Here is the Nokia HF-300 Bluetooth speakerphone, hot from the 4th of July grill. It will allow you to quickly install a hands-free and cable-free call system just by clipping it to your sunvisor, using its own batteries for up to 20 hours of talk. The HF-300 knows when to turn itself off so you don’t lose power and, hopefully, avoid long mother-in-law monologues. Do the clickity-clickity-thang to see a close-up and pricing info.
We’re personally looking forward to the Vista-capable HTC Shift for our UMPC-from-HTC needs, but this HTC Omni seems quite nice from the renders. It has WM6, 3G UMTS/HSDPA, a 4-inch 800×480 display, TV/VGA out, 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, microSD expansion slot, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, GPS, a large QWERTY and a size of 130 x 81 x 16mm.
No other specs or details, but we’re looking forward to what HTC decides to do with this one. The flip-open gloss face looks nice, even if there is a lot of unused space on the inside of the cover.

Legend of Zelda stickers and a Halo 3 paint job not getting the message through? Try these Fuzzy Game Boy dice. A Kotaku reader crafted them himself, which means you can’t buy them, but they look easy enough to make for a fun day of crafting and sewing with your kids. And that message you’re putting out there? “Please, nerdy chicks only.” Which isn’t all that bad, when you think about it.

Take your pup out to the July 4th festivities in this Croc-Eat-Dog Suit, and show your fellow Americans he’s not only a cooperative little mutt, but he’s also some doggone good eatin’.

Best Dog Suit Ever. By a Longshot [Spinwall]
Evil Mad Scientist’s disclaimer that this little project “just isn’t safe” kind of lowballs the danger level involved, since you’re basically plugging your hot dog directly into a power outlet.
To be more precise, you alligator clip two forks, which you shove into the hot dog, into a wall socket (or power strip, which would be moderately safer). Wait about two minutes for a snap, crackle and pop—you have yourself a cooked dog, which you can eat or shove LEDs into (pictured).
Definitely recommended if your barbecue gets rained out and you can’t shoot any fireworks to spark that annual family trip the emergency room.
