While it becomes more and more prevalent in states across the U.S. to ban talking in a car with a cell phone held up to an ear, Motorola in the MOTOROKR T505 has designed a Bluetooth accessory that not only frees your hands but also pipes music into your car’s stereo system without wires.

    Differentiation in the Marketplace

    The MOTOROKR T505, which was voted among the 100 best products for 2008 by PC World, stands apart from many other Bluetooth accessories for cell phones in that it does much more than just free your cell phone hands.

    With its own speaker and visor clip, it’s designed specifically for the car and to work in tandem with your car’s stereo. The T505 has therefore made itself a cell phone device that’s just as much about piping your handset’s music into your car as it is about being able to talk without your hands.
