Switch on a button to get your keyboard on a flat surface and start typing. Amazing isn’t it? This is what the Celluon Laserkey CL800BT does.

It is a Bluetooth enabled device and it projects a virtual laser keyboard on a flat surface. Setting it up needs some experience in handling your PDA and this device with ease. This device is not for all. With a dimension of 2 x 1.3 x 3.6 inches it easy to carry. The price is somewhat on the higher end and this might be a deciding factor to purchase this virtual bluetooth enabled laser keyboard.

Before you buy this Laser keyboard, you have to find out whether this virtual laser keyboard is compatible with your PDA. Not all PDAs can work with this keyboard. An AC adapter, a CD with necessary drivers and utilities, and a guide comes along with this product. However you might be required to visit the company’s website for the latest drivers if any.

I don’t need those flashy features like camera etc” – If you are one among the people who think so, then you can very well opt for the $45 Motorola V180 (unlocked). It fulfills the primary purpose for the money you spend on it. Check out websites like eBay.com and you might end up purchasing it around $30.     

The Motorola V180 comes with black color and silver trim and you feel that it is truly portable with the compact size of the phone. This model of Motorola is foldable type and you can see the time, the battery life, and the caller ID when it is closed. It supports 65000 colors and you can’t expect it to be vibrant like the high end models. The texts are small in the phone and you have to have sharp eyesight to view it. The downside is that you can’t change the size of the text.

The Motorola V180 comes with a memory that can hold up to 500 contacts in the phone book. I think that is sufficient for most of us, unless you are a marketing professional and using this phone for official purpose too! SMS, MMS, and Voice dialing are also there. (I don’t know how many of you are using Voice Dialing in your mobile.)

In short, we can say that you get your money’s (you are definitely not spending much on this device) worth!
