My home state of California, like many states, recently enacted a hands-free cell phone law. Legal or not, I happen to think that holding a phone while driving is a bad idea, which is why I got myself one of those Bluetooth earpieces a while back. It lasted about two months before I lost it, because that's what I do with small objects. (Thank goodness my children were both around 21" when they were born, otherwise I probably would have lost them, too.)
So when the folks at iVoice contacted me about reviewing their visor-mounted Bluetooth speakerphone, I thought it was a pretty good idea. The iVoice R1 clips to the visor, so it's hard to lose -- and it doesn't make you look like a modern-day version of Judy the Time-Life Operator. On the other hand, I had my doubts about how well a visor-mounted speakerphone would actually work. So iVoice sent me one, and I tried it out -- check out the results in my iVoice R1 Bluetooth speakerphone review. -- Aaron Gold

The Genesis is close but no cigar, while the German and Infinity competition goes after a slightly more aggressive type driver. This is where all the Lincoln and Cadillac drivers went who didn’t want that Teutonic stiff ride of a M-B or a Bimmer.
It makes more sense for most of us to just get a NAV system with built-in Bluetooth. I recently picked up a Tomtom 720 which does a pretty solid job as a Bluetooth speakerphone in the car – oh, and it does navigation, too! (And talks like John Cleese or Mr T. What else do you need?)
