Largest cellphone in the world?

This adventurous man from China decided that the world needs yet another cellphone but what makes this one unique is that it’s probably the world’s largest cellphone ever built instead of going for the world’s smallest.

Wireless stereo using the Motorola HT820 bluetooth headset

DSC00129One thing I don’t like having on my notebook is a lot of wires. Bluetooth technology has been a boon for me ‘coz it allows me to connect things to my notebook without all those wires. It may not be as fast as I want it to be but it’s available now and until wireless USB goes mainstream it’s the only thing available right now.

It comes complete with it’s own case plus a charger with several plug adaptors for probably every type of electric outlet available around the globe. It also comes with with a cable that allows you to connect the headset directly to your computer’s stereo output jack in case your headset ran out of juice which I doubt will ever happen.

I have always loved using my Motorola HT820 stereo bluetooth headset so I decided to write a post about it here. I think the price of the Motorola stereo bluetooth headset is about US$60 if you’re shopping for one right now and I tell you it’s a bargain at that price.
