Nokia BH-800 – Best headset ever
When it comes to Bluetooth headsets, Nokia isn’t the first name that springs up in my mind. This manufacturer is known more for its phones than their accessories. But the Finnish company recently came up with a couple of new Bluetooth headsets and Nokia BH-800 is one of them. It has a really cute design and is offered in two different color options – Silver White and Coffee Black. The price of this device is $180 but you can get it for about $110 if you know where to shop. Nokia BH-800 is really tiny and looks more like a candy piece.

Nokia data cable
Nokia data cable
Nokia data cables are used with unlocked phones for putting data in to the handset. There are two types of Nokia phones and there are different Nokia data cables for the two different types of phones. The Canada and US version of Nokia phones are also different from each other. Hence you need to check before purchasing a Nokia data cable for your phone. It is very hard to put data in to the phone without the data cables. The only other way is Bluetooth and it takes a lot of time for the data to get transferred. There are chances that the mobile phone may heat up quickly. Hence if you are the kind of guy who transfers a lot of content to and fro the mobile phone, get a Nokia data cable. Even if you lose one, don’t hesitate  [...]

Nokia LD-4W Bluetooth GPS device is just what the name says and nothing else. It is really easy to pair the Nokia LD-4W to Bluetooth compatible device along with navigation software like a cell phone. The process is almost automatic. Nokia LD-4W operates on SiRF Star III chipset and it is quite standard now a days. In my tests, I paired the LD-4W along with Nokia cell phone which was running on TomTom mobile version 6 and it took about 3 to 4 minutes for getting a GPS lock after I switched on the device. This too is standard. I really liked the design of the LD 4W. It is very slim and tiny so that you can easily  [...]

Nokia has got a few high end Bluetooth headsets like Nokia BH-801 before and this company has a lot of inexpensive basic models too. Nokia Bh-208 is an entry level device which is not as good as the Nokia BH-801 but has a good call quality and is easy to use too. At $69.95, it is pretty cheap and I would recommend you the BH-208 looking at decent features that it has to offer.

People who hate getting tangled in wires can get rid of those wired headsets. Nokia has joined the growing Bluetooth headsets bandwagon with Nokia BH-501.

Nokia BH-902 – with OLED display
Nokia BH-902 – with OLED display
There have been a lot of Bluetooth headsets in my labs having a tiny LED display and I don’t like them much. It is not convenient to look at the screen if you are wearing the headset. But the call quality of this device is really good. The screen shows you details like Caller ID and Recent Calls. If you are having a compatible Nokia phone, you will also get to see if there are any unread text messages. The sound quality is good, the headset is stylish and it is comfortable to wear too. The cost of this device is $169.99 which is a bit expensive.

Nokia BH-905 – Nice quality but a bit costly
Grooving to music wirelessly is a great idea but it often comes at a cost of poor audio quality. But there have been a few developments in technology and this problem has been solved to some extent. I have seen a few Bluetooth headsets give superb sound quality. Some of them are better than the wired ones. Nokia BH-905 is an excellent example of this, it comes with multimicrophone active noise cancellation feature. The audio quality is simply superb and I didn’t have any major problems with the call quality either. The set fits comfortably on your head and ears too and I must say that the Nokia BH-905 is the best Bluetooth headphone out there in the market right now. The good quality comes at a very high price though, this device will cost you $394. Nokia BH-905 is 7.09 inches long, 2.32  [...]
