New hands-free option for BlackBerry users

Posted: 11 June 2009

The company behind the BlackBerry range of mobile phones has unveiled a new product that could provide users a safer way to talk and drive.

Research In Motion (RIM) has launched the BlackBerry Visor Mount Speakerphone this week, claiming it could be the ideal solution for those who need to communicate while on the road.

The gadget is compatible with a wide selection of RIM handsets including models in the Pearl, Curve and Storm range and utilises wireless technology to provide an in-car hands-free option.

Attaching to the interior of the vehicle, calls and music files can be streamed from the phone to the stereo system of the auto itself and verbal caller IDs are an additional feature.

"This exciting new BlackBerry accessory helps drivers communicate, while keeping two hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road," the firm said.

RIM's BlackBerry Visor Mount Speakerphone is priced at around £69.99.

Does this sound like a safer driving option for BlackBerry users?
