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.
Update: While the MOTOROKR T505 features an 18-hour battery, Motorola now has the Motorola T215 with a 36-hour battery.
