Great Motorola Buy!
IMfree Wireless
Instant Messenger
IMfree lets instant messengers roam almost anywhere around the house —
up to 150 feet from an Internet-connected PC and base station — so your
teens can chat with up to six buddies at a time from the comfort of... wherever.
Best of all, with the home computer in less demand, other family members can
get their work done at the same time.
Parental controls enable you to determine when the IMfree device can be used and which chat invitations can be accepted. Big families can support up to seven
handsets with one base station. There are no wires to string, and no additional monthly fees because it works with a free AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account — you don't even have to be an AOL subscriber. Getting started is easy,
too, because it uses current AIM Buddy Lists.
With IMfree, the family computer is available for the family once again. And the kids don't have to miss a single LOL or OMG moment.
Don't Miss A Single LOL or OMG Moment!
With IMfree, the family computer is available for the family once again. And the kids don't have to miss a single LOL or OMG moment.

I ordered this product, and I started making all my friends envious. It has amazing range, and it's battery life is two hours, long enough for me. And, as a tip, if you use smarterchild on AIM, you can use this as a wireless organizer around the house.

I purchased one of these for an XMas gift last year for my son, so his friends would use it instead of one of our PCs for AIM and so my son could be other places in the house and use AIM, since he and his friends use it a lot to communicate. I gave it a 5 rating because it does everything it says it will. We knew it didn't have all the bells and whistles others complain about when we bought it. For the price (Free), everyone should buy one and give it a 5.

Its great for those days you dont feel like leaving the couch, but it lacks a colored interface.
What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
