It’s fair to say that more than a few people have commented that my phone<\/a> is a bit big, and that it is difficult to make a call with it without looking like a bit of a berk. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Not any more! If you’ve been following me on twitter<\/a>, you might have seen me obsessively tracking my latest gadget toy from the U.S – an “LG Style-I” bluetooth handset. It finally arrived today. <\/p>\n

\"LG<\/a>It’s essentially like a bluetooth headset – except it has buttons, looks like a normal phone and you don’t have to strap it to your ear. <\/p>\n

(Maybe it was just Doctor Who<\/a> which scared me off bluetooth headsets? \ud83d\ude09<\/em>) <\/p>\n

If I don’t need to use my phone as a PDA, I can just leave it in the bottom of my bag. I can just have this in my pocket and use it like a regular phone (with the only difference being that it uses the Ameo in my bag for it’s cell signal). <\/p>\n

\"T-Mobile<\/a>The handset can make or receive calls – the display with show stuff like incoming caller-ID from the phone and as well as being able to dial numbers normally I can still use stuff like the voice command and speed dials. It looks enough like a phone that I imagine most people seeing it will assume it is a mobile. Which is all much more practical when out and about. <\/p>\n

There isn’t really a big market for these things… unless you also have a phone the size of a textbook, you probably wont need it. But I still think it’s pretty cool. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
