XLINK ITC-BT CELLULAR BLUETOOTH® GATEWAY (NOT CONNECTABLE TO HOME TELEPHONE SERVICE) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Welp the good is that it does everything and more that the description says. It functions like they say it will function. Actually it also doesn't work properly with Skype, but hey, they didn't claim it would.
When it's all working it really is a neat gizmo. Would be perfect alarm system backup or something where only touch tone was needed.
The big problem I have with this is EVERYONE complains about the audio quality they are getting. I don't know if it's the fact it's powering every phone in the house, or if it's a crappy prepaid cell phone, or a crappy XLink. I need to get another phone to be sure.
If the audio quality was acceptable, this thing would be the shiznit. Even without a reliably working Skype interface. But with some of the poorest audio quality going, maybe it's back to majic jack.

Samsung Intensity II SCH-U460 Phone, Grey (Verizon Wireless) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone because I needed to downgrade from my Blackberry Storm for cost reasons. This phone texts just fine, phone calls work great, but I'm not very happy with the calendar options in that you are unable to schedule an event WITHOUT setting an alarm to remind you about it. I don't need to be reminded about everything I do on the calendar. The only other thing I don't like about the phone is that it has ZERO video capabilities. Other than that, the phone is fine but pretty basic, nothing special.

Xtreme Technologies Xlink BTTN Bluetooth Gateway (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this sucker working in minutes and then spent an hour running it through the paces. It has performed flawlessly. I was almost discouraged to buy this (or similar devices) as it was hard to tell exactly how they would interface with the home system. I thought I would add some notes on the tests I successfully ran (See below). All this was with one paired cell phone and a dect 6.0 cordless phone plugged in the back of xlink.
Ultimately, I've made about 20 calls in and out and I find the technology on par with Apple's mission - easy to use, intuitive and will utlimately become ubiquitous to the user. I have to believe, like DVRs, about everyone will have this technology in their house someday. I'll report back if I downgrade this in the future due to any problems.
Notes:
Only phones plugged directly to xlink will interface with it. If you want to go whole house, use an expandable cordless system with base plugged into the xlink. We have an expandable for our downstairs and other random phones elsewhere. This works nicely, actually. If you are on a cell call using the expandable, then you can make a concurrent land line call from one of the other random phones (but not from any of the expandable handsets).
To call out, you use your phone as normal. It defaults to land line or you can push 1 and flash to call out via cell instead. Caller id number it transmits will be aligned with your choice. If you are on landline and a call comes in via landline, you use call waiting as normal. If you are on landline and a call comes in via cell, you will hear a different beep and can flash over to that call. (Makes me wonder what happens if you started land line, went over to cell to get a call and another land line call starts to come it - will you hear it? Also, I realize I didn't test if you are on cell and another call via cell comes in can you flash over to it - but I imagine that will work too.)
If you are on cell, someone can use landline via a different phone (as long as it's not part of an expandable system whose base plugged to xlink).
If you are on landline on a phone not connected to xlink and someone wants to make a call out via cell on xlink, the x-link connected phone automatically defaults to landline (so people talking will hear someone pick up), then you quickly hit 1 and flash and you switch over to cell. So a minor irritation for someone already talking on land line.
Our answering machine, which is a separate device, is plugged in ahead of xlink in the chain and will pick up for landline and has no confusion with cell - cell calls go to cell voice mail if not picked up.
When you are receiving a call, you can tell what line it's coming in on. My cordless system doesn't support separate ring tones (and the instructions warn many won't), but if the cell is in hearing distance you will hear it ring too. Also, the xlink passes through caller id to the handset and if it's coming in via cell it displays the incoming number plus "xlink". If via land line, just the incoming number.
If you are on cell via xlink and a landline call comes in, other phones in the house will ring that aren't connected to xlink. You could pick up via call waiting, allow the answering machine to get it or someone on a random phone not plugged to xlink could pick it up normally too.

Bringrr Charge - NEVER FORGET YOUR PHONE AGAIN with this Smart Car Charger with built-in Bluetooth-based reminder feature. Works with any USB-chargeable phone. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I saw a blurb in Popular Science magazine about the Bringrr and the timing couldn't have been better. Just a few weeks before reading the article, I had gone on a 3-day business trip in my company car, leaving my phone on my desk. I had driven almost 100 miles before I figured out I didn't have it with me. (I know, most people can't believe you could go that long without using a cell phone, but I often do). That's why it took me so long to realize I didn't have it with me. I had to be at my destination on time, so there was no way I could turn around and go back for it.
When I saw the PopSci article, I ordered one immediately. Unfortunately, the unit with the USB charging port was on back order. I got an email from James Logan at the company, telling me that there was a problem and the approximate time they would be shipping mine to me (about 6 weeks). When I got the unit and tried to pair it to my phone, I found the instruction manual to be a little bit hard to understand. Also, even though the Bringrr and its packaging looked very professional, I thought the instruction manual looked like it was an afterthought. In the end, I got it to work with little trouble. It probably only took me 15 minutes.
I had a Windows Mobile HTC Touch Diamond phone, at that time. It paired-up without a problem. However, while driving sometimes, and it didn't matter if I was on the phone or not, I would get the alarm signal that the Bringrr couldn't find my phone. A few seconds later, they would pair-up once more, and I didn't have to do anything to make that happen. This happened almost daily and was a minor annoyance for me but other people might have been bothered quite a bit by it. In early December, James Logan sent me an email, thanking me for being one of the first people to buy a Bringrr unit, and asking me if I would give him some feedback. I answered his questions and then mentioned the problem I was having with the phone and Bringrr becoming "unpaired". I offered that it might be my phone and not the Bringrr, but the only way to test that hypothesis was to try a different Bringrr unit. James agreed and immediately shipped me a brand new, still-in-the-box, unit. Before I could pair the new device, my company gave me a different phone (a Blackberry Bold)to use. To test if it was the phone instead of the Bringrr, I left the new unit in its box and paired the old unit with my new phone. I tested the new phone/old Bringrr unit locally and during a 700 mile vacation trip over Christmas. It worked fine, proving it was my HTC phone, not the Bringrr. I told Jim Logan about this and he told me just to keep the new Bringrr and give it to someone else who might have problems remembering his/her phone.
To sum it all up:
- I like the unit and would recommend it without hesitation
- I was very pleasantly surprised by the level of customer service exhibited by James Logan, on behalf of his young company
- I would recommend holding onto the original packaging and receipt, in case your phone won't connect well with the Bringrr
- I would suggest that the Bringrr people do a professional rewrite of their instruction sheet, to make it look nicer and to "dumb it down" for people like me (i.e. old)
- I think the Bringrr is a great value for the money

Cobra PhoneLynx Bluetooth Cell to Home Phone Connection System (BT 215) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What does this device do? It allows you to connect ordinary home phones (corded or cordless) thru bluetooth wireless technology to share your cellular phone service (same number for all phones).
I will try to make it simple for everyone.
I just got mine hooked up and love it! So I am excited to sing its praises. This device is more for a single person or a couple (living alone) who each have cell phone service. So instead of having 2 cell numbers and a third home number (landline) what this device does is it syncs both cell phone numbers to any ordinary home phone or phones (not phone service). I use a 3 handset phone system plugged into this device. So now, when I return home, I place my cell phone on the shelf by the door in its charger and I can roam around my house and not be worried that I will miss a cell phone call either because I can't hear the cell phone ring or because I can't find where I left it in time.
When a cell phone call is received by this device it shares that with the home phones, so all 4 now ring! And I can answer the call from any one of the home phone handsets around the house including my cell phone.
The best part of this device, is now I can also lift any of the home phones (handsets) and hear a regular dialtone (the BT215 generates this) and place a call going thru my cellular service. I don't worry about using up my cell minutes because with MetroPCS I now have unlimited anytime minutes for $50 a month.
Naturally when I leave home with my cell phone (good idea to have it charging near the door) the home phones will no longer ring or have outgoing service. Well, unless the BT215 is synced up with another persons cellular service also. It allows for two simultaneous bluetooth connections, if needed. Almost all modern cell phones have this bluetooth ability. That way the person who is left at home will still be able to receive and make calls on the home phones using their cellular service.
It is really very ingenious!
I had dropped my home phone service years ago, and kept missing calls because I would forget my cell phone on vibrate or just not hear it ring from the other room. Finally with this gadget, I can say for sure, I will no longer have that problem.
Another added benefit for me is if a guest picks up a phone, now they get a dial tone and can make a call without me having to explain that I have no home service. There is no longer a need for me to hand them my personal cell phone. Using this device makes it just as good as having a landline in my situation.
It isn't for everyone, especially big families but few products ever are.
This Cobra PhoneLynx device is perfect for those individuals wanting the convenience of using regular phones about the house but also having them share a single number with your cell phone. And only receive one bill each month as an added benefit. It simplifies things tremendously for me, I've been waiting for them to design this exact product ever since I dropped my home phone service years ago.
I give this product, my favorite gadget of the year award!
Now if you still want to maintain a landline also, they do make cordless phone systems now with bluetooth integration that allow you to also answer your cellular calls from these home phone systems BUT buying such a system would have been wasteful for me since I already owned a cordless home phone system and I didn't need the extra digital voice message recorder which those units provide since I get free voice mail service included with my cell phone service.
So this very affordable device does everything I was hoping for, and more! It has something called "clear call" technology which filters out static from the phone conversation so it makes talking even more enjoyable. Increased call quality was an unexpected extra from this product! Bravo Cobra!
I am very impressed by what you have created here, Thank You so much!
