The stylus is great for jotting down notes…which can be transcripted into typed notes for you! \u00a0Woohoo! \u00a0A great time saver and way to keep organized. \u00a0The S-Voice feature works great allowing for you to ask for Facebook or Foursquare, Trip-It, you name it… to be opened. \u00a0Or ask S-Voice to call someone for you, give you directions to a restaurant, whatever you need. \u00a0It has the best voice recognition we’ve seen. \u00a0This phone is packed with possibilities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Eye-Fi<\/p>\n

The Eye-Fi Mobi SD Card<\/a> inserts into your digital camera, creating a personal “<\/wbr>WiFi” connection so you can transfer pictures from camera to your phone, almost immediately. \u00a0So, there’s no need to go out and buy a camera that is WiFi enabled, you can use the one you already have, as long as it has a SDHC card slot, which many do. \u00a0And the beauty is, you don’t need to be connected to WiFi to share the pictures between your camera and phone. \u00a0The Eye-Fi card creates its own connection -so you can easily transfer pictures and videos even out in the forest…or at a concert…wherever.<\/p>\n

The Eye-Fi SD card transfers a lighter copy of \u00a0your camera’s pictures and videos to your phone, so you can share them easily with through email, text, Facebook, Instragram, and more. \u00a0No longer do you have to wait until you get home and download your photos to share a moment. \u00a0The Eye-Fi Mobi is available in 16GB, 32 GB, and 64GB sizes.<\/p>\n

ChargerLeash<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ChargerLeash\u00a0<\/a>is a must-have accessory for your phone, especially if you travel a lot or charge your phone in public places or at friends houses. \u00a0Available for iPhones, iPod Touches, iPads, Android phones and tablets, ChargerLeash contains a built-in alarm that rings whenever you disconnect your phone from the charger. \u00a0This alarm reminds you to grab the charger as well. \u00a0Chargers are the number one item left behind in hotel rooms and are often forgotten in other places once a person unplugs their phone and begins checking messages.<\/p>\n

ChargerLeash comes with a free downloadable app so you can set a boundary around your home. \u00a0IF you are within this boundary, the alarm will not ring, as you will be using the charger very often and hearing an alarm every time would be annoying. \u00a0Another benefit of the ChargerLeash is that if you are charging your phone in public and someone disconnects your phone when you’re not looking, the alarm will ring, alarming you and others nearby. \u00a0A simple little accessory that could save you time and money.<\/p>\n
