1. Nokia 7600 (2003)
Not to pick on Nokia again, but … this phone was huge, awkward to hold, and the new button layout made texting difficult even though the design was clearly aimed at a younger crowd. The Nokia 7600 takes the cake for worst cell phone design.

Wacky Wireless News: Police Officer or Panhandler?
This police tactic drew criticism for being sneaky, but the ruse will likely continue if it reduces distracted driving. Law enforcement will keep hammering away at offenders in hopes of lowering the hefty death toll from careless texting and chatting behind the wheel.

Plantronics Marque M155 Review: Bluetooth Wireless Headset
In order to provide better product recommendations for our customers, the CAFL Web Team is now providing detailed product reviews of Bluetooth headsets to help you choose the best model for your unique needs.
Turning on the Plantronics Marque M155 initiates the voice-guided set-up system. Pairing the headset with a phone was easy. We just had to the tap the Call button on the headset when prompted. Re-pairing the phone was just as simple. To un-pair the headset from the original phone, we just held the Call button until an LED light on the back of the headset appeared. This light also indicated that the headset was charging. Re-pairing was done entirely on the re-paired phone. There are only three buttons users need to know on the headset: the Call button, which looks just like an iPhone Home button, the power switch – green for on, red for off – and the volume button. To answer or ignore calls, users don’t even have to use the buttons, as the headset recognizes “Answer” or “Ignore” voice commands.
When testing the sound quality indoors, our voices were crisp and clear, and we could easily hear the person on the other end. When outside on a busy street however, callers said background noise from traffic made it difficult to hear us. We could hear the person on the other end when we turned up the M155’s volume.
Because the Marque M155 lacks great noise cancellation, it’s not meant for use in noisy situations. However, for the price, features, design, and high level of comfort, we would recommend the Plantronics Marque M155 for indoor use or use in relatively quiet settings, like in a home, office or on the road. Heavy Bluetooth headset users will be able to use the Plantronics Marque M155 all day in the office and won’t have to break from typing or data entry to answer or ignore any calls.
