5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great little unit!, June 22, 2009

This review is from: Jabra SP700 Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone

I am very happy with this device. It connects easily and quickly, especially if you leave your cell phone's bluetooth turned on. The first time pairing was easy using the demo on the Jabra website. It had step by step instructions for a variety of phones. There are only three regular buttons on it. One each for volume up and down and one to turn the FM transmitter on. The main on and off button is the entire front angled surface of the device. It couldn't be easier to find and push and it only takes light pressure to engage it. I think it is a very nice interface.
With the ease and speed that it connects, I find that I'm using it every time I get in my car. The sound of the speakerphone is fine and people on the other end of calls seem to be able to hear me well enough. I love that I can receive calls in my car without ever getting my phone out of my pocket.
I was quite suprised how well the FM transmitter worked. Just push the button once and it turns on and announces what frequency it is broadcasting to. It has always been 88.1 so I use a preset to simplify the process. The frequency is also adjustable using the volume buttons and it announces each one that you change it to. The hardest part is getting my phone out and setting it up to play music. Once that is done, the sound that starts playing over the car's speakers is very impressive. After reading some of the reviews, I wasn't expecting too much but I've been quite pleased. It is also very nice to have a phone conversation with this set-up. It has the feel of having an integrated cell phone in your car similar to Synch or Onstar.
The packaging is very simple which at first seemed a bit strange but there was a sheet inside the package to let you know that this was intentionally done to save on useless expensive packaging meant to help sell things on the shelf of a store. Which is not really needed for internet sales. Once I thought about it, it made sense to get rid of the waste. Some reviews have complained about this but in the end I thought this was a good thing. I didn't have to cut it out of the bubble packages or throw so much extra trash in the landfill.

3.0 out of 5 stars Never fumble for the phone again -- UPDATE, May 13, 2009

By	Noname - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)    (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Jabra SP700 Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone

My brother gave me a Jabra for Christmas. My phone was so old, it did not have Bluetooth technology and I went out to get a new phone just so I could use it. Well, I'm glad I did. The only time I need to talk hands-free is in the car. This is perfect for that.

The Jabra is wonderful. It's sleek and thin, doesn't obstruct my vision when on the visor. It was quick and easy to set up and use. When calls come in, I only need to touch it to answer. No more fumbling for my phone. The sound is crisp and clear. I talk mostly to my husband on it and he says the sound is clear on his end. My kids talk to him from the back of the minivan and he can hear them, too. I much prefer it to the earpiece, which I had to worry about falling out of my ear and gave listeners on the other end an echo. It's also preferable to the speakerphone function of the cellphone.

This is a wonderful gadget -- one of those nice to have, makes my life easy sort of things. I'm glad I own it.

UPDATE: The battery life is remarkable. It's been three months and I've only charged it once. Admittedly, I only turn it on to make or accept calls about once a week, but most rechargeable batteries discharge over time even without use. Still haven't found any problems with this product. Two thumbs up.

UPDATE: Jabra has quite a range and I have to be careful to remember to turn it off. Once, when in a building with my car outside, my phone rang. The Jabra picked it up, so I couldn't answer it, at least not before the call was lost.

____________________

UPDATE: I have now been on the receiving end of the Jabra calls and it echoes. I really don't like it. I can always tell if my brother is using it and I have a difficult time hearing him. I will lower the star rating by two stars for this.

5.0 out of 5 stars NO more ear-piece, June 29, 2009

This review is from: Jabra SP700 Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone

This product is a great alternative to those who dont want to wear an earpiece, and who want to have the option of using their car stereo for using the phone. EASY to operate, slim design, great battery life, wonderful clarity, and a very attractive piece. After I bought mine, three frinds and family members also purchased them for their own cars.
