Dont ask how we got these at this price, but its well below the wholesale price. They normally go for $299.
Get it while we still have stock at this price, the manufacturer in Sydney is not happy with me doing this.

Thanks for the link but nowhere does it say they actually manufacture the device in AU.
just a speil about how great they apparently are.
More than likely manufactured in China and redistributed here by Bluesim.
maybe OP can help here since that is one of his claims.
How did you get these at this price?
avoid radiation?
does it come with a free faraday cage?
Or maybe it means it comes with 47% less radiation.
The radiation claim seems to be on the basis that it is a Bluetooth extension for your mobile phone, meaning that you don't hold the mobile handset to your ear when making a call.
If you're already using your mobile enough to warrant something like this, you likely already have a Bluetooth or corded headset. I really don't see there being a big market for something like this.
I agree. I hate using my mobile for long calls when i'm in the office, but the same thing can be achieved with a cordless Bluetooth headset, which has the added advantage of being hands free. It's no inconvenience to dial the number from the mobile handset.
Very good quality headsets can be had for well under $160. My current plantronics pulsar 590 cost $30 on eBay, new. Sound quality is excellent.
That being said bluetooth operates at ~2.4GHz, if you think about a microwave that you heat food in they operate at 2.6GHz - the frequency that vibrates water molecules best.
Bluetooth runs very low power levels compared to your mobile phone.
Mobiles also can work between 800MHz and 2100MHz as well depending on the type.Not true, microwave ovens do not operate at 2.6GHz.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven#PrinciplesBluetooth, wifi and your microwave oven all run on the same 2.4GHz frequency band, and will readily interfere with each other.
The reason wifi and bluetooth (and a number of cordless phones) use the 2.4GHz band is BECAUSE of the interference from microwave ovens. The Gov't won't sell a frequency to a commercial user if there is likely to be interference, so the 2.4GHz was declared "license free" as long as you don't exceed a certain power level. The free license is why wifi and bluetooth use that frequency, and also because it's a license-free band over the entire world (because all microwave ovens use the same frequency).
There is a third reason why 2.4GHz was chose for wifi and bluetooth - radiation at that frequency is absorbed by moisture in the atmosphere (just like the water in food in the microwave oven), so it is inherently range-limited. Otherwise you'd be able to see wifi networks miles away, and the interference would be horrendous.
Less radiation than what? What kind of radiation? Has the radiation to which the company is referring been proven harmful? Do desktop phones really emit loads of bad radiation (given that this appears to be a desktop mounted phone)?
Let's hear some science that makes sense, rather than believing that this deal offers anything other than a desktop phone to receive other calls on.
By the way, tonsta, has that claim of reduced radiation been verified? Because it sounds like you're suggesting a therapeutic benefit, and that would be bad were such a benefit unproven.
Consider GSM is about up to 2 watts, and this phone is connecting via blue tooth to the mobile. Add to this that blue tooth is about 0.001 watt, and that you will be a good distance away from this as well while using the desktop handset on a cord.
Taken from the description;
"Reduced Radiation - Users will not be exposed to the radiation emitted by mobiles phones, effects of radiation to mobile users is still unknown. BlueSIM Desktop Bluetooth Phone reduces user exposed to this."I agree with chyawala.
GSM (2G) has a transmit power of up to two watts, and 3G mobiles up to one watt.
Bluetooth for headsets is either 1 milliwatt (class 3) or 2.5 milliwatts (class 2). So the radiated power is about 1000 times smaller than when holding a mobile phone to your head.
However, don't believe the scare campaign about mobile phone radiation without being skeptical. The news a few months ago, from the World Health Organisation, classifies mobile phone radiation as "maybe causes cancer, but nobody has been able to prove it". Talcum powder is in the same category.
Thousands of researchers have tried to find a link between mobile phone use and cancer, it's a hugely researched subject, and there are hundreds of millions (perhaps billions) of mobile phone users. If mobile phone use caused cancer, you'd think a lot of the researchers would have been able to find a statistically-significant link, wouldn't you?
Bluetooth for headsets is either 1 milliwatt (class 3) or 2.5 milliwatts (class 2).
And yet I know a guy with an engineering degree who is nervous about bluetooth, and cordless phones.
What hope is there for the masses?
Has anyone got experience with the Xlink BT which effectively provides a gateway between your mobile(s) and your existing "landline" corded or cordless phones?
Neat idea I rekkon. Probably better off with one that gives u an aussie dialtone tho, such as the uniden one mentioned here:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1611050What happens when there 3 phones in range and 2 of them ring while the main phone is busy?
stolen goods?
What do you mean by "the manufacturer in Sydney is not happy with me doing this"?
Less radiation? Maybe less electromagnetic radiation. but it looks like it emits more gravitons than a mobile phone.
Lol radiation, nice one.
Godzilla will not like this.
Hi Guys,
Just to clarify this is a clearance sale available on
https://www.thinkofus.com.au/dealoftheday.aspThese are not stolen goods. They are brand new in the box. The sale price is valid till end of day today.
lol @stolen goods even better.
Good price but not that big of a discount imo considering these are sold at $189 plus doesn't offer plenty of features considering the size. Surprised it retails for $200+.
Who is the manufacturer in Sydney?
