ON Hands Free Solution for '04

I own a '04 RX-8 and I am looking for a hands free cell phone solution and I am polling the group to find out what they are using.

Thanks

Plantronics Voyager Series 855. It's great sound quality, decent battery life and it can be switched between mono or stereo. Also it's pretty compact

I use the Motorola T505 Bluetooth unit that has a built in speaker or what's better is that it goes through your FM radio so that you can hear the call through the car's speaker system.

I use the BlueAnt ST3 and I'm happy with it. I like that it has text-to-speech so it announces the caller (by name if it is in my phone book) and that it is compatible with voice dialing on my Blackberry. Sound quality is OK and the ringer is loud (important because I am usually blasting music).

Parrot its there just under the volume **** microphone is hidden beside the front mirror. Audio plays through the front speakers, and you can still listen to music in the rear

That would be nice. Maybe the next generation.

I can also answer handsfree...I just turn off the stereo and say "OK".

If there was something that could read incoming txt and e-mail and allow me to voice to text reply to them that would be even better! It will be really hard not to txt and e-mail while driving as of today
