I got a great new toy today — the mVox MV900 Bluetooth speaker phone. This little fella uses either Bluetooth or USB to connect to either a PC or a Bluetooth enabled cell phone. The sound quality is excellent. In addition, it has voice command software built into it, which allows me to program spoken word speed dials, and access features on the cell phone by speaking to the speaker phone. It’s got a rechargeable battery good for up to 3 hours of talk time, it will recharge using the USB car adaptor that came with my Blackberry, and it even has a visor clip to stow it away safely up top. What a great little gadget!

I've been looking all over the internet yet it's hard to find a comparison between the Parrot Easy Drive and the mVox mv900 to use for the car. I'm trying to determine which one would have the better sound quality, both for the person in the car and the person they're speaking with. What do you think? Do you have any idea?

Thanks!
I don't know the Parrot Easy Drive. I have been using the mv900 for quite a while now, and I am very happy with it. In terms of sound quality, the array microphone mutes out a lot of the background noise in the car very effectively. The only real complaint I have is that the speaker is quite inexpensive, and easy to overdrive, producing distortion when it's turned up loud.
