Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for movies, music, and gaming, the ButtKicker LFE "silent subwoofer" lets users experience realistic special effects and concert-quality music without waking the kids or disturbing the neighbors. Rather than emitting loud rumbling sounds during each explosion or heavy bass passage, the ButtKicker simulates the "feeling" of the effect through your couch, chairs, and other furnishings, letting you sense the low without the excessive volume. The device accurately mimics the sensation of many natural and manmade sounds, such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, rocket launches, waves, explosions, tornadoes, volcanoes, dinosaurs, sound effects, and all styles of music.
The ButtKicker LFE (low frequency effects) functions similar to a loudspeaker, but instead of moving a cone and transferring sound waves through the air, it uses a patented magnetic suspension system to attach to seats and floors, thus sending the low frequency sound directly into the listener's body. Listeners can decrease the sound pressure level from the subwoofer to where the kids upstairs can't hear it, yet still feel all the bass they want. And as compared to other shakers or tactile transducers that use voice coil technology, the ButtKicker is more powerful and more musical (linear), with a true low frequency response of 9 Hz and a range of 5 to 200 Hz.
To make it easy to connect your ButtKicker, the company included several other items to this LFE bundle, including a 2,100-watt amplifier that connects to your receiver's subwoofer out, a cable package, and a chair/couch mounting accessory kit. Simply place the mounting plate under one leg of a piece of furniture and attach the ButtKicker to the other side. The kit also includes rubber isolators that sit under the furniture's other legs. Listeners can even install the ButtKicker under the floor to enjoy a full-room tactile experience.
To top it off, the ButtKicker LFE is virtually indestructible and maintenance-free. It's so reliable, in fact, that dozens of theme park owners, specialty theaters, virtual reality operators, and arcade owners are using a commercial version of the ButtKicker to boost their bottom line. So if you're looking to delight and electrify your guests with an affordable and easy-to-use full-body experience, it's time to incorporate the ButtKicker into your home theater system.

All this adds up to one easy-to-use phone, and a perfect complement to Verizon Wireless service. <B>Design</B>

A supplementary display on the front cover of the device can display call information, time of day, battery and signal strength, and more.

<B>Calling Features</B>
The K323 boasts powerful calling functions. The included voice dialing feature makes it easy to call contacts by simply saying their names. No prior voice training is required. The K323 can store up to 500 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses, while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones, while more ringtones can be downloaded from Verizon's Get It Now service. Specific ringtones can be assigned to your most common callers, too. When keeping a low profile is a must, use the K323's vibrating alert for discreet management of incoming calls. The K323's GPS location technology can pinpoint your exact location when you dial 911. Lastly, use the speakerphone, or the phone's Bluetooth capability and connect with a wireless headset to talk handsfree.

You can check your email, trade stocks online, compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get movie listings, and find directions to the theater. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the K323 including a to-do list, a calculator, a calendar, a notepad, a voice memo recorder, a stopwatch, and an alarm clock. And if needed, the K323 can act as a modem connection for fast email downloads or Web browsing from your PC.
If desired, the onboard GPS feature can do more than give your current location to emergency personnel. The K323 is fully compatible with Verizon's VZ Navigator service, a feature that provides all the bells and whistles of an advanced navigation system on your mobile phone at a fraction of the price of other GPS devices and systems. The VZ Navigator service provides heads-up, voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions (with auto-rerouting if you miss a turn), local search of nearly fourteen million points of interest (POIs) in the United States, and detailed color maps that can be quickly panned and zoomed.
