Let me start off by saying that I’m not exactly the most tech-savvy person on the planet. I mean, my 60-year-old mother had an iPod before I even knew what an MP3 player was. So it’s not very surprising that I’m a latecomer to the whole wireless movement as well.
In fact, it wasn’t so long ago that a couple of friends convinced me to spend a bit more money for a [tag]Bluetooth enabled cell phone[/tag] instead of the generic model that I wanted to get.
At the time, I had no clue as to why [tag]Bluetooth enabled[/tag] cell phones were so special, nor did I have any idea why I would need one. But my friends (and a very friendly salesclerk at the mall) took the time to explain what I would be missing out on.
I discovered that Bluetooth phones have numerous features that would allow me to do a variety of things that I wouldn’t be able to do with a standard mobile device. For example, with a Bluetooth cell phone, I would be able to wirelessly transfer things like e-mails, contact information, and other basic content to someone using a similar device. I may not know much about technology, but I know convenience when I hear it!
At that point, these Blue tooth phones were sounding better and better to me. And then, after I bought mine I found that I could have gotten the Motorola Razr free…
I learned that with a Bluetooth cell phone, and a special car kit, I would be able to make and receive hands-free, wireless calls while driving. This would of course be a lot safer than using a standard mobile phone that I have to handle manually.
There are even cars that already come with the equipment necessary to accommodate Bluetooth enabled cell phones, such as the Acura TL or BMW. From what I hear, more automakers are going to be following that trend in the next few years.
Heck, given the news stories about cell phone related accidents it may even be required.
Because of these neat features, it may sound as though Bluetooth enabled cell phones are significantly more expensive than standard devices. However, that’s not the case at all. While it’s true that I did see a couple of very high-end devices that came with jaw-dropping price tags, most of the Bluetooth enabled cell phones I checked out were very affordable. And what’s more affordable than free?
Plus, they came from well-known manufacturers like Sony, Nokia, and Motorola, so I knew I would be getting a quality product.
If you’re ready to embrace technology, I recommend picking up a Bluetooth enabled cell phone. The combination of exciting features, ease of use, and low cost will leave you wondering why you waited so long to convert!
