"The HDBT-110 Bluetooth Communicator is a stylish, portable, lightweight device designed to connect to your Bluetooth enabled cell phone, adding handsfree capability to your phone whether in your home, in your office, or in your car. Utilizing the EasyMount magnetic mounting system, it can easily be positioned within your vehicle without the hassle and mess created by adhesive mounting solutions. The Bluetooth Communicator is contained within an extremely small form factor (98.6mm x 98mm x 27.5mm), and weighs in at an incredibly lightweight 77 grams.

The low power consumption of the internal rechargeable lithium ion battery will support up to 10 hours of talk time, and up to 500 hours of standby time."

yes, my Prius has built-in Bluetooth handsfree and its way better than having to hold the phone, or use a headset.

It seems like the Supertooth 2 received excellent reviews as a similar device.
