BlueAnt S4 Handsfree Speakerphone

Commuter students, or any students driving a car in one of many states that require hands-free phone conversations, need to be safe. Personally, we prefer not to stick tiny devices into our ears, and much prefer a reliable, voice activated speaker. BlueAnt’s S4 fits the bill, and stuffs more features into its svelte, magnetized frame than you’ll know what to do with. For starters, you’ll probably never have to take your hands off the wheel to answer a call or futz with your phone. The S4 reads the name of whoever is calling you, because it has already synced with your phone contacts (if it isn’t a contact, it will read you the number). To answer the call, just say “answer.” If you have a Blackberry or Android phone, you can install an app that will read your text messages and email to you, as well. You can also access movie times, directions, the weather, and news by talking to the S4, which will read back what you want to hear (it uses your phone to dial up Microsoft’s Bing 411 service). The S4 is loud—you’ll hear it over the din of traffic—and battery life lasts for days of use. It automatically syncs with your phone every time you enter your car.

OK. The link only appears if you've won, I guess.

I think the original G15 with the 18 G buttons is a is a better purchase than the G510 Keyboard if one can find it (perhaps second hand). The original cost $60.
