Motorola V710
v710 Blue tooth Car Kit - Anyone?

I have the Motorola Bluetooth car kit and I really like it. I can use the voice dialing feature of the phone (I have over 300 contacts in my phone--directly from Outlook) to make calls. Simple to use.
Drawbacks: I had to get a separate hang-up cup that I occasionally use when reception is bad (need external antenna which is connected to the hang-up cup) or the phone needs charging.

I have the Moto kit in my Benz. It works perfectly. Finds the phone as soon as you start the car. The only drawback: don't try standing just outside the car if it isn't completely off and using your handset as the car kit still has the phone under its spell. But that is a rare situation.

There is button that is the equivalent of the voice button on the control panel, so you just push it and say your command once prompted.
The installer couldn't interface it to the in-car sound system, but the speaker is fine and unseen. I didn't put anything in the car to hold the ph...
