Phone-Accessories Reviews

This battery DOES NOT WORK with my Motorola digital StarTac wireless telephone (ST7760). The manufacturer (iGo Corporation) says that even though its batteries are made to Motorola's specifications, they do not always work with the intended phone. He suggested I purchase a Motorola battery for my Motorola phone.

Two years ago for my birthday, my mom got the brilliant idea that the perfect gift for me would be a pager. I'm not a doctor. (...) I'm not even a teenager who just wants to be cool. What would ever possess her to buy me a pager? But on my birthday, there it was...the Motorola LS550 Pager.

Design
This pager is standard size in my opinion. Not too big, but not too small. The screen is located on the top and displays the time and date. A clip is on the backside so you can attach the pager to your belt or pocket. The right side has rubber gripping so you can grasp the pager easily. The front of the pager has 3 buttons- one is plain, one has a dot, and one has a check.

The plain button is the way you view the numbers and scroll through the pagers received. The checked button is pushed to select a specific page or an option on the menu. The dotted button is the way to access the option or return to the main menu screen. Getting the hang of which button to push was a little tricky at first.

The Motorola LS550 Pager comes in 4 dazzling color choices. You can choose black, red, blue, or teal.

Features
The Motorola LS550 Pager can hold 40 pages. The time the page was received is also recorded. Unfortunately, the date is not recorded which is not a big deal, but would have been a nice feature.

Alerts: vibrate or a choice of 5 audio alerts.

Alarm: You can set an alarm to go off as you need it. You can set the alarm to go off daily, or weekly, or just the one time. This is a nice option. It can help you remember to daily take your medication, or remind you of a weekly appointment.

Private Time: I used this feature a lot! It allows you to receive pages, but will not alert you when one is received. It will not vibrate or beep. On the screen, there is a small Motorola symbol that flashes when a page is received. During Private Time, only the symbol flashes without the sounds or vibration. I set my pager to this setting when I was in class or church. I could check to see if the Motorola symbol was flashing and then return the call or check my voice mail at my convenience. This was my favorite feature because even on vibrate it would buzz or rattle against stuff if I had it tucked in my purse or backpack.

Delete Messages: You can choose to delete pages one at a time or clear the memory all at once.

Pager Off: If you wish, you can turn your entire pager off. You will not be able to receive any pages.

I actually ended up liking this pager a lot even though. I started out thinking it was a stupid idea. I commuted 45 miles to college every day and I liked that people could leave me messages while I was at school.

This pager was a little complicated to use when I first got it. I was able to get the hang of it after a little practice. Everything was simple and straight forward. There are no thrills or extras. It's a basic pager that does everything I needed it to do.

I liked the size of the buttons and the screen. I have seen other pagers where the buttons were so small, I had to use my fingernail to push them. The Motorola LS550 is easy to use. A man or someone with larger hands should not have a problem.

This pager uses 1 AAA battery. I go through one battery every 2-3 months so it does last quite a long time. Replacement is easy and the pager holds the memory while you change the battery.

Overall, I think this is a great pager. It met all of the needs I didn't even know I had. I have no complaints. Whether you have a high demand job or just want another way for people to be able to reach you, check out the Motorola LS550 Pager.

The Startech Heavy Duty Pentium Cooler Fan has very strong, masculine appearance. When you actually get it you realize the fan is of the cheapest quality and very lightweight. Installation was easy enough but that is where the joy ended. The unit buzzed loudly and would attempt to spin at about 2 revolutions per minute. It wasn't going spin fast enough to cool anything, and even if it had a great CFM flow rate it was so noisy it would be intolerable. I returned it to Amazon as I am assuming my fan was defective.

I purchased this fan several weeks ago... and the fan has performed perfectly ever since.... great value for the price!

they lasted a mere 2 weeks before snapping. not durable.

These headphones are excellent. The sound quality is unmarred, not tinny - however I'm not an audiophile so I can't say anything about bass (the bass seems fine for me). They're lightweight so they don't feel heavy on your head, they clamp well, and they're inexpensive. Well worth the money. The only thing I could say in favor of not getting these is if you have a high probability of them being broken (taken by children, siblings, etc). Then you might want to invest into a pair of headphones in a heavier-duty class than these.

if you are looking for chatting on ICQ it is good one but has some limitations

I would recommend this gadget for the price.It is light and fits well on the head.The cord is long allows one a considerable range of movement.However,the sound quality has room for improvement.On the whole I would buy it...Gives a great value for the price.

The foam pads are relatively comfortable and the behind the ear design works well enough, but prominent distortion even at low volumes makes these largely unsuitable for music listening. They're good enough for PC gaming, but not much more. I'm not an audiophile with exacting standards, but I'm still searching for a moderately priced headset microphone with acceptable sound.

These headphone's are comfortable, but the cable is too short. It barely reaches my computer on the desk in front of me.

I bought the lithium-ion battery to replace my N-Mh one that after a year and a half would no longer hold a charge. I am an engineering technician and know a bit about electronics and was glad to get a lithium-ion battery.

I have had my energizer battery for eight months now. It is okay. I would buy it above other types of batteries (not name brands of batteries), but only for this phone.

When this battery if fully charged, it gives me only an hour and a half of talk-time. When I don't talk on it, the charge lasts for four or five days. Because I do use my phone, whenever I am home, I always have to plug it in and leave it charging.

Before with my N-Mh battery, when the battery was too low, it would discharge the battery (a lengthy process), but I could stop that and get an extra five minutes out(to say good-bye). With this battery, the phone just turns off and that is that.

My brother just bought a cell-phone. His came with a lithium-ion battery. It is half the size of mine and has a talk-time of four hours. He has a Nokia 81xx.

I don't think Energizer made his battery and I wish they had made mine with a little more life.

The case is made of good leather & put together well, but the inside lining was glued on for some reason before sewn together, so the glue rubs off on the phone. Over time, this won't be a problem. The velco cover is strong enough to prevent accidental openings, but the trade off is that it makes the case a little bulky. Lastly the belt clip is insufficient, should've used a belt loop instead. The case came off my belt 3 times already by accident. Luckily the case protected the phone from damage.

These earbuds are okay if you need something cheap (like if your old headphones broke during a trip and you went to a convenience store to get a temporary pair), but try out a more expensive pair for around 20 bucks.
The pads fall of the earbud part very easily and are hard to find and put back on. The sound isn't that good, but it'ss not horrible.
I had some trouble trying to get the buds into my ears, but with the pads on, they didn't fall out.
