    Bluetooth Phone & accessories- advice sought

    Will need to use a mobile in the car possibly so thinking of getting a bluetooth one. Really just looking for recomendations. Don't need anything too fancy. Any comments on these visor mounted bluetooth accessories would be helpful too

    Anything Sony Erricson or Nokia - so you know it won't fall apart after 5mins I have the W800i and its a decent phone (although looks pretty naff) although for something simpler are easily finable - like the K700.

    I know you've asked for visor mounted handsfrees, lol - but in my experience bluetooth handsfrees aren't brilliant, especially as when your in a car you might as well have a wired kit so you can see the display of the phone and charge it at the same time

    No, don't get an older SE phone The K/T series before the K750/W800 aren't great... The Joypad will piss you off within 5 minutes. The one on the K700 is horrible. Even the W800 one gets on my nerves a little bit although it's much improved.
