A few months ago, I came across BluePhoneElite 2, an application for Mac computers that promised to make it easier to manage calls and messages between the computer and my Symbian phones using bluetooth. I was super busy at the time, and it’s only recently that I decided to give it a try and I [...]
I reviewed the Plantronics Discovery 925 over a year ago, and our good friends at Plantronics were kind enough to send over a Discovery 975 to test out. The Discovery 975 is an update to the Discovery 925, with a newly redesigned form factor and more useful leatherbound charging/carrying case. I’ve tested the headset with [...]
When Plantronics offered to send me a Voyager PRO to review, I was hesitant to accept. I’ve always hated the big-body style Bluetooth headsets, favoring the smaller ones. In fact, my first Bluetooth headset was the NextLink Bluespoon – at the time, the smallest Bluetooth headset on the market. However, they promised that what the [...]

The BH-214 is a medallion with [...]

This is where accessories such as the Atomic Pico bluetooth dongle come in. This dongle is [...]
Symbian and S60 are smartphone platforms. Sure. But for “smart”phones, they can be pretty dumb sometimes. Case in point a few message notifications that appear in specific conditions. For all the 38 months that I’ve had a Symbian device, I’ve been annoyed by these, and even though I got used to them, I still shake [...]
This morning, Nokia announced the new BH-905 Stereo Bluetooth Headset, complete with active noise cancellation. This headset is not only stylish, but adds several key features that many of you have requested in previous headsets. For starters, the active noise cancellation uses a unique combination of low and high frequencies to eliminate background noise, making [...]
