BluAnt, maker of many fine Bluetooth accessories launched the S1in the recent past and CNET’s taken some moments to review it. Sure, we’ve seen gazillions of speakerphones that attach to the visor in your car but this one adds a fairly low price — roughly $69 — A2DP support for streaming your tunes, voice answering, and multipoint connectivity to the mix. CNET liked the price, tiny size, and the call quality, but were down on the volume rocker’s stiffness, and the fact that S1 doesn’t announce the incoming caller’s info. We’re all for music streaming and answering a call by speaking to it, but if you drive a convertible, you may want to look for something in the higher end that’ll handle all the wind noise.

RIM’s been excitedly talking up the virtues of its car visor-mounted speakerphone at every trade show we’ve attended in recent months — and considering how basic of an accessory it is, we can only assume they’ve put together a winner here. The aptly-named Visor Mount Speakerphone connects with to your phone via Bluetooth and offers up to 13 hours of talk time in an ultra-slim package that won’t detract from the interior styling of that soberingly expensive S-Class that you’ve rightfully earned by staying productive on the road — using your BlackBerry phone, of course. See how it all comes full circle? Get it now for $99.99.
