How Cool is Your Bluetooth Headset?

brandobluetooth1.JPG As you can see from the picture this appears to be a valid pen/stylus. Only it isn't one exactly. It's a communication device, and that's why we're featuring it. Oh, and one more thing, it's not a pen at all, it only looks like one but it can be used successfully as a stylus for your... future palm maybe?

Motorola Z8m Comes to Town

|

motorola-z8m_thumb.jpg
I am not a huge fan of slider phones, but I have to admit I took more than 5 minutes to check the new 3G Motorola Z8m out. This slider is a little bit special than its competition in terms of design. It's meant to adjust to the shape of your face. I don't know if this feature will really influence the quality of our phone calls but it certainly is really innovative at least. The Z8m is the third Z8 version and will be launched in Korea. The starting price is somewhere around $500.

This is what the new edition of Motorola Z8 has to offer: the upgraded HSDPA - from 3.2 to 7.2Mbps, the regular QVGA 2.2 inch display and the 2 megapixel camera. There's of course the one touch MP3 player, the Bluetooth and USB 2.0 for data transfers and integrated and very useful GPS systems. As for space you have an 80MB internal memory available to start from and as you go along getting more pictures and music, the micro SD option that lets you store up to 4GB of data.

What could you possible want more from Motorola? A drop in price maybe.

Cell Phone Company Credo Goes Eco-Friendly

The fact that Earth is dying slowly under our excessive exploitation is well known. Because of that everyone is trying to contribute the way they can to find alternative ways for getting all that necessary energy stuff for our daily complicated lives.

Credo is the first cell phones and related accessories manufacturer to develop eco friendly products. Not only have they come up with some interesting pieces of engineering but they have also donated more than $60 million - representing 1% off their overall revenue - to organizations fighting for Earth's rights like Greenpeace, Rainforest Action Network, the Endangered Species Coalition and more.

And let's see what these easy to use and easy to purchase daily commodities Credo offers:

  • CREDO Iqua Solar Bluetooth headset. This is of course a Bluetooth with up to 200 standby hours. It can be connected to any kind of Bluetooth device and it gets it's required power directly from the sun. Probably it will charge up on a rainy day too!
  • CREDO Tread handset case. Buying this case made out of recycled tires means preventing cancer. Those tires usually get burned and the benzo(a)pyrene which gets in the air we breath is a dangerous cancer risk factor.
  • CREDO Solio Charger. Charge your phone, your iPod and your digital cameras with this sun-power charger. It will prevent the release of large quantities of CO2, thus fighting the greenhouse effect.

These are all very affordable accessories that can be hooked to multiple phones. We all should be more interested in taking action against massive pollution and this can be our way of helping out.

HP iPAQ 900 Series Business Messenger

Hot off the presses! HP's new iPAQ, the HP iPAQ 900 Series, just got approved by the FCC. Featuring a ton of goodies including GPS, HSDPA support, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and more, this is one venerable all-in-one. Called a Business Messenger, the HP iPAQ 900 series is bundled with a Stylus and comes with a 1940 mAh Li-polymer rechargeable battery. For some reason, it is shipped with a wired stereo handset, but hey, it's got Bluetooth, so I'm sure you'll end up buying spankin' wireless ones.

The device features a mini USB interface. One of the nice things about the iPAQ is its QWERTY keyboard. It also features the familiar 5-way navigation key. Running on Windows Mobile 6, the device takes in microSD memory cards for added memory. There's also an on-board 3-megapixel camera with flash.

There are tons of other details available on the FCC site, go check it out in your free time (which is RIGHT NOW, people!). No word on the pricing or availability yet.

Nokia 6212 Classic Cell Phone - Featuring Electronic Wallet

|
Nokia 6212

The much awaited Nokia 6212 classic, featuring Near-Field Communication (NFC) is finally here. It's a 3G handset that not only lets you access web services and share content but also use the phone as your wallet - conduct payments and ticketing right from the device. Expect the device to ship in Q3 of 2008.

And it's not just payments that you can use the phones for: two users can conveniently exchange business cards, calendar notes or what not by simply tapping their handsets together. Sure, you could do the same with Bluetooth, but that requires pairing the devices and so on. I don't know what's different with NFC, though - I guess I have to wait like everyone else for the phone to hit the markets.

You can also share photos and videos by tapping an NFC-capable phone and pairing with a Bluetooth NFC-enabled device. The new Nokia BH-210 headset with NFC also allows users to access all functions with a single multifunction key. Fitted with a 2-inch display, a 2 megapixel camera and stereo FM radio, it supports microSD memory cards for added memory.

Priced at €200 before taxes and subsidies, it will hit Europe and Asia by Q3 of '08.

BlueAnt V1

The BlueAnt V1 Voice-Controlled Bluetooth Headset has won an award at the recently concluded CTIA Wireless 2008. Boasting of the "Best Cell Phone Accessory", the headset lets users easily control most functions of their headset through the BlueGenie Voice Interface. You can forget about pushing buttons on the device, except for a single activation button that lets the user control the V1's menu system through a voice interface.

The BlueAnt V1 also incorporates dual microphones and advanced techniques to extract the user's voice signal from ambient sounds for clear speech. The Bluetooth headset also features echo cancellation and wind noise protection. With support for Bluetooth 2.1, the manufacturers claim a battery life of 6 hours talk-time or 200 hours standby.

Priced at US $129.95, it is available from BlueAnt.

Sony Ericsson G700

The new Sony Ericsson G700 mobile phone was also approved over the weekend along with the Nokia RM451 mobile phone. The G700 features a camera on the front, to use the phone for video conferencing. It features the familiar 5-way navigation key, as well as buttons for volume control on the side of the device. On the back, it has a 3.2 megapixel camera.

The G700 comes with a Stylus, so navigation and typing out emails can be convenient. You can also use the stylus to pan photos. The phone is also a 3G phone. It supports the Memory Stick Micro (M2) for added memory up to 8GB. When connected to a computer, it will act as a USB mass storage device for convenient file transfer. There's also an integrated RSS feed reader!

The Sony Ericsson G700 supports MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV9 and Real Video formats for video playback, and for audio, it supports MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+. No word on the pricing or availability in the US yet.

An as-yet unnamed Nokia mobile phone has made its appearance at the FCC. The phone, which carries the FCC ID RM451 (and is referred by the same name in the phone user manual), is approved for use on the EGSM 900, GSM 1800 and 1900 networks. It supports WAP 2.0 protocols including HTTP and SSL. It also supports MMS, email, instant messaging, presence enhanced contacts and remote synchronization.

The Nokia RM451 also includes 1GB of internal memory. It supports the Nokia Xpress audio messaging application, as well as the ability to create Flash messages. Flash messages are text messages that are instantly displayed upon receipt. Note that these messages are not automatically saved into the SMS application's Inbox.

The phone also supports Bluetooth. Tons of profiles are supported, including: SIM access, object push, file transfer, dial-up networking, headset, hands-free, service discovery application, generic access, serial port, and generic object exchange. No name, no word on the availability or pricing. But the phone looks stylish enough, so I won't be surprised if it is one of Nokia's fashion phones.

descLG's new phone, the KC550, has got the FCC's seal of approval. From the very sparse documentation available - as with all LG phones, because they like to keep things confidential (including photos - I mean, come on guys, who in this day and age keeps photos confidential?!) - the KC550 is a GSM/EDGE phone, which basically means there's no 3G/HSDPA support on this baby.

The KC550 also features Bluetooth support. Since the device has been granted approval only recently, there is no word on the availability or pricing yet. Check back with us on that one.
