New toy: Hands-free

New toy: Hands-free
Originally uploaded by smhyla.

This is the bluetooth headset that I recently bought to complement my new cell phone (thanks to my bro's recommendation). This is the Motorola H700, which can flip open/close as necessary to extend the battery life as opposed to older models. I love it! Literally, I only have to lift one finger to make or take a phone call. With a touch of a button, I can give a voice command, such as "Call Ghostbusters mobile." Hee hee.

One minor disadvantage is the inability to screen calls, therefore you are answering all calls. Sometimes there is static, but I think it depends on the distance and clearance between the headset and cell phone. The major disadvantage is the lack of a battery indicator. Sometimes it just stops working properly, but maybe it just needed some recharging.

Other than that, I love it. Normally my hands are full, so this works for me. Not that I'm a great multi-tasker, but it's great for talking and driving (even though it's not safe). In case you're interested, this toy costs $120 at Best Buy, or a mere 100 bucks on the internet with no shipping and tax. It costs just as much as my new phone. I wonder how long it will last before it breaks or gets lost. I've already dropped my cell phone at least once so far. Eek.
