Talk and drive with Bluetooth car kits

I love driving and I love talking on my cell phone. But for some reason, for longest time I resisted Bluetooth car kits. I just put up with not being able to pick up the phone while I was driving, and pulling over to check or send a text message became a fact of life.

Recently, my friend made me realize that I was living in the dark ages. “You MUST go Bluetooth!” she urged me. “Everyone else has!” So, rather reluctantly, I started looking for Bluetooth car kits on the internet. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they weren’t nearly as expensive as I thought – I guessed they would cost around $200, but there were plenty of discounted Bluetooth headsets on sale for less than $100!

After lots of debating about styles and even colors, I purchased a stylish Jawbone Prime Bluetooth Headset in red. It’s AMAZING! It pretty much eliminates all background noise which means I don’t have to yell just so the person on the other end of the line can hear me. Apparently, there’s some voice sensor that has a way of identifying and isolating your speech! Pretty cool stuff.

I am now the biggest Bluetooth fan. They really are a great safety investment – no more being tempted to avert your eyes from the road to look at your cell phone or having to pull over on the highway. Can’t wait to jump in my car and call one of my friends!

Get the most out of your smartphone with discount cellphone accessories

I’m a self-confessed cell phone addict. A couple years ago, I invested in my very first Blackberry smartphone, and I’ve never looked back. I’m not sure how people still get around these with regular cell phones that don’t allow you to browse the web.

I recently bought a Blackberry Curve 8300 and I really couldn’t live without it. It does everything I want it to do. I’m hopeless at filing and keeping track of bits of paper, so I love the memo pad which I can use to jot down notes when I’m out and about. The calculator application is awesome too; my calculator died a while ago, so I figure out all my bills on my phone.

The phone camera is also awesome – I love how clear the digital images come out, and I’ve saved money by not having to buy a digital camera on top of a phone. And of course, I love being able to Google anything in an instant and check my email wherever I am. I’m a grad student now and I check my email constantly so I can be the first one to respond when casual jobs going at school are emailed to everyone – I scored a $25 an hour all-day gig last week because I was the first one to respond!

And talk about all the discount cell phone accessories! Man, it seems like there's always a new cool gadget to buy, from wireless Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth car kits, sleek leather cases, my phone just gets better and better.

Oh yeah, and finally the games. I’ve downloaded a ton of them to my Blackberry, and they keep me occupied on the train. CaveMan, Pac-Man, BubblePopper, Space Invaders – and of course, Tetris!
