sounds interesting... am I right in thinking that it must have a built in speaker? Is this unit quite big?

I've got a Pama Bluetooth Handsfree which I got off of ebay about a year ago. It cost me about £60 and I think it works quite well. It's got a built in speaker and microphone and is very clear but it has to be clipped on to the sunvisor, which I find rather awkward at times, because you can't easily move the sunvisor without moving the position of the Bluetooth device.

The Law on Using Handfree Phones in car says that the Phone must be fitted to a Proper cradle or any other permanent fitting, would that make this item illegal in UK?

That's a very good point. I think I'll fit a "Parrot". I'll go off and have a look on ebay right away!

I must admit the parrot looks a lot simpler and cheaper

Those look brilliant Keith but they cost an arm and a leg. They look like it would take ages to figure out how to make a call though but I guess you'd get used to it.
