v has a call alert feature that silently vibrates to inform users that they are receiving an incoming call. The vibrate function is automatically enabled when customers first switch on their Jabra BT250v and can be easily disengaged by holding the volume down button. In addition, the Jabra BT250v comes in a distinctive new black color making it suitable for even the most fashion conscious user as it easily compliments any mobile phone.

Designed for simple, all day hands-free use with any Bluetooth mobile phone, the Jabra BT250v shares the same behind-the-ear wearing style as the Jabra BT250, combining comfort, style and performance. The Jabra BT250v gives customers the freedom to use their mobile phone up to 30 feet away. The BT250v delivers up to 7 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours of standby time. Its soft elastomer body weighs only 3/4 oz. and its sound-absorbing material reduces distortions resulting in crisp sound quality. The headset features Jabra MiniGels(TM) that channel sound directly into the ear for superior clarity and reception.

The Jabra BT250v in summary:

* Vibrate alert for incoming calls
* Up to 7 hours talk time, up to 200 hours of stand-by time
* Comfortable and practical behind-the-ear design
