This dock does the trick, it allows a secure home for the blackberry. I used to have have the blackberry share a cup holder to keep it close by, now it has its own home.

I can play music through the car speakers, and talk handfree. It even lets me charge the blackberry. In caifornia we are are required to talk handsfree so this feature is very important to us here. For the best sound adjust he volume on the blackberry then I adjust the sound level on the car radio.

When a call comes in the music lowers automatically and all you need to do is to press the talk button on the phone.

I think I may have found the first hands free device for the BlackBerry... (I'm sure it's not the first, but I sure as heck cound't find one anywhere else). NY's finest love giving new "hands free" tickets for talking on your cell phone. I can finally remove this silly bluetooth headset and talks hands free with my BB!

Sound quality is pretty good compared to what I've heard on other FM transmitters. It's not as good as the quality I've heard with friends who have line-in plugs for their Iphones, but accptable nonetheless. No static, yet.

Setup is easy. Plug it in to the 12v outlet and tune the radio station to match what you set on the connector dock. My buddy had to give me a hand with the programming, but it wasn't really that hard. It would be nice if somehow there were less cables floating around the device! but I'm content with the fact it allows me to talk hands free and it even charges too! Maybe now I can try Pandora again? I tried it earlier, but it ate too much battery. I can follow up with the results soon.

It's very easy to use and install but the sound quality is horrible. Always hear static no matter which station I tune to. When I receive a call I can hardly hear it even on max volume in the car. They can hear me well, but I can hardly hear them. For the cost I suppose you pay for what you get, but I would rather have skipped this purchase and paid more for quality. Even when the volume on my radio and phone is on max the music is not as loud as it should be. Just overall a bad quality of sound playback on this item.

Great concept but was to difficult to set up every time you want to use. Try the Motorola wireless T505 it's great!

I was so excited to buy this item, but the signal interfered with the radio in my car. It made an awful sound whenever I attempted to use it and on which ever station I chose, I looked online and found that this had happened with other Vue owners as well. In the end I still gave the product 3 stars though because I gifted it to a friend with a Celica and he LOVES it.

It works and its a very simple set up.
Fast delivery and very eager to please customer service!

However, in my little car it tended to obsessionally tip over on one side.
Also, The static you hear when you are listening to your mp3 songs can get annoying but it's somewhat difficult to change the station because the placement of the station display is at the top of the thing and you can't see it without taking your eyes off the road longer than I, at least, am comfortable with.
The hands free talking feature is very cool and works well but listening to music is not a great experience. It just depends what you value most. I do use it enough to not have sent it back but I don't use it as much as I thought I would.

Ok, hopefully I have done something wrong in installing this unit, because no one else talks about the fact that the unit is top heavy with the Blackberry in it. If I turn a corner, the unit itself turns around. I am very disappointed at the asethetics of this unit. Any suggestions? I haven't bothered with the FM transmission thing. Sounds like a good idea, but the thing is a hinderence when it is flopping around like a fish. It is difficult to keep the unit upright, and the flexible tube is awkward to bend. At this point, I would rather have a unit that securely holds the Blackberry. I don't care if it charges it or has the call through the radio. Have emailed the manufacturer, but have heard nothing. Going to look into returning this. Too aggervating fo me!

This product works great with my Verizon Moto Droid. I'm able to listen to music, podcasts, and Google Navigation through my car audio system. Since there is nothing currently specifically marketed for the Droid, I figured this would work since it has the connections I need. I tested the hands-free feature and that works so well that the people on the other end did not know they were on speakerphone. The audio quality is as good as one could expect from a radio transmitter. I'm not sure about the durability of the spine in the long run, but for now, it's up to the task of holding up my (relatively heavy) Droid. Since this is a universal product, the placing of the ports isn't ideal for my particular phone. The audio cord comes from the bottom up to connect to the top of my phone, and the USB input is on the wrong side. This presents a bit of a cable management challenge. However, I knew this going in, so it was not a surprise.

I was a little worried that the USB charger would not work since I've had products fail to charge via USB before, but this is able to seamlessly charge my Droid via the provided Micro-USB.

Overall, though not overly elegant, this is a fine product to suit my needs.

I found the product very hard to use. I've tried using the plug adapter in different cars, it will not stay in the lighter properly. especially when the car is moving. the sound quality is pretty good. The holder not strong enough the for 9700 blackberry. The arm keep falling down and adapter will not stay in.

I purchased the car mount system so that I could listen to Pandora and Sirius though my Blackberry while I drove. My Blackberry Curve fits nicely in the mount but that's about the only good thing. The part that plugs into the outlet has these rubber pieces that make it almost impossible to fit. Then as soon as you let go of the mount whole thing falls out of the outlet. I had to cut off some of this rubber just to make it fit. Then when you drive the mount either falls out of the outlet or it spins around and your phone ends up on the floor. I made a makeshift bracket to hold the mount into place so now I can not remove the mount from my car. Lastly the sound quality is poor, there is constant static no matter what channel you set the FM transmitter to, and mine is about 6 inches from my radio.

Very Poor design, very poor quality, Do Not Buy!!!!!
