Bluetooth Bracelet Shows Caller ID & Vibrates, Deemed Most Fashionable Accessory At Oscars

Bluetooth Cell Phones — 24 February 2009

The title is a total ploy, let me just get that out of the way. Any celeb caught wearing this would probably be bludgeoned by their publicist. But, if you’ve ever called me, and I’m sure you haven’t, then you know I never pick up my phone while out and parading the streets of LA (no, not like that). Not because I don’t wanna chat it up, but because I never hear my iPhone ring, or feel it for that matter. Enter the Vibrating Bluetooth Caller ID Bracelet. It pretty much takes the wind right out of LG’s G910 Watch Phone and at a speck of the cost ($49). The LCD screen shows the caller’s number while vibrating, plus it’ll even let you answer or reject the call although it doesn’t features a microphone. As a bonus, the bracelet will vibrate if your phone is moved more than 5 meters from your proximity; however you might just assume that it’s a relentless caller. And it ain’t the worst looking cell phone accessory; sure beats those Bluetooth headsets.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

I would definitely buy this if it were also a watch. Pretty cool.

I own two of them, one paired BlackBerry Bold 9000 and one paired with my wife’s BlackBerry Tour 9630. They work great.

the only draw backs I can list to this device and it’s high school trend looking silicon banded unit, is that it’s Services/profile is Hands-Free unit / headset. which is a problem for those of us whom use more then one device that is hardwired to that profile, this device doesn’t seem to like to share connections even with >B bluetooth v.2.0 .

all-in-all this device is a great bit of tech, I look forward to seeing it’s next gen to have a wider
support base and a more robust features namely

1.adding in caller name’s along with they’re numbers, this current model only dose caller’s number.

2.changing the bluetooth profile or provide a way to change it’s pairing code. currently it’s 0000
*would more then likely fix the pairing of more then one like profiled devices*

3. as Jake said above me, Watch functions, a time display would round this device off nicely, the current “Connected” readout is always displayed but might turn the device off to some who don’t want the added hassle of having to answer the content questions of what that “connected” text is for, a simple blue light could be a nice way to go.
