Cobra PhoneLynx….Did You Know Your Cell Phone Could Do This?

by on July 26th, 2011

I just got the Cobra PhoneLynx, Cell Phone to Home Adapter with Bluetooth Wireless Technology that allows you to use standard land line telephones with your cellular service plan.

Cobra PhoneLynx pairs your cell phone to your home phone so that when your cell phone rings, all the home phones ring, and you can choose whether to answer with one of the home handsets or with the cell phone itself. When you make an outgoing call on your home phone, the call goes through using your cellular service (and minutes if applicable). In short, you can make and answer calls on a normal home phone, even wireless handset leveraging the cell minutes you are already paying for as well as the free nights and weekends.

Texting doesn’t Kill, People who Text While Driving Do….

by on July 3rd, 2011

No preaching intended, these are the facts: If you are driving while sending texts, you are 23 times more likely to be involved in a car accident. Car and Driver conducted a study in 2009 that indicates that texting while driving is significantly more dangerous than driving while intoxicated and we all accept that drinking and driving don’t mix; now we have to open our eyes to the dangers of texting-on-the-road….and do something about it…and AT&T is…

AT&T is committed to safe driving and is delivering this message loud and clear to teens through its Txting & Driving…It Can Wait campaign aimed at educating teen drivers on the dangers of driving and texting. The campaign funds short 10 minute education and awareness films such as The Last Text, four stories of texting, driving, tragedy and needless loss. Continue Reading…

Responsible Drivers Everywhere, Motorola Wants to Reward You

by on June 24th, 2011

You are a hands-free talker when you drive. You don’t fiddle with your phone and chat in the HOV lane. You are responsible and you do it because you know it’s the right thing to do and because you care about others. Motorola salutes your responsible attitude and wants to recognize you, reward you and make it worthwhile for others to follow your example.  June is Safe Driving Month and Motorola Mobility, Inc. is creating awareness in more than 40 states with existing hands-free communication laws by rewarding responsible drivers who keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road with hands-free calling and texting solutions. Through Mototola’s Responsibility on the Road program, Motorola is collaborating with state police in select cities to put Bluetooth devices into the hands of drivers who follow their state and local hands-free laws.

I met up with Juli Burda, Senior Manager for Motorola Mobility’s Gobal PR at the CEA Line Show this week and she filled me in on the program’s details…

Motorola Oasis Handsfree Review

by on October 11th, 2010

Motorola Oasis headsetI am very afraid of driving and talking on my phone. But I will be the first to concede that there are times where you just have to— like when you’re driving on a work errand that’s urgent and your boss calls you while you’re on your way…its practically a guarantee that that’s urgent too. So how to bridge the divide between my fraidy cat tendencies and needing to answer, a place which has me hurriedly accepting the call and then punching the screen near where it says “Speaker” before dropping the phone into my lap while I struggle to hear what’s being said? Why, a Bluetooth handsfree, of course! Continue Reading…

VTech LS6245— Your new “landline-like” phone!

by on October 10th, 2010

pic of the VTech handsetMy friends came over my apartment last week and saw this VTech unit sitting in its base on a counter. They recoiled, then said to me in surprise, “You have a landline?” Friends, I do not. I don’t actually know many folks my age who still do because, really, what’s the point? (Other than in the case of an emergency in a power outage, but hopefully the remaining battery in my cell phone and laptop will enable me to use the internet to send a call someone’s way.) The one funny quirk of only having a cell phone, however, is needing to carry it around with you in the house wherever you go, because if you get a call in one room while sitting in another, you can expect 42 worries voicemails from your mom when she can’t reach you and doesn’t know where you are.

Parrot MiniKit Slim Bluetooth Visor Speaker Phone

by on May 29th, 2010

I Received the Parrot mini-kit slim bluetooth visor speaker phone a  while ago but  hadn’t been able to test it out since i didn’t have a car, (it was at the mechanics) but   as soon as i got my wheels back the first thing I did was try  it out.

I talk so much while I drive that I was able to test it out with in minutes of having set it up, and can tell you it delivers good quality sound and is very easy to configure.
What I loved for most part is that it syncs with your contacts and  identifies the  person who is calling you at the moment. It is also easy to navigate as it will speak the menu options and with just one touch  left or right gives you the option you desire.

Review: The Motorola Endeavor HX1

by on January 11th, 2010

HX1_Gray_r3qtrMotorola recently sent me a sample of the Motorola Endeavor HX1 bluetooth headset to test out. I have never been one of “those” people that walk around all day with their bluetooth in their ears regardless if they are on the phone or not.  I secretly believe these people either think they are (A) important or (B) cool.  Let me just inform you that if you are indeed that person you are neither.

UNLESS you have a Motorola Endeavor HX1 that is.

That’s right I have now become that annoying person in the line at the grocery store or that person eating alone but chatting on the phone with her little headset in. I do however take it off when I am not on the phone.  I may be a tech geek but I do draw the line when it comes to fashion.
