Save valuable desktop space with the IBM ultracompact cordless phone. It combines 900 MHz technology, hands-free operation, and many popular features-- all in one compact design. The handset measures only 4 by 2.25 by 1 inches.To set up the phone, we installed the batteries, plugged in the AC power, and connected the phone to the phone jack. The handset is about the size of a pager and includes a detachable belt clip for easy transport. The base is almost as small, making it great for desks with limited space. The LCD shows the time and the number you are dialing. Icons on the LCD indicate the status for functions such as the alarm, pager, battery, and signal strength. The handset can be positioned faceup on the base for convenient LCD viewing.
A single function button operates many features, such as time set, memory dialing, and ringer adjust. Up to 10 numbers can be stored in memory. Press the function button until the memory icon appears in the LCD window. Choose a number between 0 and 10, dial the number you wish to store, and press the function button again to save. To dial a saved number, press the function button and then the designated memory number.
We found the alarm function to be a unique and useful feature. To set the alarm, press the function button and then the 2 button. Enter the time you want the alarm to sound and then press the function button to save. To turn the alarm on, press the function button and then the 3 button. The alarm icon will appear in the LCD and a beep confirms the alarm has been activated. Following these same steps will also turn the alarm off.
In our tests of the IBM ultracompact phone, we were able to use the handset up to 200 feet from the base. Between 200 and 500 feet, static became disruptive, but we were still able to maintain a conversation without losing transmission. For hands-free calling, a headset is included. Voice quality on the headset was clear and sensitive, picking up sounds such as breathing, which we found slightly annoying. Although the fit of the headset is somewhat limited, its cushioned earpad and adjustable microphone are comfortable. --Emily Bakko

Amazon.com Review
Unlike other headset phones that tether users to the base unit, the IBM 900 MHz cordless phone uses a cordless headset to provide true freedom of movement. Plus, it offers 900 MHz analog operation, a base-unit speakerphone, and full dialing pads on the base and headset.The powered base unit has some interesting, computer-friendly features. Speaker and microphone jacks on the back let you connect the phone to your PC's sound card so you can use the phone for Internet calls. Selecting regular phone operation or computer mode is as simple as flipping a switch on the front of the base unit.
Unfortunately, the headset is a little bulky, and the one-size-fits-all design doesn't work as well as it could. The headset is relatively large, with a small battery pack on one side and what amounts to a full-sized phone keypad on the other side. The keypad is convenient because it let us dial numbers when we were away from the base unit, but it looks ridiculous sitting on a person's head.
We could live with the bad looks if the voice quality was good, but unfortunately, we could hear an echo of ourselves talking through the speaker. And the unit handled plosives (percussive vocal elements like the p in probably) terribly, amplifying them and echoing them through the ear piece. Callers at the other end of the line came through clearly though, and we really liked the volume dial in the headset that allowed for easy adjustments. This cordless phone might be a decent choice for people planning to make a lot of Internet calls, but for standard use, the echo effect is a real turnoff. The IBM 900 MHz cordless headset phone does a lot of things right, but there are too many compromises in the design for us to give an unconditional recommendation. --T. Byrl Baker

ASIN: B0007RPW2C |
Product Description
The eXplorist 500 North America Handheld GPS is your all-purpose guide to the wild, untamed natural wonder on the North American continent. Its 8 MB of built-in maps and an intuitive interface make it easy to start navigating right out of the box. Save 5 track log files, 20 routes and 500 points of interest to the 8 MB of additional internal memory - or store as many more as you want on optional SD cards. The color backlit LCD screen makes it easy to navigate, even in the dead of night. Geocache, TrueFix and Area/perimeter calculations help you find your way anywhere on the continent. Ready to go with no service or activation fees Unlimited SD Card expandability - add detailed street maps or topo charts with the optional Magellan MapSend software TrueFix GPS technology uses 14 parallel channels Download Geocache coordinates from Websites and manage travelling more effectively Area & perimeter calculation for the distance between two waypoints Monitor satellite status while tracking your position Rubber armored, impact resistant plastic for safe carrying on every adventure Watertight - sealed to IPX-7 specificationsAmazon.com Product Description
Outfitted with a 16-color display, a high-speed USB data port, 8 MB of built-in maps, and an additional 8 MB of usable memory, the Magellan eXplorist 500 North America includes all the tools you need to navigate throughout the U.S. and Canada whether in the car or on foot. The device is rugged and lightweight, with a waterproof, impact-resistant plastic housing that stands up to almost every adventure, including whitewater rafting and hiking. At the same time, its pocket-sized chassis, which measures a mere 2.2 by 4.7 by 1.3 inches (W x H x D), is loaded with convenient features, such as detailed, built-in maps of North American roads, parks, waterways, and airports; the ability to save five track log files, 20 routes, and 500 points of interest; and an area calculator that determines the distance between saved points of interest--an ideal function when mapping out hiking trails. Other cool and convenient add-ons include a fish/hunt function that mentions the best fishing and hunting times for a specific coordinate and a similar tool that displays the rising and setting times for the sun and moon.Should the built-in maps and extra memory prove insufficient, users can load additional map data onto Secure Digital (SD) memory cards using Magellan's MapSend software (sold separately), which is available via CD-ROM and, in some cases, online (your computer connects to the GPS through its USB port). There's no limit to the number of cards you can use, giving users access to everything from detailed street maps to topographical layouts to lake charts showing bottom features and boat ramps. Fun seekers will also delight in the Geocache Manager, which invites individuals and families to download geocache coordinates from specific Internet sites and use them on such adventures as treasure hunts and coordinated community projects. The manager employs a PC-style file system to keep geocache navigation easy.
Adding to the simplicity are the intuitive keypad and joystick controls, along with the one-button access for particularly important features. Unlike with many GPS systems, it doesn't take an expert to start navigating right away. The full-color display also helps first-time users, as it's easier to differentiate between different map features and data.
Additional features include multilingual communication (choose from English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Portuguese, Dutch, or Norwegian); four navigation screens for viewing speed, direction, distance to destination, and more; and a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack that keeps the eXplorist 500 working for up to 17 hours. Conveniently, users needn't remove the battery to charge it; simply plug the charger directly into the receiver and it renews itself.
