Cons: Voice Recognition isn't perfect and it doesn't come with a command list for it, so take a couple minutes to check what will and wont work.
Pros: Works great and so far only a few little hiccups. |

Cons: Worst voice recognition I have ever experienced.
Pros: Easy, cheap, pairs well, clear sound, good battery life. Comment:
For receiving calls, this thing works well. It connects to my phone as soon as I get in the car, it tells me when a call is incoming, and it's easy to receive the call and talk to the person. It lasts a pretty long time before it needs re-charging and the sound is quite clear.The one problem with this device, however, is big enough for me to bump it down from 5 to 3 stars. The voice recognition does not work. At all. I know that the actual voice recognition software is on the phone, but I have no problems using it when I'm on my phone while I have owned the BlueAnt for 3 months and have YET to successfully place EVEN ONE CALL using my BlueAnt. Ironically it would actually be safer for me to simply dial a number on my phone while driving than it is for me to rage out and be screaming at my blueant "CALL HOME CALL HOME CALLLL HOMMEEEM." I have tried everything to get it to understand my simple instructions but as I said it has yet to work EVEN ONCE. It has gotten to the point where I turn off the BlueAnt, use Voice Dial through the phone, and then turn the BlueAnt back on to connect while it's ringing. Madness. |

Cons: -Larger than expected-Voice prompts can be annoying (female computer voice)
Pros: -Pairs easily with iPhone 4 and BB Torch.-Clean design, not distracting when driving.-Simple, easy to use functions.-Sound quality in calls is above average. Comment:
Much better than the original BT Mirror from nGear. Was very easy to pair and transfer contacts from 2 phones.Connects to the first phone it finds when entering the vehicle. So if my wife gets in first but is not driving it will pair with her phone instead of mine. Not a pro or a con, just the way it is. Reconnecting is a matter of a few swipes on my phone.Overall this is one of the most convenient and easy to use BT car kits I've used. Good buy. |

Cons:
none noticable
Pros: Easy pairing & setup. Comment:
Works great right out of the box. WIll pair to your phone and download all of your contacts, so that you can use voice dialing. PAirs with multiple phone so you can leave it in you car no matter who drives. |

Cons:
15 months and still happy, closest thing to a weakness is that I will be trying to make or receive a call and forget that I am in range of the speaker-phone and not hear anything on the handset... but that's a user problem :)
Pros: Call quality, no one knows they are talking to you on a speaker-phone unless you tell thembattery life - I still go 3-4 weeks between chargessimple button controls if the phone doesn't support voice dialling Comment:
The BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Speaker-phone is the best speaker-phone I have ever come across, and even after 15 months of using it, I am still impressed with its call quality, and its battery life.I bought this when it was new to the market, and at $150, I still think its worth every penny, even more so with the cost of a ticket from just using the handset. |

Cons:
cannot connect multiple handsets
Pros: battery lengthconnects automatically to phone Comment:
This is truly handsfree once you set it up - and the instructions are pretty clear. It transferred my contacts of an iPhone 3GS - no problems - and works well with it. In fact even if you are close to the car the phone can sometimes try to connect when it rings - but you can easily choose to divert it back to your handset.The only drawback is that you cannot pair it with multiple devices at the same time - so if my husband is in the car with me - only one of us can be connected to it (and changing over is a bit of a hassle) Apparently the S4 from Bluant will let you do this - I am getting on of those for the other vehicle we have. |

Cons:
transfer of contacts does not work with my phone :-(
Pros: clear speakercomes already charged Comment:
i was thinking of a solution for taking cellphone calls when driving. i usually stumble to get my cellphone if i'm receiving a call. i researched what's the best thing and this one came out on the top of the list. i don't want something hanging on my ear. unfortunately, the transfer of contacts does not work on my phone. but it's not the unit's fault |

Cons:
Not free
Pros: Easy to use Comment:
Easy to setup and technically challenged friendly. Works great! Connect automatically thru bluetooth when we get in the vehicle. You can't tell you're on handsfree when talking thru it or being the other person on the line. Got 2 magnetic visor clips so you can transfer it to another vehicle. Apparently you can setup 2 cells on this at once but haven't tried. Use the buttons to answer calls or voice command. |

Cons:
Initial pairing to phone seems to fail several times.Voice dialing is hit-or-miss
Pros: Great battery lifeVery clear receptionSounds loud and clear to people at the other endComes with both AC and 12V charger.Can charge from PC via USB Comment:
Been using it for 3 weeks and still on initial charge. Initial pairing to my Nokia E71 failed several times before it accepted the connection. It uploaded my contact list successfully on the third attempt. Now it happily says "Connected to phone!" every time I enter the car. Voice dialing seems to be hit-or-miss but I think that is going to be a learning process.Added my wife's Nokia 6500S to it with the same problems as my phone. One it was paired successfully then it worked great.As a previous reviewer said - the British English is the more interesting choice! |

Cons:
A little quiet at times.
Pros: Good construction, volume, and voice recognition. Comment:
I bought this for my wife, and she's really enjoying it. The voice activation worked flawless out of the box, and it was very simple to set up and to use. (Go with the british language option, it's far more interesting than the US voice.)Definately recommended. |
The price for it was sale but it is definitely worth the regular cost. Going to make life a lot easier for me from now on!
