This is a great product for people who take a lot of photos! The idea is that you take photos then upload then via Bluetooth on to the image viewer before putting them on to a TV or video projector etc… The Bluetooth connection is the brilliant part of this, it means there are no cables and it’s a very neat and tidy device. You use an RCA cord to connect it to a TV or however else you want to output it. It has all the usual presentation settings like buttons to change picture or do it automatically every 4 or 8 seconds. You can also rotate images.

The image viewer is powered either by 4 AAA batteries or a Nokia charger and is compatible with PAL or NTSC; therefore, it can be used all over the world. One of the only downsides is its small memory size. It has a 3MB capacity which is about 65 SMALL pictures. These days with multi mega-pixel cameras photos are much larger so make sure you reduce the sizes before transferring otherwise you will only fit about 10 on it! It is compatible with the Nokia 3650 and 7650 as well as other phones supporting Bluetooth 1.1.

This is another great SIM product that has come on the market. Rather than it being a dual SIM reader and enabling 2 SIM cards to work in one phone, this enables you to read the data off your SIM and put it on to your PC. All you do is put your SIM card into it and then insert it into one of your USB ports, then you can download all of your contacts in a matter of seconds. If you need to put a lot of contacts on to your phone then I would recommend using this; you put them on to your computer when you can create, delete or edit entry’s using your computer keyboard rather than the phone one so it is much quicker. You can store up to 1,000 contacts from your SIM on to your PC.

It works very well and is easy to use, the only downside is that is only has a flash memory size of 512KB (as stated above this is still 1,000 contacts but it still could be much bigger). It is the kind of gadget you may only use once or twice but for the $12-$15 price, it is definitely worth it if you have many contacts to add or edit.
