Motorola Motorokr T505
26/02/08
Bluetooth In-Car Speaker and Digital FM Transmitter. Now this is one great product! You need a handsfree in-car solution, but you also want to use your mp3 player, enter the MOTOROKR T505! This intelligent convergence device gives you both! This unit, once connected allows your phone and music device to route calls and music audio through your car's FM radio, now how useful is that! After thorough testing I can conform that this is a MUST HAVE gadget, it is utterly brilliant! So simple to use, so easily transportable, so well made and sooo useful.
Chargeable via USB, either via your computer (with a standard mini USB cable) or with the included car USB charger,the light on the front changes from orange to green and you are ready to go!(takes 4 hours initially to charge the internal battery) Mount it on your closed visor in the car, or with the attachments included, easily pair with your Bluetooth enabled phone and then listen to the voice announcements of free FM positions when you have turned on your car radio. Tune into the announced position and bingo! a white light on the top of the unit comes on and your calls and music from your phone is seamlessly streamed through your car's stereo, fantastic! This unit has 'StationFinder' technology built-in which does the work for you – finds and announces the best FM station for a clear FM connection and minimal static and it really works, it also features Audio CallerID which means you can hear the number of the person calling, this means your eyes are kept on the road and you can decide to accept the call with a simple tap on the front of the T505 or reject the call. I feel this is a far safer solution than peering at a screen trying to decipher who the caller is.
Pros:
No installation necessary as it clips onto your car's sun visor, this also means it can easily be moved from car to car.
Very easy Bluetooth pairing. I tested this with a Motorola phone as well as an LG and a Nokia, with no trouble.
Has a very clear 2 watt speaker built-in, so you don't have to use your car's speakers if you don't want to.
'StationFinder' technology built-in with audible notification of the best FM station for tuning in to.
Audio CallerID For audible announcement of the incoming calls telephone number.
Long battery life of up to 18 hours with FM transmitter or 14 days at standby and easy to charge with included car charger.
Clear visual conformation of functions with front mounted colour changing light and audible conformation.
Full mobile mounting kit included, adjustable for any make of mobile phone, not just Motorola's.
Echo and Noise reduction technology built-in, with stereo muting for incoming calls.
Ability to take your music with you and have a handsfree mobile phone solution in one small device!
Cons:
The one and only 'con' is that unless your car has a thickly padded visor the T505 can rattle, although it is never in danger of falling off!
Price: Around £60
