Summary: Great Solution
Review: Compared to other hands free devices I've tried, this one works great. Yes, you do sound a bit far away to the person you are talking to (as you do when you are talking on a speakerphone at your office), but they can hear you without your having to shout. The microphone portion of the device is relatively close to the phone, but only points in one direction, so you'll need to make sure that it is pointing the right way.It would be nice if it had an on-off switch and some way to know how to order the accessories (external antenna and microphone). Also, this works best with some type of a phone cradle.

Summary: NOT A BAD PRODUCT
Review: Having had a professional Motorola Hands Free Kit previously installed in an older car for my Star Tac phone, I know how expensive the permanent kits are not to mention the installation fees. When I saw this product and it's promises of easy installation and use for (an affordable price), I had to try it. Needless to say, I have not been disappointed. I have a StarTac 7868 digital phone -- I was able to easily attach the kit to my SUV's cigarette adapter and clipped the speaker to a panel on the front passenger side (near my gearshift). The speaker sound is just as good as I remember my old "pro" kit was (the 3W boost REALLY helps), and the kit turns off when I shut off the car. I stick my phone in the cupholder, so the mic thats attached to the cord sticks out towards me and so far, everyone I call has said they can hear me fine (there is some noticeable road noise when I drive over 30mph, but not too bad). I've tried other "hassle free" handsfree kits like the one I bought at Sharper Image, and this one is MUCH MUCH better. And the best thing is, if I ever need to use the kit in another car, I can just pop it out and take it with me. If you want an inexpensive alternative to all of those dangling earphones, than you may want to try this product.

Summary: Great speakerphone / charger
Review: I don't say this often, but this is pretty much the perfect product-- it does exactly what it claims to do, and it does it simply. Plug one end into your cigarette lighter, the other end into your Motorola phone, and start dialing. You'll be surprised at how clearly you can hear folks on the other end of the line, and they'll be amazed at how clearly they can hear you. No more messing around with doo-dads in your ear and microphones that never quite seem to work. Two small cautions: * Make sure your phone's "auto-hands free" option is on, otherwise you'll need to keep the phone cover open. * This model doesn't work on GSM phones (most StarTac aren't GSM; I just happened to notice this in the instruction manual for the speakerphone.) Very highly recommended-- simple and clear.

Summary: Perfect portable easy to use solution
Review: I loved this product. As far as portable ease of use it was perfect. I could leave it plugged into my cigarette lighter constantly without wearing down my battery. I would simply snap the connector into the bottom of the phone and I'm done. When calls came, you just flip the phone open and talk. The speaker was loud and clear and no one ever complained about not being able to hear me.
Unfortunately, I got sick of my startac battery wearing down and bought a Nokia. I'm happy with the Nokia phone, but their hands-free solutions for the 8260 are not nearly as good as this.

Summary: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!
Review: I tried this out in my car and people on the other end of the line said I sounded like I was at the bottom of a well. The only way they could hear me was when I picked up the speakerphone and held it close to my mouth, totally defeating the "hands-free" concept. Motorola says you can correct this problem by buying an accessory microphone to clip on your shirt; I think it should work as it comes out of the box without additional hidden cost.

Summary: Not what I expected.
Review: Same as other customers, people have problems hearing me with the built-in microphone. According to Motorola to fix this problem you have to buy the external microphone SYN5708 which is more money... not a big saving....

Summary: Make sure this fits your phone!
Review: The illustration for this produce is not clear enought to allow you to clearly see which Motorola phones it fits, and the description doesn't say, so be careful. There is apparently a version for the Startac series AND a version for the V-120C (and similar). This review applies to the V-120C. This is an extremely useful product. The receive audio is excellent. I get very good transmit audio reports with the built-in microphone. I get better transmit audio reports with a microphone pluged into the unit and positioned closed to my mouth. Motorola makes an optional microphone for this purpose. However, if you own an earphone(bug)/microphone handsfree unit you can plug it into the microphone jack on the unit and use the microphone. It works quite well and can be positioned nearly anywhere near you. I put mine over the driver's sun visor. I can ignore the whole thing unless I get or make a call, or remove the phone and take with me. If you are undecided as to whether to buy a handfree unit, DO IT. The increase in safety from simply having both hands on the steering wheel pays for the unit (and maybe your car and body). With the V-120C and its voice dial capabilities, all you have to do is press one button to make a (voice dialed) call. If you set the "answer with any button" or "auto answer on second ring" options you have to do nothing more than press one button (or wait for auto answer) to receive a call. Keep the unit pluged into the power socket and simply plug in your phone when you get in the car. Very easy, and you can move it from car to car (including rental cars). It works. It's safe. It's cool. Mostly, it's safe.
