Sony Ericsson HBH-PV712 Bluetooth Headset for Women

Sony Ericsson has unveiled a stylish Bluetooth Headset, named the HBH-PV712 the Style Edition. Designed especially for women, this comfortable earpiece comes with an easy-to-use function. It’s an HBH-PV712 Bluetooth headset.

Only to make women like it more, Sony Ericsson has called this one the HBH-PV712 “Style Edition” because women are into fashion these days. According to the company, “throughout the design process, women have been thought about, from the considerable amount of talk-time available and the user-friendly technology, to the comfortable.

It is coming with three covers that can be removed from the headset in one step so that you can quickly change the cover to fit your mood and outfit. Designs include red with silver detail; black with silver, purple and red detail; and purple plated. (more…)

The Motorola V150 is a sort of antidote to the feature packed handsets that are coming out at the moment, in that it’s a simple, elegant phone that still has enough features to go around. The V150 is competing in a difficult part of the market, up against other phones that are typically given away free with even the most basic contracts.

The first thing to notice is that it’s a continuation of the classic clamshell design, and common styling cues can be seen that date all the way back to the original small clamshell, the Motorola StarTac.

At 83.5 x 42 x 26.5mm and 75 grams, the V150 is very compact and lightweight - smaller than most other clamshell phones. The internal display is just 96x65 pixels in 4,000 colours which makes it smaller than most colour phones, typically now 128x128 pixels in 65,000 colours.

It’s only a dual-band GSM 900/1800 phone, and not tri- or quad-band. However, it does come with WAP, GPRS, and USB connectivity, plus polyphonic ringtones, three games, predictive text and vibrating alert, so in our view it keeps the most useful features in a phone and gets rid of those things that are less used.

On most networks, talktime should be over four hours with about 12 days standby time, which is pretty good for a phone this small.

During CeBit 2003, Sony Ericsson’s stand shown a circuit where one could control some small cars from T68i phones through Bluetooth. The demonstration was so successful that Sony Ericsson has decided to launch it to the market, for the joy of kids and the grown-ups.
