Following the earlier release of the MOTOROKR T505 in-car Bluetooth speakerphone, Motorola has trumped itself with the longer-lasting Motorola T215 in-car Bluetooth speakerphone.

While the MOTOROKR T505 allows you to wirelessly connect your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, iPod and other MP3 players with your car stereo for up to 18 hours on a single charge, Motorola has doubled the Motorola T215 to 36 hours of talk time on a single charge or up to 1 month of standby time.
Both have two-watt speakers along with noise- and echo-cancellation technology. The T215, though, also features a dedicated mute button whereas the MOTOROKR T505 does not.

An easy-to-find call button allows you to place calls simply and responsibly while on the road. The Bluetooth accessory also features an adjustable volume control.

Motorola calls the T215 “road tested” and says the in-car speakerphone has been “tested and retested to ensure reliability and durability”.

Motorola says the T215 is designed to “withstand the coldest winters and the hottest summers”.

A sturdy wire clip secures the device to any car’s visor. The clip easily detaches so it can be swapped out simply to another vehicle.

The T215 can be paired with any compatible Bluetooth-enabled cell phone on the planet.

Features

  • Wireless Bluetooth range: up to about 33 feet (Class 2)
  • Bluetooth version: 2.0

    The rechargeable and non-replaceable battery in the Motorola T215 features what Motorola says is its longest-lasting in-car speakerphone battery yet: up to 36 hours of talk time and up to 1 month of standby time.
