all right guys so it's the weekend I'm at Richmond Center I've actually was
0:12
just playing some badminton so hence the Yonex shirt um and I met up with the
0:16
cameraman so that I could get some stuff from him and we figured what the hey
0:19
maybe we'll do a Saturday unboxing so this is the native Union moshim Moshi
0:26
m3i the curve this is a wireless Bluetooth Telephone iPhone it is
0:30
designed by David Turpin I have no idea who that is so what I want you guys to
0:34
do is leave a comment if you know who David Turpin is and tell me something
0:39
about him because I know nothing all right let's look at what Native Union
0:42
has to say about the mm o3i it includes
0:46
a handset weighted telephone base with universal dock to charge your phone so
0:49
it is a charger and it is a dock it is
0:52
improved oh it is not improved call Comfort but it improves call Comfort it
0:57
allows access to phone functions while you're making calls that's good okay the
1:00
Apple Universal doc charges your iPhone while in operation it's fitted with
1:03
Advanced Bluetooth 2.1 plus EDR chip to allow multi-point twin pairing connects
1:08
to two Bluetooth devices at the same time that's kind of cool if you got a couple different cell phones in the
1:11
house then you can actually connect to both of them I guess at the same time
1:15
neat noise reduction system Auto pick up and hang up auto connect and reconnect
1:19
super high gloss finish and a high quality speaker and microphone so what
1:22
exactly is this thing is what you might be asking yourself and I'm about to
1:26
answer what that is it is a Bluetooth
1:31
handset for your phone made for iPhone
1:36
but the only thing about it that's really made for iPhone is the uh the
1:40
dock for the charger I mean if you don't want to use the charger it's just a
1:44
Bluetooth it's just a Bluetooth handset so it's uh you know nothing really
1:49
iPhone specific about it in that respect so here I'm going to hand the box to
1:52
cameraman who's going to hand it to my wife whose car I am uh sitting on right
1:57
now in order to bring you this weekend unboxing
2:00
okay um here we go so it's got one of those
2:04
universal charger guys where all you do is you take the appropriate tip in this
2:08
case uh yeah we got all the different International ones oh please tell me we
2:13
have a North America one yeah there it is okay so you got the North America one
2:17
right there you throw that on all of a sudden you are ready to go you've got a
2:20
couple of adapters for different generations of iPhones to make sure that
2:24
they all fit in the charger just fine and last but not least there is a USB
2:30
cable presumably um for to power the
2:33
charger as well as to yeah presumably to
2:36
power the the iPhone charger actually what the heck would that be for cuz it
2:41
already has a wall wart okay well let's
2:44
just assume it's useful for something and leave it at that okay
2:49
so okay yes I will get to that I will get to that believe me I am not I'm not
2:53
going to pass up that opportunity okay so let's just take it
2:58
the thing is surprisingly heavy I mean they say it's a weighted base and I can
3:01
see the value of a weighted base because that way it's not going to fall very
3:06
easily I mean if it does fall it'll probably hurt your foot so be careful so
3:10
go ahead and pull that open just got some elastic cords here tying together
3:14
the packaging okay there we go all right
3:19
that actually feels pretty good that feels pretty slick so I'd say the base
3:23
weighs maybe about it's got to weigh at least a pound
3:27
and a half pound pound and a half or so okay right here are the charging
3:30
contacts contexts contacts for the handsfree okay so uh here cameraman's
3:36
handing me his iPhone so that I can show you guys how it sits in here so the
3:40
iPhone when you have the appropriate liner so it comes with two one for
3:43
iPhone 4 one for iPhone previous generation will sit in there like that
3:47
with proper support and basically what happens is when your phone rings when
3:51
you're at home whether you have it on the charger or not it's just a Bluetooth
3:54
uh Bluetooth headset essentially with a receiver like this it'll ring on here
3:58
instead of on here so what's the value of this that's the question to ask
4:02
yourself oh and you oh okay you got volume button uh volume up volume down
4:07
pick up and hang up so that's that's pretty nice what's the value of this
4:10
well the value of it is that lots of people don't have a landline anymore it
4:15
at my house we have two cell phones and zero landlines so having something like
4:20
this is yes cameraman agrees cameraman also doesn't have a landline so
4:24
especially with younger people this is becoming the only Bill that they really
4:28
feel like paying why pay another bill why have another phone line I don't know
4:32
so anyway the value of this guy is that
4:35
now you can talk in relative comfort you don't have to have an iPhone mushed up
4:40
against your face I'm not going to touch cameraman's cuz he has like mac trims
4:43
and stuff so you know it'll get all over my face and stuff and uh but you don't
4:48
have to pay for an extra line so yeah that's that's pretty much the whole
4:51
point so this guy's Wireless charges on here I should show you guys where the
4:55
plugs are so it's just plain Sleek design actually uh there is the power
5:00
and there's the USB moving around to the other side
5:03
looks like that looks like that you got little uh rubber pieces here where you
5:08
lay down the phone so it doesn't get damaged in any way so whether you have
5:12
an iPhone or any other kind of phone personally I like this I think it's a
5:15
cool idea because you don't have to uh you're you're not necessarily tied to
5:19
your cell phone your cell phone can ring in the living room and you'll still know
5:23
where your your landline phone is so you can go pick it up so this one is going
5:27
to actually be deployed in cameraman's house so maybe I'll do a followup at
5:30
some point in the future to let you guys know if it's any good thanks for
5:33
checking it out don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech
5:38
tips oh yeah yeah yeah cameraman reminded me after it's like as soon as I
5:41
wrapped it up he was like yeah you forgot and I was like yes I did okay so
5:45
here are the instructions press the mfb button zero for 5 seconds search for
5:50
Bluetooth device on your phone and look for moshim MOSI 000000 0
5:57
0 000000 yes 4 4 zeros and then you say
6:01
hi which this is apparently means hi in Japanese that's also something I did
6:06
gosh that's also something I didn't know uh that the cameraman told me there's a
6:10
huge instruction booklet uh partially because it's in lots of different
6:14
languages oh neat okay so if I have two cell phones paired and connected which
6:18
one will be used you can answer calls received on either phone you can
6:21
initiate a call by using the button to either Redal the last call use your
6:24
phone's voice do feature very cool so you can yeah like I said you can have
6:28
two phones paired to at the same time very neat little device and I will
6:32
hopefully be doing a followup in the future
