  Nokia N80

  Nokia's N80 is one of the company's new breed of high-end media handsets, and is one of the first such devices to use the new 3rd edition of Nokia's S60 user interface. This is significant because S60 3rd edition is both far faster and attractive than prior versions, making the N80 a pleasure to use.

  The Nokia N80 features a a very clean and attractive slider design.

  The N80 comes in a very clean and attractive slider design. When closed, the numeric keypad is hidden within its 4.8oz, 3.8" x 2" x 1" body. The 5-way directional pad controller, a pair of softkeys, a pair of editing keys, and the normal red and green call buttons are still accessible. In terms of feel and usability, the N80's d-pad controller takes some getting use to, but the rest of the buttons and keys are all fine.

  When it comes to connectivity, Nokia's N80 has it in spades. It will work on any of the 4 GSM bands found throughout the world, and even supports 3G WCDMA networks as well - where available. But there is more to it than that. For example, the N80 supports the new enhanced GPRS system called EDGE that is available here in the US and other places, and it also supports 802.11g WiFi data for connecting to a network at high speeds when at home, the office, or a local coffee house. It is even capable of SIP compliant Voice Over IP (VOIP) service, when configured to work with a compatible provider. But that's still not all, as the N80 supports Bluetooth v1.2 and infrared wireless connections as well.

  As far as entertainment is concerned, the N80 is equally ready to go. For starters, it comes equipped with a 3.2 megapixel digital camera with a macro mode and red-eye reduction capable flash. The macro mode allows the N80 to take quality photos of people and landscapes as well as smaller, closer objects like flowers. The camera also is capable of recording fine quality video clips in MP4 format at 352x288 pixel resolution, or lower quality 3GP clips at 176x144 pixel resolution. Whether you are shooting video or stills, you hold the N80 horizontally like a digital camera. A dedicated shutter button sits comfortably under your right index finger when used in this way.

  Nokia's N80 is one of the company's new breed of high-end media handsets.

  Nokia's N80 is also quite capable of keeping you entertained with music, too. You can load up the included 128MB miniSD memory card with music, or buy your own card of up to 2GB in capacity for many hours of music. Of course having the capacity to store a lot of MP3 files is of little use if the music player application is no good. Luckily, the N80's dedicated multimedia button launches Nokia's new music application, which mimics many of the features found in dedicated MP3 players, such as sorting songs by artist, album, genre, and track name. You can create and edit track lists on the N80 itself, or use Nokia's included software. The N80 uses the de facto standard M3U format for playlists. If you manage to run out of MP3 files to listen to, you can always instead use the built-in FM radio with the included stereo headphones.

  The Nokia N80 comes equipped with a 3.2 megapixel digital camera with a macro mode and red-eye reduction capable flash.

  Of course no handset is perfect, and the Nokia N80 has a few shortcomings. For one, all of those high-tech features require a lot of battery power. As such, the N80 only managed 4.75 hours of talk time, and realistically will need to be recharged every other day at least. Also lacking is the quality of the voice dialing system. But if you can deal with those limitations, the N80 will reward you with more capability in a handset than could have been imagined only a couple of years ago.

  Pros:
  

  • 3.2MP camera
  • Great MP3 player
  • WiFi/EDGE/3G/Bluetooth

  Cons:
  

  • Weak battery life
  • Poor voice dialing

• Parrot CK3400 LS GPS Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit

  Parrot

  
  If you own a Smartphone or a PDA with navigation software, the Parrot 3400 LS-GPS Car Kit is made for you. It combines a Bluetooth hands-free kit with a color screen and a GPS antenna, and is compatible with most Bluetooth phones or PDAs. At a time when legislation is tightening up to restrict the use of mobile phones in vehicles due to safety concerns, the Parrot 3400's benefits are not just for the sake of convenience and comfort -- they are fast becoming a real necessity. As with all Parrot car-kit devices, the 3400 LS-GPS offers the user seamless, hands-free use without the inconvenience of wires, headsets, or cradles.

  The LCD color display screen of the 3400 LS-GPS provides the same visual information and functions as your mobile phone, such as caller ID, carrier signal strength, or last calls received, on a large, well-contrasted display that's easy to read at a glance. The display sports 160 x 128 pixels, supports 262,144 colors, and features adjustable brightness and contrast. There's even a customized color interface with wallpapers.

  Using the Parrot 3400 LS-GPS is simple. Turn on the car engine and the device synchronizes wirelessly with your phone. This allows it to not only display your phone book, but the photos you have set to correspond to certain incoming callers, as well as enabling voice recognition so you can make hands-free calls. Depending on your phone's model and firmware, most features are accessible from the hands free console, including one-touch redial, dual call, and auto-answer.

  The Parrot 3400 LS-GPS makes navigation as easy as placing and receiving phone calls by constantly sending your vehicleÂ''s position to your Smartphone or PDA. Any routes you have programmed in are calculated by your PDA and its navigation software -- such as Route 66, ViaMichelin, Tom Tom, and Orange -- and directions are transmitted back to you through the vehicleÂ''s speakers. You can just sit back and let your car, via your Parrot 3400 LS-GSP, tell you exactly where you are, and where you need to go.

  The kit can be installed in almost any vehicle, and it's designed to automatically mute the radio while you are on the phone. Incorporating high-quality sound, the Parrot 3400 LS-GPS features echo cancellation, full duplex sound, voice recognition for up to 150 names, and hi-fi polyphonic ringtones. And when you have multiple drivers in the same car, the unit allows for up to five mobile phones to register, each with separate address book synchronization. This unit also features the ability to update the control module without having to remove it from your car.

  The LCD screen and keypad on the Parrot 3400 LS-GPS measures 64 x 58 x 20 mm (H x W x D), weighs 60 grams, and comes with a one-year warranty. Note this car-kit will not work in cars that use optical cabling. Check with your car dealer before ordering. Also, since this car-kit is installed by hard-wiring to the existing car stereo, professional installation is highly recommended.
