Hands free units

hawthorn

Hi All

Hope Im in the right forum. Im thinking of buying a hands free unit. I have a Nokia 6230, and even if I upgrade I think I will stay with Nokia (so used to it, texting etc etc). But whats the best one to get that would allow me to change phones whenever?

I saw a kit in Carphone Warehouse, it was bluetooth, but not with the head set (I dont think Id like these). But a little screen tat sits on the dash, shows you whose calling, and a control unit that clips on to the steering wheel.

Does anyone know these? And / or is there a better / cheaper unit? Think these were €199

Thanks

I got the sony ericsson HCB-700 professional installed in Waterford and I would highly recomend it. It cuts out the audio when a call comes through and the mic quality is excellent. Only problem was I also have a 6230i which does to support the phonebook feature, which means that caller id is only by number. I have since changed to a SE handset.

Here is the carkit

I got mine supplied and fitted for €200 but i think he looked after me with that price.

With regards to changing your phone. The SE's are really worth looking into. They are very simular to the Nokia. You'd be surprised how alike they are with some of their menus

The Nokia kit is quite a good car kit but unfortunately it does not come with the lcd for the caller id feature, unless of course you go for the cradle mount but that sort of defeats the purpose of the bluetooth.
