Helium Digital Bluetooth Communicator
"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. It utilizes cutting edge noise cancellation and echo elimination technologies delivering best-in-class voice quality, even when placed within a wide range of noisy environments. In order to ensure safe operation of a vehicle while driving, the HDBT-110 utilizes four simple operating buttons, as well as voice dial capability. 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."
This product interests me quite a bit - I've had Bluetooth on every Pocket PC Phone and Smartphone I've owned over the past few years, yet when driving I always end up with my phone on my ear (I dislike wearing Bluetooth headsets). Having something like this that I can leave in my car would be quite nice. The price of $89.99 CAD (about $78 USD) seems quite reasonable. Have you used something similar to this in your vehicle? The product isn't available until March 2007, however, so for now all you can do is look...

This product is called the Sudio Halo here in Australia. I've had one for the last five months or so and am pretty happy with it. It isn't super loud, but good enough to use in our convertible at speed and with the roof down.
With a more conventional car the quality is very good. And the noise cancelling for the listener is great. The downside is that it is slightly tinny for the person being called, but no more so than standard car kits.
Definitely recommended.
