My goodness. Look at all the sexy the Jabra SP700 sports. Bluetooth has never looked so good. Touted as a desktop or car Bluetooth speakerphone, this little guy is going to turn heads. The clip allows it to rest on your desk or clipped to your car’s sunviser.
Of course the $99 speakerphone is loaded with a FM modulator and the most impressive goodie piggybacks off it. When a call comes in while the radio is tuned to the GM modulated station, RDS-compatible stations display the caller ID right on the radio.
The SP700 should ship later this month with a USB charger (got to love USB chargers), car charger, and that sexy visor clip.
Looks like it’s probably pretty discrete which I like. I’ll hold off for it to drop $20-30 though. I’m pretty sure it’s “RDS-compatible” by the way.
I’ve owned the SP700 for the last week and have ran into an issue with the FM modulator capability. If you are using your phone to play music thru the FM modulator it works okay. However if you use your phone to take calls, and no calls come in within 10 minutes the FM modulator automatically shuts down. Your calls are now reverted back to the speakerphone.
I’ve had the SP700 for several weeks now and love it. My only gripe? Despite having an RDS stereo in my car and several compatible phones, the only thing that ever displays on the radio is the word “JABRA” and nothing else.
The system says (audibly) the number of the incoming call and the number is also displayed on my phone, so no big deal…but, I wish it worked as advertised. Besides the coolness factor, it really would make it more usable.
If it would display ID-tag info for songs that are playing from your phone over bluetooth, that would be icing on the cake…
