FOR THE DAD ON THE ROAD: Motorola T505 Bluetooth Speakerphone

May 31, 2009 By Stephanie

I was going to open this post with a paragraph about how Bluetooth Speakerphones help keep dads safe on the road. After all, the less that dads “look down” or balance their phones precariously on their pant legs, the better.

But then I asked my husband to edit the post and he said, “Dads don’t want to be safe. Dads want to be dangerous.”

Okay, Mr. Mission Impossible.

I’ll just stick with all of the super cool features of the Motorola T505 Bluetooth Speakerphone ($139.99) instead.

motorola t505

The T505 will clip conveniently to his visor (no installation required) and allow him to have his hands-free as he converses with coworkers, clients, and friends.

The digital FM Transmitter with its trademarked StationFinder technology ensures that he will be able to locate a station with the clearest possible transmission.

The T505 also comes with a car charger so he’ll always have power on the road.

So, let’s see: he can use the T505 to make top secret phone calls, to listen to a podcast about extreme sports, or to talk with a friend as he 4-wheels over big boulders…all kinds of “dangerous” pursuits.

Of course, it will probably keep him safer on the road too. But there’s no need to mention that…

    I love these bluetooth devices for hands free calling – that’s so important in the car! Hubby and I both have to keep our cell phones out of reach in order to avoid the temptation of texting or checking emails in traffic. These are great to be able to still take calls and not be distracted from the road.

    This would be excellent for my husband who is always on the go :)

    Speaker looks great and more convenient than ear buds for men. Thanks for the chance

  4. Helen says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:59 pm

    This would be perfect for my husband who spends a lot of time on the road.

  5. Charlene Kuser says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:53 pm

    This would be great for my husband for he is always talking on his cell phone when he is driving,not a good thing to do.It also causes road rage with other’s seeing him doing this
    while driving

  6. Michele P. says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:50 pm

    my husband has scared me enough with talking on the phone and swerving around in traffic. I have threatened him with a bluetooth before lol… because he needs one so he can drive with both hands on the wheel! I always worry about him ending up in some ditch someplace because he was reaching for the ringing cellphone…

  7. Debbie B says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:46 pm

    this is a new product to me! I think my husband would find it quite handy! Would make a great gift for him!

  8. Janet says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:32 pm

    This would be great to use at our house:)

  9. Maja says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:17 pm

    my husband would love this

  10. Dave says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:13 pm

    This would make a great gift for my dad. Generally he is cautious about staying off the cell phone while driving, but the T505 Bluetooth will eliminate any need to do so. Thank you for the chance to win.

  11. Kyle Neusch says

    June 8, 2009 at 7:38 pm

    Never heard of a bluetoothe speakerphone, but it looks quite useful.

  12. Heather C says

    June 8, 2009 at 7:30 pm

    This would be awesome for my klutzy self. I always have my phone in the bottom of my bag, and nearly run off the road just *thinking* about answering it.

  13. Trisha says

    June 8, 2009 at 7:28 pm

    actually my teenager would prefer this to use while skateboarding! right now he’s trying to break a world record!!!

  14. Betty C says

    June 8, 2009 at 7:20 pm

    Yep, I look at safety first too. But what do we know?

  15. Ann says

    June 8, 2009 at 7:09 pm

    This would be a much safer alternative to my husband looking down all the time. He scares the crap out of me.

  16. tricia c says

    June 8, 2009 at 6:28 pm

    I worry about the hubby talking on the cell while driving, especially in the city. Hands free driving is safer driving.

  17. Michelle H. says

    June 8, 2009 at 5:31 pm

    Where I live, you get a ticket for driving and using the cellphone without a bluetooth or similar device and this kind of danger gets kind of old.

  18. Renee Turner says

    June 8, 2009 at 4:31 pm

    Wow- I love the versatility of this gadget. Guys love things that do a bunch of things, but doesn’t require much effort on their part.

  19. kathy pease says

    June 8, 2009 at 4:18 pm

    my daughter just got her license and i have given her all the lectures on talking on her phone while in the car.this would sure ease my mind somewhat.

  20. Lindsay says

    June 8, 2009 at 3:39 pm

    This would come in handy as we talk on our cell phones for extended periods of time and sometimes our necks begin to hurt!

  21. Jay F says

    June 8, 2009 at 3:08 pm

    Looks very sleek and would fit in well in the car. We need one of these for driving in the city of Chicago, where you can’t drive and use a handset without breaking the law.

  22. Gabriel J. says

    June 8, 2009 at 2:54 pm

    This would be great for our car! My partner needs one bad!

  23. sarah lehan says

    June 8, 2009 at 2:52 pm

    This is a great prize. (generic comment). My dad would use this to drive safely. He’s not into living dangerously. Thanks.

  24. Aaron B from IL says

    June 8, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    My dad hates talking on the phone while driving and he doesn’t want one of those blue-tooth headsets either for some reason. I think this would be the perfect car accessory for him since it is hands free and he doesn’t have to stick it in his ear.

  25. Alan De says

    June 8, 2009 at 2:28 pm

    That is a great prize. I didn’t even know that Motorola made one of these. This would make it much easier to attend conference calls. Thank you.

  26. Jerold Sauer says

    June 8, 2009 at 1:15 pm

    Just when my phone goes bad. this would be a great replacement

  27. Holly says

    June 8, 2009 at 12:47 pm

    My husband spend a lot of time commuting and I call him frequently and he uses the time to talk to his mom…He would be much safer with this little device on his drives!

  28. Kayce C says

    June 8, 2009 at 12:30 pm

    My mom has bluetooth in her car. I’m sure she’d love to have a speakerphone.

  29. Christine Walker says

    June 8, 2009 at 12:06 pm

    My dad could really use this. He scares the crap out of me when he tries to drive and talk on the phone at the same time.

  30. Lori H says

    June 8, 2009 at 11:52 am

    My husband would love this for Father’s Day. He is always on the phone and when driving his loud Jeep it is hard to hear from the phone’s speakerphone.

  31. Tina Rath says

    June 8, 2009 at 11:36 am

    My husband could really use this. He never answers a phone call while driving and this would be great for him.

  32. Becky McKinney says

    June 8, 2009 at 11:28 am

    We need this here in Washington State. It is now ilegal to talk on the phone while driving.

  33. Jennifer M says

    June 8, 2009 at 11:23 am

    Love it, so much better for chatting while stuck on the freeway. That is something my husband is prone to do already!

  34. Heather says

    June 8, 2009 at 11:15 am

    That is a great product! My husband has so much trouble with his bluetooth ear piece.

  35. Stacy says

    June 8, 2009 at 10:53 am

    Ooh, this is nice. I’ve never seen anything like it before, but it would be so much safer to talk using this than a handset.

  36. carol~ says

    June 8, 2009 at 10:49 am

    Oh my son could use this as he drives all over LA as a computer tech!

  37. Tamara M. says

    June 8, 2009 at 10:34 am

    I said this before but my Husbands commute is long and boring so this would be PERFECT for him.

    He wouldnt have an reason to not let me know he is running late now!!! lol

  38. Melissa Barnes says

    June 8, 2009 at 10:20 am

    This would be a perfect gift for my husband he is on the road a lot with his work and his office and clients call him a lot so if he had a hands free option while driving he would really appreciate this

  39. Paul says

    June 8, 2009 at 9:55 am

    This would make me safer

  40. Veronica Garrett says

    June 8, 2009 at 9:51 am

    I would love to win this for my husband. I know he would love it even though he won’t admit it.

  41. Mary Casper says

    June 8, 2009 at 9:46 am

    my hubby would love this he is on the road a lot

  42. R Hicks says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:26 am

    Pop has been asking for one of these gadgets since last xmas. He will love this

  43. Elizabeth says

    June 8, 2009 at 8:24 am

    My Father-In-Law could really use a new blue tooth. He travels a lot, is on the road a lot, for his job and needs a hands free way to conduct business while n the road.

    We’ll just tell them it’s for the cool features when really we know we’re keeping them safer, lol.

    Many of the states have already or are in the process of making it a law that you have to use a hands free device, it is already a law where I live.

  44. Dan says

    June 8, 2009 at 7:52 am

    This would be a great way to use my cell phone without taking my hands off the wheel.

  45. Nanette Olson says

    June 8, 2009 at 7:18 am

    I would love to have this bluetooth for my own use.

  46. Geoff K says

    June 8, 2009 at 7:01 am

    My dad has the terribly bad habit of talking on his cell phone while driving, and my family just can’t seem to break him of it — winning this terrific speakerphone might just do the trick. It would definitely give us (and fellow drivers, I’m sure!) peace of mind knowing he has both hands on the wheel. Thanks!

  47. Jenny Martin says

    June 8, 2009 at 6:37 am

    That is too funny…dangerous dads…my hubby is a teddy bear–can’t see him being dangerous! But it is dangerous when he texts and drives…wish there was a way a speakerphone could text for him!

  48. joanna smith says

    June 8, 2009 at 6:10 am

    Wow, the features of this incredible Motorola T505 Bluetooth speakerphone are fantastic! This would literally rock my husband’s world because he travels on the road so much for his job and having this would make his work life so much less stressful. Right now when he needs to make or receive calls when he is on the road he has to pull over onto the shoulder of the road to do this. We have laws in our state that you cannot talk on the phone while you drive or you will receive a hefty fine if you are caught. So being the law abiding citizen that he is, my husband spends a lot of time on the side of the road conducting his business calls. Unfortunately the company he works for did not provide him with a bluetooth headset of any kind, and this Motorola T505 Bluetooth speakerphone is even more desirable than a headset, so it would literally take so much stress off of my husbands shoulders! Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

  49. JIMMY says

    June 8, 2009 at 5:20 am

    This looks like one of those communicators from the old Star Trek series. Seriously though. The battery life is awesome and my dad (who still works)would use this. He;s a road warrior and this would be a great addition to his evolution into technology.

  50. Marcia says

    June 8, 2009 at 4:24 am

    Bluetooth technology has come so far in the 10 years since I first heard of it….why didn’t I buy the stock then?

  51. Kirsten says

    June 8, 2009 at 2:20 am

    The way my husband drives he needs all the safety mechanisms, tools and gadgets I can give him. Seriously. And his phone is falling apart so this would be great.

  52. Jennifer gersch says

    June 8, 2009 at 1:34 am

    I love the design of this bluetoooth

  53. AmandaMaria says

    June 8, 2009 at 1:10 am

    Hands free is what my husband needs. HIs little work car is a 5 speed too so he needs somehting he doens’t have to hold onto.

    Thank you!

  54. Megan B. says

    June 8, 2009 at 1:05 am

    This is great because my husband just loves any new technology, and I am a stickler for making sure that he never talks on the phone while driving. It drives me insane when people do that, its just too easy for people to get into an accident. So it would help us both out, thanks for the great giveaway!!!

  55. Abby says

    June 8, 2009 at 1:00 am

    All my dads are gone now. My mom loves speakerphones, however.

  56. Leigh Nichols says

    June 7, 2009 at 11:56 pm

    My husband is ENTHRALLED with gadgets. This would make a perfect Fathers Day gift for him!

  57. victoria howard says

    June 7, 2009 at 11:05 pm

    this is a great safety device

  58. Pam T says

    June 7, 2009 at 10:56 pm

    This would be so helpful for my husband!!

  59. geekbearinggifts says

    June 7, 2009 at 10:13 pm

    My husband hates to use his bluetooth earpiece, but it’s against the law here to use a cell phone while you’re driving unless you can do it handsfree (not to mention dangerous.) Thanks for the generous offer!

  60. simone says

    June 7, 2009 at 10:05 pm

    DH has a stereo bluetooth. Great for music, but scares me as I am afraid he might not hear horns and other warning noises on the road. Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

  61. Angela K says

    June 7, 2009 at 9:48 pm

    I love the idea of having this for hands-free talking! My husband and I always call each other while driving.

  62. Mel says

    June 7, 2009 at 9:46 pm

    This is definitely needed as I don’t often allow any calls when driving and for my dad who isn’t exactly gadget savvy to be able to concentrate on the road rather than fiddling the phone or radio.

  63. tina reynolds says

    June 7, 2009 at 9:39 pm

    i would love knowing my hubby was using this when driving he has a bad habit of talking and driving

  64. Chrysa says

    June 7, 2009 at 9:31 pm

    My husband spends a lot of time driving and I would feel good knowing he had a reliable device to make him safer!

  65. Susan Ledet says

    June 7, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    I like this since it’s hands free and so much safer. I see so many people driving while texting or holding their cell phone.
    Thanks for the great giveaway.

  66. Jennifer Elliott says

    June 7, 2009 at 9:15 pm

    This would be great because cell phone driving frightens me and this would lessen the chance of accidents.

  67. Tammie says

    June 7, 2009 at 9:06 pm

    My husband would like to think this is a “manly-man’s gadget”, but I’d probably end up using it more frequently – so that makes it a win-win gift in my book! ;)

  68. Denise says

    June 7, 2009 at 8:58 pm

    My husband really needs this with his job and the constant calling he deals with. Thank you!

  69. Christy Schultz says

    June 7, 2009 at 8:49 pm

    I think this is a great idea, especially since they just past a bill in my state outlawing talking on handsets while driving.

  70. Deb says

    June 7, 2009 at 8:40 pm

    As I mentioned on another blog post, I often have to do computer tech support over the phone while driving, so having a hands-free gadget would help keep me safer on the road!

  71. Chris says

    June 7, 2009 at 8:16 pm

    Hands free…..this is the greatest…he would believe I love him so much and care about his safety. Really I just want to give him an excuse to call and chat with me.

  72. David S says

    June 7, 2009 at 7:51 pm

    Motorola makes nice stuff. This would be helpful for the highway.

  73. Jammie says

    June 7, 2009 at 7:26 pm

    This would be awesome for my husband. This way he can keep his hands and eyes on the road.

  74. cathleen n. says

    June 7, 2009 at 7:20 pm

    Driving safety is definitely important, but so is clear reception and that non-echo-y or garbled speaker conversation. Talking while driving in the car is now improved with this little gadget, and would I ever love to gift it for the resident chatterbox :) Thanks!

  75. Amy L says

    June 7, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    My husband would LOVE this. He commutes for over an hour to/from work, and does quite a bit of business by phone. Anything that will keep him safer makes me happy!

  76. Catherine says

    June 7, 2009 at 7:07 pm

    Hey, since it’s a speaker phone that means that everyone in the car can get in on the conversation.

  77. Mollie G. says

    June 7, 2009 at 7:05 pm

    I’d like the opportunity to figure out whether I prefer the headset versus the speakerphone “hands-free” mode. I suspect the speakerphone works much better for everyone in the vehicle to take part in the conversation — just have to be concerned about how the device handles road- and wind-noise… Certainly willing to give it a shot!

  78. Forgetfulone says

    June 7, 2009 at 6:51 pm

    I’ve never used one of these blue tooth accessories before, but I think it would come in very handy.

  79. flared0ne says

    June 7, 2009 at 6:47 pm

    You certainly have quite the collection of technology contests for Dad-stuff going on — I wonder if this device would collide with the iPod/iPhone transmitter device your next post over?? The whole ‘hands-free’ speaker-phone thing is much safer than any of the distraction-prone alternatives. Thanks for the chance!

  80. Christine V says

    June 7, 2009 at 6:39 pm

    My husband would love this

  81. Debra F says

    June 7, 2009 at 6:34 pm

    Oh, he’d definitely use this to listen to podcasts,,,but not about sports…he’s a comic book guy. I bet you didn’t know there were podcasts about comic books, did you?

  82. lisa says

    June 7, 2009 at 6:27 pm

    My husband is a lousy driver when he’s trying to talk on the phone. This would be helpful for him.

  86. Cynthia Mercado says

    June 7, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    My husband could use this for his truck.

    My husband just had rotator cuff surgery and holding a phone to his ear is nearly impossible. He would enjoy having a Bluetooth Speakerphone.

  88. sara marcy says

    June 7, 2009 at 4:15 pm

    my hubby wont even use his phone while driving this would be great for him!!!

    nice!

  90. Karen M says

    June 7, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    My husband will not talk on his cell in the car unless it is hands-free. His old “bluetooth” is almost on it’s last legs and needs replacement. This would be awesome for him. Thanks.

  91. Kate says

    June 7, 2009 at 2:48 pm

    I hear these things are pretty awesome. Thanks so much for the great giveaway!

  92. Lee Taylor says

    June 7, 2009 at 2:32 pm

    Great idea!

    Would love to win this!

    My wife is constantly ‘scolding’ me about talking on my cellphone while driving!

    This would make an ‘awesome’ Father’s Day gift for the both of us!

    Thanks for the ‘great’ giveaway offering and good luck to all!

  93. Susan Smith says

    June 7, 2009 at 2:28 pm

    I like this idea so the driver can keep his hands on the wheel while taking on the phone.

  94. Tammy Darling says

    June 7, 2009 at 1:36 pm

    Our phones have bluetooth capability, but we don’t have anything like this to use with them. I think my husband would really like this.

  95. xenia says

    June 7, 2009 at 1:27 pm

    My husband is constantly taking work calls in the car, this would be great for him. Not only would it make his life easier, but I would feel better knowing that he’s less likely to drive off the road while he’s talking!

  96. Kim says

    June 7, 2009 at 12:42 pm

    dude- my husband would LOVE THIS – you have no iiiidea!

  97. Amanda Michalik says

    June 7, 2009 at 12:40 pm

    This would be perfect for my husband. He likes to make calls for our home based business while in the car.

  98. Rachel says

    June 7, 2009 at 12:27 pm

    My husband would love this so he could catch up with me and other family on his long commute home.

  99. Amber says

    June 7, 2009 at 12:04 pm

    Great idea so my dad will stop talking on his cellphone while he’s driving!

  101. Janna Johnson says

    June 7, 2009 at 11:08 am

    This is really neat! Much safer for those of us who use our phone while driving!!

    Wow, that would be really handy for my dad, if it’s loud enough…he drives truck and it’s really hard for him to talk on the phone and drive at the same time!

  103. Elizabeth Dehart says

    June 7, 2009 at 10:38 am

    My husband just relocated to CA. HE would love this because he does not want a ticket!

  104. julieh says

    June 7, 2009 at 10:10 am

    My hubby loves any kind of gadget, but this looks like something James Bond would use, and he would get a huge kick out of that!

  105. Sonya says

    June 7, 2009 at 10:02 am

    This would be great for my hubby, he doesn’t have a headset or speaker phone and the law here is strict!

  106. Angie P. says

    June 7, 2009 at 9:22 am

    Great item…I need one myself (the $40 version just doesn’t cut it). Hubby’s car has built-in Bluetooth, so he’s set, but we’re stuck when in my truck.

  107. Cynthia Sheeks says

    June 7, 2009 at 8:47 am

    Haha! “Mr Mission Impossible” is so my dh too! He really could use this product, since he has to talk while on the go at work. The car charger is a big bonus.

  108. Ivy says

    June 7, 2009 at 7:03 am

    This would be great for my bluetooth-happy hubby. He usually uses a wireless headset, but I think the speakerphone would be much safer (easier to hear any sirens or other road noises).

    Thanks!

  109. Erma says

    June 7, 2009 at 6:34 am

    My hubby would love all the features on this.

    June 7, 2009 at 6:05 am

    I have at least 4 members of the family who would fight for the chance to have this. And to be honest, since I use my cell phone less than all of them, I might have to have a mini-lottery if I would win it!

  112. Pamela Callahan says

    June 7, 2009 at 4:40 am

    They are passing these “Hands Free” laws everywhere. I am sure it will be here in no time so this would make the perfect gift!

  113. Danielle says

    June 6, 2009 at 11:04 pm

    Cali has new hands free law and this would be great for my dad. Plus, he works in construction so his hands are always dirty. You should see that sorry excuse for a cell phone. I wouldnt even pick it up with tongs! ;)

  114. Christie says

    June 6, 2009 at 10:36 pm

    Bluetooth.. hands free. That’s the ticket. They can pretend to be cool but actually be safe.

  115. Vicki Andrew says

    June 6, 2009 at 9:38 pm

    I try not to answer the cell when I am driving but it is always my daughter with instructions for picking her up, this would be great

  116. israel y says

    June 6, 2009 at 9:34 pm

    a perfect father’s day gift! I especially like its StationFinder technology feature.

  117. Katherine G says

    June 6, 2009 at 9:05 pm

    I think having an FM Radio in a headset is weird.

  118. Peggy Miller says

    June 6, 2009 at 9:04 pm

    Bluetooth is great technology. This would be nice to win.

  119. wendy wallach says

    June 6, 2009 at 8:44 pm

    This would definitely keep me from being arrested for talking on my cell phone while driving.

  120. zmama says

    June 6, 2009 at 8:37 pm

    What a cool gadget!! I wouldn’t mind trying this! maybe while going across town with my toddler in tow!

  121. Djp says

    June 6, 2009 at 8:08 pm

    sign me up

  122. renee says

    June 6, 2009 at 8:07 pm

    I love that it is hands free and comes with a charger. If I win this one, I’ll have to buy one for me too!

  123. Sylvia Belle says

    June 6, 2009 at 7:53 pm

    We could use this at our house because hands free is a safety feature.

  124. allan says

    June 6, 2009 at 7:46 pm

    please no more tickets i got win

  125. Alicia says

    June 6, 2009 at 6:54 pm

    This motorola speakerphone is awesome. I never knew such a thing existed. I guess I need to get with the times. It would make driving so much safer. Thanks

  126. Kiersten says

    June 6, 2009 at 6:37 pm

    My husband so needs this. He’s not the greatest driver to begin with, but while talking on the phone? YIKES!

  127. Daniel M says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:37 pm

    great item, easy installation, speakerphone’s a plus

  128. Courtney says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:36 pm

    I love the fact that you don’t have to hold the phone up to your ear! That’s huge for me. I’ve been trying to find a product that my husband would actually use that would make him hands free on the phone. This one looks great!! Thanks for the chance!

    annasmama0702@gmail.com

  129. Mike says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:32 pm

    I’ve always liked the idea of using either a headset or speakerphone while driving, this just makes it all the more easier to do so

  130. jane jakins says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:23 pm

    bluetooth speakerphone

  131. john ferris says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:15 pm

    The speaker is much more convenient and safer than the eae piece.

  132. tung ton says

    June 6, 2009 at 4:48 pm

    is this a throwback to the pager/beeper (oh dear, did i just date myself? when drug dealers/doctors looked important with one?

  133. Benita says

    June 6, 2009 at 4:28 pm

    This is an absolutely fantastic giveaway. Any and every man could use this, especially my husband. Hands free talking (especially to me at home.) And I agree with you, safety above all.

  134. Angela J says

    June 6, 2009 at 4:17 pm

    I can use a new phone, this looks great.

  135. Dawn says

    June 6, 2009 at 4:16 pm

    My husband needs this. He is always on the road and I worry about him trying to hold the phone and drive at the same time.

  136. Denise B. says

    June 6, 2009 at 3:27 pm

    I have a 3 1/2-hour drive each way to pick up my two oldest boys, so I definitely need a hands-free way of talking with those calling me during the day.

  137. Denyse says

    June 6, 2009 at 2:56 pm

    I’d love to have this for driving. It’s so much safer and w/ 3 kids and a husband in the car- I’d feel alot safer.

  138. Karrie says

    June 6, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    I have wanted one of these for awhile. My husband has a 45 minute drive everyday and he is always on the cell phone. this is perfect

  139. Timmy says

    June 6, 2009 at 2:43 pm

    This is a great way to converse without looking like you’re wired up like a Secret Service agent! I think those bluetooth ear clips make people look strange…like they are being GPS’ed, awaiting confirmation from the mother ship to beam them up!

  140. Marica Taylor says

    June 6, 2009 at 2:19 pm

    Oh, this would be great. You wouldn’t have to stick one of the uncomfortable blue tooth headsets in your ear. Sounds like it’s easy to use, too.

  141. Cassandra Berholtz says

    June 6, 2009 at 2:15 pm

    My dad is always on the phone while in the car, not always driving. This would be a wonderful gift for him. Maybe it is something he will actually use.

  142. Janice Whitaker says

    June 6, 2009 at 1:23 pm

    That would be a great fathers day gift.Safe talking!!

  143. PATRIC KRUEGER says

    June 6, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    Great idea that this comes with a charger. And at least you won’t look like Mr. Spock with that weird thing coming out of your ear.

  144. Sonya Sparks says

    June 6, 2009 at 11:43 am

    Wow! Think of all the accidents this could cut out if everyone had one of these. Thanks!

  145. Linda Lansford says

    June 6, 2009 at 11:18 am

    This will help on the road

  146. Mike Weisberg says

    June 6, 2009 at 10:48 am

    i want to win

  147. Jay Baxter says

    June 6, 2009 at 10:33 am

    I think those bluetooth ear clips make people look funny. I think my hubby would feel much more dangerous with this device hidden out of view.

  148. ky2here says

    June 6, 2009 at 10:17 am

    How perfect for safer inattentive driving!

  149. Alka says

    June 6, 2009 at 9:32 am

    I hate driving unsafely or hearing of others drive safely, my hub would appreciate this piece of tech I think cause he talks about bluetooth and stuff hehe.

  150. Jennifer C. says

    June 6, 2009 at 9:24 am

    I would love this for hubby. His earpiece Bluetooth is always dying on him and he likes to chat while he is in the car.

  151. Dani' says

    June 6, 2009 at 9:18 am

    Safer is always good. Dh rode with a friend once and he kept dropping his phone and reaching for it. While speeding of course.

  152. Heather S says

    June 6, 2009 at 8:59 am

    I have never seen this before. It looks very convenient.

  153. Elena says

    June 6, 2009 at 8:48 am

    This would be perfect for my hubby–he has a headset but doesn’t like wearing it. Since he only really needs the hands-free ability in the car, this would be a great device for him! Thanks for the contest!

  154. Ruth Bousquet says

    June 6, 2009 at 8:41 am

    Great gift for anyone, to be on the safe side.

  155. keith james says

    June 6, 2009 at 8:29 am

    ah! an extra hand, what a great idea

  156. Joshua Ryan says

    June 6, 2009 at 7:55 am

    I need one of those. That would be perfect for my job, and my kid on the way!!!

  157. McDuffy says

    June 6, 2009 at 7:54 am

    I do more listening than talking on the phone, so the Motorola T505 Bluetooth Speakerphone would make my drive time alot more enjoyable.

  158. Erin Hill says

    June 6, 2009 at 7:26 am

    My husband would love this! He’s always on the phone in his car, because he’s always late for work. Plus, our city might pass a new law that you can’t use your cellphone in the car. Yikes!

  159. courtney says

    June 6, 2009 at 7:24 am

    This is a great idea!!! :) I think everyone could use one of these. My husband especially, for fathers day.

  160. Lynn H says

    June 6, 2009 at 6:45 am

    My husband has always wanted bluetooth…thanks for the great giveaway!

  161. david basile says

    June 6, 2009 at 6:30 am

    would be the ultimate hands free in the car for medont have to hear what what that noise its louder then you thanks

  162. Alice C says

    June 6, 2009 at 6:05 am

    what a great little toy :0)

  163. Sidney says

    June 6, 2009 at 6:00 am

    Well my dad already has a motorola phone. Now he just needs a bluetooth speakerphone to match! I don’t know, consider the fact that I haven’t done much for my dad, I think this gift would really show my appreciation of him

  164. Kelly says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:56 am

    I need to call momma and let everybody hear her tell me what a dummy i am.

  165. Renee C. says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:34 am

    My husband travels a lot due to the nature of his job. He is constantly getting calls while driving, this would obviously decrease my worrying, and increase his safety. GREAT IDEA for Father’s Day!

  166. linda says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:21 am

    My husband has a bad bad habit of talking on the phone while driving. I dont allow it when I am in the car with him. I hate it. So, he can certainly use one of these. Thank you

  167. Cheryl W says

    June 6, 2009 at 5:16 am

    This would be great! It would cause less accidents if everyone owned one. Thanks!

  168. alicia wallace says

    June 6, 2009 at 4:40 am

    We need this for one of our cars, to take work calls safely.

  169. Sharon Franks-Rivard says

    June 6, 2009 at 4:14 am

    This would be a great Father’s Day Present for our son who needs a hands free bluetooth in his car!! Happy Dad’s Day Gentlemen…

  170. Cynthia C says

    June 6, 2009 at 4:07 am

    Hands free is the safe way to go. Thanks for the chance.

  171. Carol Lawrence says

    June 6, 2009 at 3:52 am

    This would be great for my husband. As he gets older and blinder he scares me enough with his driving. Not having to fumble his cell open would definitely be a plus.

  172. Christina says

    June 6, 2009 at 3:12 am

    Wow, this seems amazing, especially the hands-free part (great for a guy who loves doing many projects) and the FM Transmitter. Thanks for the chance to win it!

  173. Bev says

    June 6, 2009 at 1:38 am

    Hands-free, digital FM Transmitter, and Audio Caller ID–how cool is that?! Thanks for the fabulous contest.

  174. Joseph says

    June 5, 2009 at 11:42 pm

    I just recently took a new sales position where I’m on the road driving 1000 miles a week. The Motorola T505 Bluetooth speakerphone would be a lifesaver. I wouldnt have to keep a earpeice in my ear all the time and I would be able keep my hands free for driving and not fiddling with my cell phone.

  175. c. clemens says

    June 5, 2009 at 9:47 pm

    i want a blue tooth for my hubby for fathers day. it would be great for him he works in the truck all day driving around.

  176. Abby says

    June 5, 2009 at 8:51 pm

    My mom could so use this for her commuting!

  177. Douglas says

    June 5, 2009 at 8:45 pm

    this would be a great gift for my niece

    thank you !!

  178. tammy t. says

    June 5, 2009 at 7:38 pm

    you can always humor him and tell him he’s dangerous and then give it to him to keep him safe. every time he uses it tell him he looks like james bond, who of course is a dangerous guy!

  179. Mark Price says

    June 5, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    Great idea and easy to install!!!!!!!!!!!

  180. Ellen Ring says

    June 5, 2009 at 7:20 pm

    This is a great product. it frees your hands and allows you to drive safer.

  181. Deb K says

    June 5, 2009 at 6:59 pm

    This would be so handy to have on road trips as I don’t even like talking and driving at the same time either :)

  182. Naddez says

    June 5, 2009 at 6:22 pm

    My husband and I talk on his way to/from work all the time. At times his cellphone would go dead, or he needs to hang up before he hit someone. The Motorola T505 Bluetooth Speakerphone would definitely be handy for him.

  183. d.e. manning says

    June 5, 2009 at 6:10 pm

    great contest and hands-free is an absolute must-have in the car due to how dangerous it is on the road when people are distracted!

  184. Erica C. says

    June 5, 2009 at 5:52 pm

    wow this is great! I love that it just clips to the visor

  185. Thomas I. says

    June 5, 2009 at 5:46 pm

    Well, if one were actually a spy then one could be doing both a dangerous & safe activity simultaneously (escaping from evil doers in a car – speedy & reckless driving while keeping your life safe). And if one had a T505 one could give real-time updates to agent XXXXX and perhaps request back-up while all this is happening.

  186. Laura G says

    June 5, 2009 at 5:00 pm

    I would love this for my hubs as he drives on the tollway!

  187. Teresa says

    June 5, 2009 at 4:59 pm

    This is to cool! clipping it on the visor would be so convenient! Hands free, I love it!!

    :) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! :)

    i so want to have one these in my car. mverno@roadrunner.com

  190. Suzanna says

    June 5, 2009 at 4:04 pm

    This would be the only way I will not get in a wreck whilst talking on the phone.

  191. Jean F says

    June 5, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    Oh, goodness. Hands-free would be perfect for the car!

  192. vanessa says

    June 5, 2009 at 3:52 pm

    i like the sleek design of it, it seems like it’s perfect for calls right before he gets home

  193. christopher h says

    June 5, 2009 at 3:16 pm

    we’re still dealing with the “wonderful” new hands free law here in california, this would be a lot better than clipping that thing to your ear

  194. Stephanie V says

    June 5, 2009 at 2:47 pm

    This looks awesome! I hate those things that go in the ear so always use the built-in speakerphone – but it is not very good. Love this!

  195. Heather says

    June 5, 2009 at 2:33 pm

    My husband commutes 45 minutes each way to work and uses some of that commute time on the phone. This device would be terrific for him!

  196. Kathy Scott says

    June 5, 2009 at 2:19 pm

    I think that all states should pass a hands free law.

  197. Margaret Smith says

    June 5, 2009 at 2:12 pm

    My husband drives a truck everyday and since he doesn’t have a hands free phone, will either pull over or call back later when anyone calls. This is such a great idea! I really love the speakerphone capability!
    Thanks so much, this would make a wonderful gift for him.

  198. michael woods says

    June 5, 2009 at 1:28 pm

    My dad does a lot of traveling as a realtor, so he could definitely benefit from this.

  199. Jennifer B. says

    June 5, 2009 at 1:24 pm

    My husband loves to talk on the phone when he drives. He is quite aware that it is taking some of his attention from the road. He’d love this speaker, as it would allow him to keep his hands free.

  200. Jerold Sauer says

    June 5, 2009 at 1:06 pm

    This is a really neat item that I can surely use

  201. John Carr says

    June 5, 2009 at 12:33 pm

    Just got a bluetooth phone and now I need a handsfree bluetooth device. This would be great.

  202. Theresa says

    June 5, 2009 at 12:27 pm

    What a great idea! My hubby is a driver and his Bluetooth ear clippy is the most unreliable little thing. It constantly slips off & is a total pain, this is a great alternative.

  203. Frances Carty says

    June 5, 2009 at 11:59 am

    This would be great for driving around and talking on the phone.

  204. Ann Fantom says

    June 5, 2009 at 11:52 am

    This would be great for my husband who travels a lot. Thanks for offering this giveaway.

  205. mickeyfan says

    June 5, 2009 at 11:31 am

    Oh great, now I have the Mission IMpossible theme music playing in my head! But seriously, this would be great for my husband who is a farmer and often has his hands full of tools or equipment.

  206. Shelley Mitchell says

    June 5, 2009 at 11:24 am

    My hubby is a real estate agent and this would really come in handy for him! Thanks!

  207. James Nickerson says

    June 5, 2009 at 10:21 am

    I hate using my ear bluetooth and have tried others that hang on the visor, this one though looks perfect for my, or anyone’s needs! thanks for the great giveaway!

  208. Sue says

    June 5, 2009 at 9:32 am

    I struggle with the ability to drive and talk at the same time. I’d love this! Thanks for sharing~

  209. shel says

    June 5, 2009 at 9:28 am

    It wasn’t until Christmas that my husband even had a cell phone, now I can’t get him off it. He’s always talking to his dad or friends while he’s driving. With the new cell phone law in effect in my city, you can’t be caught talking with a phone in your hand while driving anymore…but this is perfectly legal.

  210. karenM says

    June 5, 2009 at 9:01 am

    I like the hands free ideal, and being able to clip on the visor.

  211. charline says

    June 5, 2009 at 8:49 am

    This would be great on those long car trips, thats when everyone seems to want to talk to me.

  212. Kayte CookWatts says

    June 5, 2009 at 8:34 am

    Talking on the phone while driving is one of my pet peeves. I wish the whole world could win this prize,lol! If anyone calls me when they are driving, I ask them to pull over and call me back.

  213. Cathy R says

    June 5, 2009 at 8:34 am

    The nice thing about a speaker phone like this is that anyone if the car could join in on the conversation.

  214. Karen says

    June 5, 2009 at 8:09 am

    What a great prize. My husband would definitely use this. I worry he will get a ticket from talking on his phone!

  215. HilLesha says

    June 5, 2009 at 7:55 am

    This is really nice. This would come in handy when driving. :)

  216. Carol says

    June 5, 2009 at 7:43 am

    It’s illegal in our state to talk on the cellphone while driving, and so I’d love to win this. How convenient.

  217. Jill says

    June 5, 2009 at 7:22 am

    At the end of the month the law goes into effect that you have to be hands free to use a cell phone.

  218. 216amyc says

    June 5, 2009 at 6:43 am

    This is a great product- we can talk on the phone and drive and still abide by the hands free and drive law we have here!

  219. sandy says

    June 5, 2009 at 6:40 am

    my husband has been begging for this and he needs it

  220. hminnesota says

    June 5, 2009 at 6:22 am

    Dh went to California for work and his project was right by where Google is. Ever since then, he is literally getting to the point of annoying me, to buy a new phone, just any phone, better than what he has right now..This would be a wonderful gift for him(I promise, I will not keep it.)

  221. Julia SMith says

    June 5, 2009 at 5:05 am

    Great idea. I have seen too many accidents caused when distracted. This should help

  222. Marilyn Wons says

    June 5, 2009 at 5:04 am

    Now this is smart. This is the only way to talk on the phone while driving. It is SAFE!

  223. Jill J says

    June 4, 2009 at 12:13 pm

    why are men/boys so into “dangerous” things??? My son, who is 6, has liked “being dangerous” since I can remember. My toddler climbs on TOP of everything. Well, anything to help keep those dangerous boys a little safer is welcome in my home!

  224. Christin says

    June 4, 2009 at 6:27 am

    Since my husband drives a lot, (30 min commute to and from work), on top of road testing cars in order to fix them (auto tech), this would be super great!
    Thank you for gathering all these wonderful prizes!
    It would be so neat to win something because it is really weird for me to buy him a gift using his own money. (I know it’s OUR money, but he works for it so it’s not the same, know what I mean?)

  225. Dree says

    June 3, 2009 at 11:25 pm

    My husband seriously needs this. We are staying in CA for awhile and it is illegal to use the handset. He has to pull over to use the phone. This would be perfect.

  226. Cindy says

    June 3, 2009 at 11:52 am

    Wow! I would love my husband to be safe while on the road. He is on the road a lot with the business and has all the calls transfered to his Cell. He would love this! I can’t count the number of times I have been in the car with him while he was on the phone, writing down an order and driving! Ahh! It scares me. Safety is a good thing…my kids need their dad.

  227. Aimee W. says

    June 3, 2009 at 11:40 am

    My husband works from a home office…and is on the go A LOT. Since he works from home, much of his business in conducted over the phone. I know he would just LOVE this Plantronics device.
    Thanks so much!

  228. Brandy P says

    June 3, 2009 at 11:25 am

    I always laugh at the people using bluetooth in the cars next to me because they look like they’re talking to themselves…however, I am all for keeping the roads safer and admit that even I should probably be using bluetooth. This would be a neat father’s day gift especially since my dad is always griping about how my husband and I need to not talk on our phone while driving…typical dad advice :)

  229. Sharon H says

    June 3, 2009 at 9:09 am

    This hands free device is very cool. It will mean 1 less thing to hold and an extra free hand to give the 2 year old snacks or toys or whatever during the ride. thanks for the chance to win.

  230. Suzanne B says

    June 3, 2009 at 8:03 am

    This would be great for my boyfriends work truck. Colorado is passing a hands-free law in July, I’d hate for him to get a ticket… he talks a lot.

  231. erica says

    Oooh, this one I like! No clipping on to the person, and no walking around town with an alien-looking thing attached to your ear? Just the car, where it’s best to have both hands at your disposal anyway? I want two!

    Oh gosh I think this would be perfect for Kev. I can’t stand it when he talks on his cell while driving. And when he calls me while I’m driving, I can’t get off the phone fast enough. If he got one, I would have to get one too LOL

    I have not heard about this fantastic Bluetooth
    Speakerphone! How impressive. My husband travels a
    lot for his job. Sometimes, he is gone a week or two at a time! How fun it would be to surprise Jon with these beauty on Father’s Day!
    Thanks for the chance…..Cindi

    My husband just told me about this on our drive home from Ohio yesterday. He thinks it’s a great idea! ..me too.

    This is uber awesome, I am coveting it, but it would be great for a certain guy who spends a lot of his time driving and talking business.

    I think you should have opened this post talking about how men are inept at multi-tasking! And that’s not a put-down. It’s a fact. It really does scare me when my husband even touches his phone while he’s driving. “Pay attention to the road!” I always say and then I end up making all his phone calls and texts for him.

    I think this would be a wonderful gift for my husband because he is a truck driver and always on the road, and we talk quiet often. We looked into buying one but when we went back they were gone.

    We spend lots of time traveling. This prize would be a great – and safe – option for my husband’s many calls.

    This speaker looks great! In my opinion, much more convenient than the ear bud. My Dad would love it! Thanks for offering!

    Sweet! We are constantly taking trips to visit my family that lives 3.5 hours away, and in Washington you can get fined for talking on a handheld phone while driving (if there is also another reason to pull you over, and they can make ANYTHING a reason). This would be SO super convenient.

    It is against the law to talk on the phone without a ear piece in WA so my husband could use this to concentrate on the road and not fiddle with his phone!! You could be saving us from a serious accident or a ticket!

    I think this would be the perfect gift for my hubbby. He can never drive and talk on the phone at the same time. Not that he’s uncoordinated, he just doesn’t like to hold the phone and talk so this would be perfect.

    Ok now this one one definitely be a hubby gift as the reason he barely uses his cell phone is because he drives a lot and doesn’t like to A. hold the phone & drive & B. doesn’t like things in his ears. It would also be cool to have when we are driving upstate, we can call my parents and put them on speaker phone so my son can join in on the conversation.

    I love your husband’s addition…very cute. My husband does always think he might die while talking on his cell phone while driving…this might ease his pain.
    thanks!

    You and your Hubby are cute.

    That looks like a handy device.

    This would be great as the new job my hubby is going to hopefully get soon will have him traveling much more often! His current phone doesn’t hold a charge for even one phone call so he could REALLY use this! I like SAFE!

  247. Becca says

    June 1, 2009 at 1:34 pm

    I’d give this to my husband on the condition that he never uses it while walking through a store or other public place. Those people just look crazy!

    My husband would love this – his phone is always dying on him!

  249. Ashley says

    June 1, 2009 at 10:24 am

    My husband is ALWAYS on the phone! This would be great for him to have. It always cracks me up to see people driving and talking with no phone up to their heads. It looks like they are having a conversation with themselves:) It is a great safety tool, too!

  250. Rachel says

    June 1, 2009 at 8:11 am

    This would be so awesome. My husband hates to talk in the car, so this would make that so much easier.

  251. Tiffany says

    June 1, 2009 at 7:26 am

    I really like that it comes with a charger; my husband is notorious for forgetting to plug in his phone and having it die during the work day!

  252. Clara says

    June 1, 2009 at 7:06 am

    That is exactly what my hubby would use! He’s in and out of his truck all day long, and can’t stand sticking the bluetooth in his ear. I don’t blame him, I can’t stand having something stuck in my ear either.

  253. Erin T says

    June 1, 2009 at 6:42 am

    What cool technology! Bryan and I often talk on his way home before the kids take him over. This would make it safer!

  254. Blessed says

    June 1, 2009 at 5:42 am

    This is a great product and one I haven’t seen before! I think my Dad would really like something like it. My hubby prefers the bluetooth he can stick in his ear!

  255. Annette says

    I think that the danger thing is a man thing but this would be great! My husband loves to talk on the phone, so this would be perfect for him.

  256. susan says

    I think anything that makes them feel “dangerous” and “cool” but also is safe and helpful when used is a great gift for any dad. Now I know how to get my hubby to like something ~ a cool gadget with tons of features that he’ll love. Thanks for the idea!

  257. Kristen says

    I think my husband would have said the same thing… Danger = awesome. But then again, so does bluetooth :-)
