Kistler “llkistler” (Belmont, California) – See all my reviews We’ve been using the VisorTalk Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit for about three months and love it. It’s always where we need it and works well even under high traffic noise. To turn the unit on, you lift the LCD screen and it presents a two-tone signal and then syncs with your blue-tooth enabled phone with a reverse two-tone signal, so it’s easy to tell when it’s on and when it’s synced. It has one feature in particular that is wonderful. You get one programmable call button that allows you to set up one (and only one) phone number to dial with a simple push of the button. This could be an emergency number but we have it programmed for a family member. Advantages include simplicity of use, good speakers, good voice quality. Disadvantages include poor button placement, only one quick-call butt
April 16, 2008 10:17 AM PDT Gold Lantern VisorTalk: Bluetooth car speakerphone with caller ID Posted by John P. Falcone There are plenty of Bluetooth hands-free speakerphones for the car out there, but the Gold Lantern VisorTalk distinguishes itself with a caller ID display–all the better to screen calls while you’re on the road. Otherwise, the VisorTalk–so named because it clips to the sun visor–has all the standard features covered: It sports Bluetooth 2.0 (for pairing with any compatible cell phone) and a full duplex speakerphone, and the rechargeable battery is rated at 8 hours talk time and 200 hours standby (a car charger is included). And that “H” button centered below the display is a “hot-line” number that you can set for any favorite number you choose. Sure, it may not beat the text-to-speech caller ID feature on the Sony Ericsson HCB-150, but the $75 street price on the Gold Lantern is less than half what you’ll pay for the Sony Ericsson. The VisorTalk is available now. –
