Recommend a hands-free kit please

Flushed with success at installing giffgaff on my missuses old iPhone 3G can anyone recommend a hands-free kit I can use in the tintop?

Cheers!

nokia ck7-w

works well with iphone.

does voice dialing and voice commands.

only downside is it wont play bluetooth music.

i can drive at 70 mph and have a quiet convo with customers and most dont notice im on the road at all.





Thanks

I used to put the CK 7W into my cars but I got complaints about caller hearing their own voices a lot which is quite unpleasant.

I now use the Parrott MKi9100 or MKi9200 which have double microphones and seem to work very well.

Thanks chaps I hadn't realised they were so dear - I checked out ebay first and saw all the cheapo stuff there

I'm not interested in using it as a music source so a lot of the Parrot functions are superfluous do the cheaper versions with less functions perform as well on hands-free function do you know?

For me hearing my own voice when making calls is off-putting which is why I don't use the iPhone inbuilt speaker-phone so I guess that rules out the more attractively priced CK7W.

Are there any basic models out there which just perform well just as handsfree kit without all the bells and whistles?

Cheers!

Have Parrot 9200, 9100 and Minikit and all are really good.

Not tried any other makes though

I drive a taxi for a living during the night, I am the only one out between midnight and 6am and so answer the office phone (re-directed to my mobile) and drive at the same time. I have used a Plantronics Voyager Pro (over the ear) blue tooth for the last 3 months and so far it has been the best (over the ear) one yet. Half the time any passengers I have in the car think I am talking to them and don't realise I am on the phone and the people on the phone think I am in the office, not in the car. Oh and this blue tooth connects to a Nokia N8.
