Specifications:
Requires Bluetooth enabled PC laptop or a Bluetooth dongle
Handsfree and handset modes
Stores & charges while docked in your PC Card slot
Works with all Internet phone services: Skype™, MSN®, Yahoo®, Google
Over 3 hours of serious talk time and up to 30 hours of standby time
Installation is very simple, as long as you have Widcomm Bluetooth software on your computer. The only software you must install is a little application that allows the computer to detect when the card is present in your PCMCIA slot and charging. Everything else is taken care of with a standard “Audio Device” profile when your Bluetooth software detects it. Software compatibility is pretty much every chat program that works with speakers and a microphone. It worked with every program I thought of, and would even route music and movies to the device.
Range and battery life were ok, but left a bit to be desired. I could make it about 15-20 feet away from the laptop before interference started to break up the conversation I had. For the price, I might have expected BT 2.0, which offers up to 100 meters of range. Battery life is above 3 hours of talk time, and about 32 hours before it wanted to shutoff. I feel standby time could have been improved if the thing didn’t blink so much, or as brightly
