The Minikit Slim offers 15 hoursò€™ talk time and up to 20 daysò€™ standby power from a four-hour charge, while flat-panel speaker technology provides clear, even sound quality. The kit is also easily customisable; the first model to be offered is the floral-patterned Chic. Up to five phones can be paired with the device and it should be compatible with nearly all current Bluetooth-enabled mobiles.
