The best bluetooth handsfree so far November 4, 2008 This is by far the best handsfree bluetooth car kit I used. I also own a VR bluetooth car kit from Costco. The biggest problem I have with the VR kit is that I can not hear the speaker well when my car goes faster than 65mph, since my car is one of those that is really noisy at higher speed. I can hear well with the T305 even at 80mph. There are two major advantages the T305 has over the VR kit. The first one I already mentioned, the other one is the battery life. The VR kit usually last only for 1 week and I have to recharge. T305 lasted more than 4 weeks now after the initial charge, (I bought it more than 1 month ago), and I actually talk with it for about 20 times already, adding the time that it is being used but not in conversation. Also, the bluetooth detection is very strong that you have to turn off the T305 to log off the bluetooth if you park your car outside your house. About the charger, you can actually use any charger that has the right connection to charge the unit, and you find that most of the motorola cell phone charger has the same kind of connection to this unit. Actually, some USB cable with the same connection on the other side will allow you to charge the unit by connecting to the computer. I agree with another reviewer about the blinking light. It is a little distracting. However, I am not tall enough to have it right in front of my eye so it is OK. May be motorola should just have a smaller blinking light or a contantly lit light.
Exactly what I need! November 3, 2008 I think the hands-free things you stick in your ear or wear on your head are a complete pain. This device is similar to the integrated and hard install hands-free car kits without the expense and wiring. Just clip it on the visor and DONE! Even on the freeway I can hear well enough and be heard. It's one button to answer calls and you don't have to be a tech-brain to figure it out. The only down-side is remembering to keep it charged, but with the included car-charger you're covered. I also find the blinking bright blue "on" indicator light to be distracting when driving after dark, but have solved the issue to my satisfaction by attaching the device to the top of my visor and flipping the visor down when I need to use the hands-free. All in all, the perfect and cost-effective solution for a person like me who only infrequently talks on the phone while driving.
EXCELLENT 'hands free' choice November 2, 2008 Motorola T305 Bluetooth Portable Hands-Free Speaker (Black)
For those who don't like the feel of a 'plug' in their ear, or, own older cars without a 'Bluetooth' option, where state law (CA) makes it a VERY expensive fine for not using 'hands free', THIS is a GREAT choice!
The quality of the sound (both talking & listening) is excellent. The blue flashing light reminds you it is on. It turns itself off after a period of non-use and the battery charge lasts a L-O-N-G time. I have bought 6-7 of these -for my wife, daughters and each car that does not have the new technology.
Even if your state does NOT require 'hands free' yet, THIS IS a 'safety option'. YOU should NOT be talking on a hand-held phone while driving -the law -or not!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED choice!
Easy to use October 30, 2008 This is the 3rd one I've purchased--all excellent plus easy to use. Great for voice dialing. Very simple setup.
OVERALL PRETTY GOOD - A FEW ISSUES. October 24, 2008 I was tired of using my earpiece Bluetooth so I opted to buy this after reading all the reviews and the rather inexpensive price range. I think it is a good purchase, its small, compact and does what you need it to do (make a phone call). The issues I have are just like the others listed, charging can only be done with a car plugin, the Power button is small and sometimes is a pain to turn on and often I have heard that I sound like I'm in a cave and they find it hard to hear me. (Of course this always depends on how fast I'm going and outside noise). Overall though it is convenient to just clip it to the visor and talk away without having to think too much. Just make sure you can get your mouth somewhat close to the microphone - I often tilt the visor down to bring the mic closer. I would recommend this product but if you are willing to spend a bit more than maybe go for a more advanced bluetooth.
