Coming Soon to a Cell Phone Near You
Enjoy a summer of go-anywhere, do-anything connectivity with these ultracool products that use Bluetooth to get the most from your phone's (or laptop's) music, photos, and, yes, calling features.
How do I best signal that I'm not entering the 21st century without a fight?
At an order of magnitude larger than most cell phones, ThinkGeek'sBluetooth Retro Handset ($35) lets you showcase your contrarian side. This anti-space-saving device isn't a mere novelty; calls come in clearly, and the cup shape of the receiver is quite comfortable against your ear. The only quibble: the handle's triangular shape, which makes it difficult to cradle against your shoulder. www.thinkgeek.com
How can I stay comfortable while gabbing on the phone?
The embedded microphone and speaker in UrbanTool's perCushion (pricing not set) lets you rest your head comfortably and enjoy music or drift off to sleep while talking on your cell (free nights and weekends!). The world's not ready for a Bluetooth-enabled pillow, so the perCushion isn't being released until 2008. Hopefully by then, the company will fix its severely limited range and ugly color. www.urbantool.biz
