Bluetooth-enabled phones and headsets give you the freedom to talk wirelessly. Because Bluetooth has a range of about 30 feet and the signal can travel through clothing, it's the perfect solution to hands-free conversations. Keep your phone in your pocket and your headset clipped to your ear, and you're free to walk and talk without worrying about getting tangled up in cords or not having enough hands to hold all your stuff. Even cooler, combine a Bluetooth-enabled car with your Bluetooth phone, and you have true hands-free calling while driving. The phone's audio signal is routed through your car's stereo system, letting you pick up, hang up, or dial verbally, without having to touch your phone.

Review summary	It's a startling combination of image capture, music playback, and communications capabilities in a clever but bulky Transformers-like package. However, at more than $900 for an unlocked model, the Nokia N90 is not for the faint of wallet.	Sony Ericsson's stylish, compact K750i takes crystal-clear photos, packs plenty of multimedia options, and tops it all off with fully enabled Bluetooth.	The original thin phone, the Motorola Razr V3 has a sexy design and useful features, but its performance isn't always up to par.	Though it looks like few other Bluetooth headsets, the Bluespoon AX is a solid performer.	Jabra's FreeSpeak BT250 offers an impressive mix of comfort, ease of use, and performance.
