I realise this is down to personal preference – But which phone would you recommend for business calling? By this I mean I need bluetooth but no other gadgets – I need a phone that has really good sound quality (preferably so my customers think I’m in my office rather than in my house) and that has good battery life.

I have used gadget phones and pda phones in the past and although they are useful, they are pretty terrible at phone calls! Does anybody make a good quality phone anymore which just does calling well?

Any advice gratefully received.

PS I am the UK

It’d be nice to have only one gadget to go through the day with as I’m pretty mobile.
I use an iphone presently. the screen is so small though.
Geekspeakpedia~ would it be too much to ask for it to have a bluetooth earpiece too? Thanks much!

Do you know of any cell phone, operating system or some similar gadget that will release at least 1 week later? If you do, please answer ASAP.

PS: Products related to TV, computers, etc. will also do. If possible, also include a link to that product. Thanks.

I see all these questions on the handheld and PDA section of YAnswers dedicated to PSP’s, GBA’s and Nintendo DS, but so few about actual PDA’s.

Also, when did PDA’s ring? Yes, there are PDA’s that are also phones, but they’re called "smartphones".

Smartphones are covered in the cell phone category.

I just want to get some good information on what a good old fashioned PDA can and cannot do without seeing some idiot with a video game system ask how to pimp his useless technological gadget or some person that couldn’t be a**ed enough to go learn how to tether his PDA and cell phone together and buy a smartphone complain about some moronic problem they encountered because they’re not used to actual business electronics.

Anyways, 10 points to the person that can answer this rhetorical question the best.

Somewhere I saw a gadget advertised that will plug into an outlet and connect the satellite tv to the voip phone service and work as a regular phone line for the satellite tv. Does anyone know anything about a device like this?

I am in a Nigerian university, and they (we don’t know who, because there was no information preceding this- NONE) just installed some sort of terminal in my department, which we have been seeing across campus.

It has a keyboard, a screen and a phone handset.
Presumably we can use it to make phone calls, or browse the Internet, and we are informed that we can buy special cards, or use our ATM cards to access its services. This raised an alarm with me.

First of all, this contraption seems connected to the regular Internet we use in school, that serves the whole campus. I remember this movie (the one with Travolta, Jackson, and Berry), where they showed that it was a really big deal to get into a bank via the Internet- that if you wanted to do stuff with accounts, you had to get into a bank that was connected specially. Or does that only apply to mega-accounts?

I also remember a story in a business magazine, about some enterprising crooks in America, who industiously made their own ATM machines, looking and weighing just like the real thing- only these don’t dispense cash- they plead "out of order," while they ave recorded your ATM card details, which will then be used to rob your account.

Can this new gadget be on the level, or is it a new fraud being snuck in? It will take a while before we can check with our administration. In the meantime, I am warning everyone to be careful about what they put into them- namely their ATM card and Internet account details.

This thing booted with what looked like the regular XP Operating system, and I saw the usual icons when they were installing it.
Dear DUNBAR PAPPY, thank you for your advice. Now I am really alarmed.
I am attempting to upload a picture of what this unit looks like.

Here is what the machine looks like.
Is this what is in use in America, Europe, or Asia? Is this what it is used for in other countries?

We could be looking at an enormous disaster, if people are being tricked into entering their ATM card details, and Internet Mail passwords into a terminal that can be used to steal them!
