The Speakerphone Makes Driving Safer

One of my pet peeves is people talking on their cellphones while driving. It’s becoming more and more commonplace to see folks gabbing away while driving, completely distracted from the road. That’s why I use a Bluetooth headset, which lets me answer calls and talk while both my hands are firmly on the wheel.

That’s not the only way to answer calls and talk, though. Motorola makes the  MOTOROKR T505 Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone, which attaches to your visor via a clip. The T505 gives you a couple of options for listening to your phone: either through the built-in speaker or through your car speakers using the FM transmitter.

It’s easy to use: when a call comes in, simply touch the front button on the left, and start yapping. You can do more than make calls with the T505, too; it works to route your cellphone’s music through car speakers (if your phone is also a media player.)  Note that you need to have a Bluetooth-enabled phone to make this work, but that shouldn’t be a problem for most, since just about every cellphone released for the last several years has Bluetooth connectivity built in.

Consider the T505 or another Bluetooth headset to stay safe while driving; remember, the life you save may be mine!
