I think that this speaker phone is great. I use it daily when i drive. It does the basic features very well...
Pro:
-People can hear me w/o any problem at any speed
-It adjust volume by itself - very great feature... I do not need to adjust it while i am driving. It creates true hands free expirience.
-Receive call with one touch
Con:
- Bulky. It looks big comparing to cellular phone.
-Only window mounting
-No fm transmitter to car audio( no need for it as it sounds very loud and distinctive)
- Bettery life is not as promised(not more than 2 hours of constant talk)... but you can use it while you charge it in car(comes with ac and car charger)

Overall very satisfied!!! I would recomend it to all. I gave it 4 stars only because of its size, I think they could make it a bit smaller... Other wise it is good product.... Much better than earpieces..

I bought this to add bluetooth to my car. I found that the sound quality is mixed. The other party often complained of the speech not being clear. It got better with the mic pulled out and closer to the speaker.

This device worked right out of the box (after being charged up, of course) and paired right away with my Treo 650. None of the people with whom I've talked have mentioned any issues with clarity ... even my wife who hates cell phones said it sounded pretty good.

It's a keeper from my standpoint and much better than the earpiece styles I've tried before.

I purchased this product on the advice of a friend who has tried numerous wirless devices for using his cell phone while driving. It is easy to use and the voice quality is good with no complaints from those which whom I am speaking. I have not only used it in my vehicle, but I set it on my desk, and use my cell phone as a conference call device.

I am pleased, and am considering another one just like if for my wife.

I've been using this Jabra SP500 for a week now - for use while driving. The speaker sound is great and loud but mic quality is so poor that you are not audible to the other party and will eventually have to speak much closer to the mic or just use your phone instead. I've returned this back for a more reliable brand like Motorola.

I was surprised at how long the battery lasts on this speaker. I always forget to turn it off and it still lasted a good week and a half. The sound quality is good and the people on the other end have no complaints about being able to hear you. When your cell phone rings in the car the speaker makes it's ringing noise and it reminds you to answer the speaker and not the actual cell phone or you will get a ticket. I would recommend over the ear bud type as long as you don't mind other people listening in on your conversations.

Product had corrosive batteries. This was a big deal because they are rechargeable batteries and it was supposed to be a new product.

The sound quality isn't as good as advertised. There seems to be too much background noise where others on the call have a hard time hearing. Because of this I don't use it much, and the rechargable battery doesn't seem to like the intermittent use, i.e. the battery looses charge quickly, so it's often not ready for a call.

I've had this product for 3 weeks and so far so good. It linked quickly to my Motorola phone and others claim to hear me just fine. At times the speaker cuts out but so does a regular cell phone. I considered the other model Jabra for twice the price but this one does the job I need (hands-free in NJ) and it is still running on its original charge.

Product worked ok for a while and then the people I was speaking with on it began to complain - would not recommend it to others.
