One lucky reader will win a MOTOROKR T505! Read on for details.
If you've caught any of my other Bluetooth device reviews (even back to my very first CrackBerry Idol review), you know that I have a certain... dislike of wires. They tangle. They limit and tether your device. Any technological thingamajig that can take the place of those wires is a good one in my book, and the MOTOROKR T505 is a welcome addition to my car.
Motorola MOTOROKR T505 is, for whatever reason, difficult for me to say, the words don't trip lightly from the tongue. The device itself though couldn't be easier to use. After a simple and standard pairing with my BlackBerry, music; podcasts; and phone calls come over the speakers of my car.
Like many newer cars, I can now stream music from my phone - even web services like Pandora - over the speakers in my car, free from the tyranny of wires.
FM Transmitter
The T505 works like any standard Bluetooth speaker phone. The device connects to your phone via Bluetooth and indeed has a speaker within the unit. It's not a great speaker, but it does the job. That speaker is really not meant to be used that often. After all, the T505 has a much better feature up its sleeve.
Connecting the device to your car's stereo is done by using the device's short-range FM transmitter. The transmitter uses a good bit of power to function, so it's turned off by default. A quick press of the button in the back changes that, and the device announces the FM radio station it will use.
The T505 is sometimes good at picking a good radio station to use, and sometimes it is not. You need a frequency that doesn't already have a radio station using it. Even weak signals can cause static and hissing in your speakers as two transmitters (one nearby and the other far away) battle for the frequency. A touch of the button on the back of the T505 changes the frequency in use. Longer car rides will require more frequent adjustment. I wonder if the unit would be better suited with a more powerful transmitter, but I imagine that the relatively weaker signal makes for better battery life.
A2DP and phone
Like all of my favorite Bluetooth devices, this one supports A2DP. This Bluetooth profile allows the T505 to control media functions on your smartphone. Using the controls of the device clipped to your sun visor, you can play; pause, and skip tracks forward and back. The buttons are large enough and well placed to be used in the dark and without taking your eyes from the road.
Phone features are, of course, a big part of what the device can do. A simple press of the large button on the left starts the phone's voice commands (and answers incoming calls). Voice commands have been a part of BlackBerry smartphones for a long while now; chances are, your phone supports it. Through the built in voice recognition in your phone, you can make any number of calls completely hands free.
Incoming audio from your call is piped through the car's speakers, letting you hear your caller in exquisite detail. The audio pickup for your voice is through a tiny port at the top of the T505's enclosure. Listening to the audio of a test call, the microphone seems to pick up audio from a limited area, acting like a condensing microphone. This is a very good thing in the noisy environment of a car.
In Conclusion
What was once possible only through expensive receiver units and professional installation, I can now achieve with this small box, the Motorola MOTOROKR T505, clipped to my sun visor. With the press of a few buttons on the device, I get streaming stereo sound beamed out from my BlackBerry to the T505 which then plays it on my car's audio system. Phone calls are routed to the car's audio as well. All in all, the T505 allows your phone to integrate with your car. All without a single wire in sight.
Contest: Want to get one of these for free from ShopCrackBerry.com? Just leave a comment to this review and tell us how you would use the MOTOROKR T505 in your life. Contest ends this Sunday at midnight PST. Please only leave a single comment. One lucky winner will have this device shipped directly from ShopCrackBerry.com.

Woohoo, sign me up!
webby241 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:13 pm
my car 'had' bluetooth built-in, but the prior owner put in a 3rd party stereo and now I have a useless bluetooth button on my steering wheel. This would be perfect.
thehairlesscat Aug 1, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Want! I would use it to make phone calls as I work on the road all day, and to play music from my Playbook with my BluBridhe Mini-Jack!
mikehart85 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Yes, please!
papped Aug 1, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Would be great for making bluetooth calls on the go
SCPanther13 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:17 pm
I rarely make use of all the music I have stored on my BB just because I'm not one to want to walk around with headphones on. This gadget would allow me to easily enjoy my music or other audio files during my daily commute.
Thanks for the opportunity to win one.
Key_Reign Aug 1, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Bought one of these for my wife last christmas. It work's great! Now I need one for my car. Crackberry, hook me up!
stvngzzl Aug 1, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Great review! My wife and I got one (earlier version) for xmas one year and, like my Father-In-Law, been jealous ever since.
swiedom Aug 1, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Sound nice. Thanks!
ardew Aug 1, 2011 at 2:20 pm
My wife could use this in her car, with two 1 years olds she needs hands free as much as possible.
ericrangel76 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:20 pm
This is so cool! I would use it to stream music from one of the music apps.
1rico1 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:21 pm
I would use it to make calls from the road to make me more productive, and use it to call to see if the beer store is open today. ...lol.
john_v Aug 1, 2011 at 2:22 pm
This would be extremely handy. Driving is about the only time I have to listen to podcasts, and so this would really fit the bill. Plus then I could still listen while my kids play with my phone.
Thanks for the chance to win!
andrewmcwhirter Aug 1, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Amazingly amazing'o-roony! Me please!
mohawk apple Aug 1, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Would love this. Thanks
kpbutton Aug 1, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Very impressive accessory.
cvlucero Aug 1, 2011 at 2:24 pm
This would be very cool!
dakid72 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:25 pm
this would be a great product as i am using wires right now to feed into the aux jack on my head unit but it can be a bit annoying when i have to make some turns and my phone falls out of the cup holder or falls off of the seat or whatever, this would allow me to keep it in holster on my hip and stream away.
Thanks in advance CrackBerry , ShopCrackBerry, and Motorola!
Five50What Aug 1, 2011 at 2:26 pm
with the Motorola T505, I won't have to talk on my phone illegaly!(while driving)
fresh77 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Would love to have one!!! My current "wired" hands free is great to keep my eyes on the road while I drop and pick up my baby son from daycare, now enter this bluetooth solution! Perfect!! I want!!!
rappadappa77 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:26 pm
I would definitely like to use this in my car, i appreciate the opportunity!
kmbauer Aug 1, 2011 at 2:26 pm
My BB Visor Mount is dead. I could really use this replacement.
gord888 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:27 pm
So, how well does it filter out engine noise.? My alpine unit sucks, all ithe other person hears is my motor.
IvanAMANation Aug 1, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Hey Joseph, do the voice calls play on your cars stereo system?.. Sign me up for the contest, please? I've been looking for the perfect device for these features, but they were too expensive. My Wife uses all my money :(
TheWait_IsOver Aug 1, 2011 at 2:29 pm
no more holding the phone to my ear to talk while I'm driving! ...and I can finally listen to my BB playlists in thr car!! Yes!!!
jfs101 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Sign me up...
johnmarki Aug 1, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Could I be that lucky winner? Please....
froussy Aug 1, 2011 at 2:32 pm

more safe in a car!
thx
Chantlaxx Aug 1, 2011 at 2:32 pm
This would be amazing. Count me in
wclement7 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:33 pm
i would take one
treybon Aug 1, 2011 at 2:33 pm
I've been looking at this Moto product for a long time. Based on your review I'm ready to step up, but if you send me one for free it would be all the better. I'll be able to stream my Tune In Radio selections (OTR) on my car speakers rather than drive with one earpiece in.
ggap10 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:34 pm
i would use it to make calls and listen to music on my phone....i would love it...and it would safe too...
thatsteveguy Aug 1, 2011 at 2:34 pm
I'd use this...by giving it to my wife. She needs a way to play her iPod through the car.
SRR500 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:34 pm
I've wanted one of these for a long time. My pickup has only an am/fm radio and sometimes there isn't anything on that I want to listen to.
jborfeo Aug 1, 2011 at 2:34 pm
This would be great for rocking out on the commute to and from work!
dewey32399 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Driving 45,000 miles a year and on my 9700 all day, this would be a welcome addition. Thanks crackberry!!!!!!
pdl2mtl90 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Make it a lot safer to conduct business in my car. Thanks Crackberry!
sennmj Aug 1, 2011 at 2:38 pm
that would be perfect for the new law taking effect in my town!!!!
CLTrujillo Aug 1, 2011 at 2:38 pm
I'd give it to my mom. She'd love it :)
The_Adventist Aug 1, 2011 at 2:38 pm
I have multiple phones in the car. This would help me be more legal.
somainer Aug 1, 2011 at 2:43 pm
... This would be awesome for my Torch!
hellokurva Aug 1, 2011 at 2:45 pm
I've been wanting one of these forever now! I love listening to my phone's streaming music and it would be nice to use navigation with this device :)
jvictor77 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Great addition for my vehicle! Count me in!
togardergrosse Aug 1, 2011 at 2:46 pm
Me...want...this... :D
joeberrymomma Aug 1, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Wires everywhere. Currently use an MP3 tape player plug-in. Great for music, Pandora, etc. but oh, the wires!!! Right there with you on that one. And when a call comes through, I would have to unplug the wire from my phones 3.5 jack. Clearly a ROAD HAZARD!!
Wireless is the only way to go! Would really like this device. :)
FIVEFIFTYWHAT Aug 1, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Yes! I wanna be able to talk on the phone while I'm driving!
kfroese Aug 1, 2011 at 2:48 pm
I have the classic BlackBerry VM605 with which I am quite happy. But it is in my car. Not in my wife's minivan. Definitely need a second one so I don't have to keep remembering to swap it out - plus, my wife's phone could probably use it too!
bmmcpeek Aug 1, 2011 at 2:51 pm
I would love it to play music from my Storm 2 or PlayBook through my car speakers since my car doesn't have a AUX in jack. Also for hands free talking on the phone.
Abrante Aug 1, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Yes!
Crude Berry Aug 1, 2011 at 2:54 pm
One of these would make life so much easier.
zenfloater Aug 1, 2011 at 2:54 pm
Would be great for making bluetooth calls on the go
bluedragon1971 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:55 pm
I can't seem to find a bluetooth headset thats works with my glasses or doesn't make my ear itch. I would love to win this.
Jassal2008 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:55 pm
i would use this to rock my music in my car for the first time ever it would be so awesome if i got this
MXBerry Aug 1, 2011 at 2:57 pm
I definitly need this one cause i have a lot of music on my BlackBerry and i spend to much time on my car! Taking calls on the go would be great too!!!!
blackmoe Aug 1, 2011 at 2:58 pm
I'd love one of these!
PostMortem Aug 1, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Neat, sounds like a bit more features than the device I currently use.
johnnybe2010 Aug 1, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Pick me !!!
I hate wires too... My wife´s car don´t have a built-in bluetooth, so if i win this, i do not need to buy a new car !!!
Thanks CrackBerry.
Jean-luc_Picard Aug 1, 2011 at 2:59 pm
I would love one of these. Lots of music on my phone, and lots of in-car phone calls. Pick me, I'll put it to good use :P
tedescop Aug 1, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
scottaco Aug 1, 2011 at 3:00 pm
I'm currently using a cassette tape adapter that was previously used for playing cds from a discman in my car. On a whim, I plugged it into the earphone jack on my Curve and it worked! I suppose the MOTORKR would save me the embarrassment (and tangles.) Seriously, my dash looks like it threw up black spaghetti.
mmcpher Aug 1, 2011 at 3:01 pm
I use my Torch with my car's sync system, but if I want to listen to podcasts, audio books, streaming or "native" music, etc., I wind up using the 3.5 jack to the car sync 3.5 jack and it works but not to answer calls. So I wind up having to switch on and off my BT headset because not everything meshes. This looks like the ticket.
rich007007 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:03 pm
I would actuallly use it to stream musuc in our boat. That way I dont need to get a new radio with an aux in. Thanks CB!
gregs87 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:04 pm
I am in.
danp2000 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:04 pm
I would love to win one. I spend all day in my car and to be able to easily stream music to my radio would be a great bonus.
arturox Aug 1, 2011 at 3:05 pm
I always forget my hands free at home, this would be very usefull for me
bowlman323 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Need it bad
Jimberry Storm Aug 1, 2011 at 3:11 pm
I would use it in my Wrangler...when the top is down I might as well have my phone off!!!! Thats right I go topless with the storm...lol
deflep Aug 1, 2011 at 3:11 pm
The laws are changing here in September so I will be in need of 2 such great devices. This would make one!
wayoung Aug 1, 2011 at 3:11 pm
I would use it for passengers to listen to music or video
ZeUgly Aug 1, 2011 at 3:11 pm
I spend almost 3 and a half hours everyday on the road, so it'll do miracles paired with my Torch. Count me in.
jman0829 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:13 pm
I want it to my car because my bluetooth headset is nor working and this would be amazing to make phone calls on the road. Please crackberry!!! :)
thatMikeguy Aug 1, 2011 at 3:15 pm
She has small ears so no wireless headset works. Phone features of this device are perfect. She also has amaing music on her BB which would sound amazing on her car stereo. Fingers crossed on this one.
grovee Aug 1, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Nice! I would love this!
gregerator Aug 1, 2011 at 3:18 pm
I currently use my old 2gb iPod with tape adapter, or a CD, or tape, or BB with tape adapter, or the radio. Lots of shifting, unplugging, replugging, etc. For phone calls, sadly, I'm still using my speakerphone. The MOTOROKR T505 would really help me out, clean it up, and make my phone calls legal :O Thanks for the contest!
Tigerr Aug 1, 2011 at 3:19 pm
I've ot bluetooth in my car, but the wife's doesn't. Having this in her car, would let me have my car back, lol.
gtamhankar Aug 1, 2011 at 3:20 pm
I would love to have one for making calls and listening to pandora!
zoomlink1 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:21 pm
This would make life easier for me.
arkaroola Aug 1, 2011 at 3:21 pm
I would love to play tunes from my bb while driving.
Kingkracker Aug 1, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Right up my alley. Yes please!
jag8826 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:23 pm
I would LOVE this! Count me in.
bkhouri80 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:23 pm
I'd use the Motorola MOTIROKR T505 to losten to my PlayBook and BB handheld usic and also for handsfree. This would be great on long trips as I'm not familiar with all the local stations on route to the destination.
Hairbear1954 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Handsfree is great, but wire free is even better! This would be a sweet addition to my car and Torch!
bluegreen1965 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Oh yeah please sign me up. My commute may be getting longer due to getting a different job soon.
mikeplus1 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:26 pm
Spend a lot of time driving in my car fighting busy traffic around Chicago and could really use one of these for hands free calling, especially since it is illegal here to use non-hands-free cell phones. ;)
BrianZ3 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:28 pm
This would be awesome.. I use so many different cars that I have always been stuck with wired headsets..
snezerka Aug 1, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Great product...would love to have those features in my car without any wires!!
Shekeese Aug 1, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Today is my lucky day!
Curly62 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:32 pm
Need to be able the stream Pandora in both cars, thanks...
petermdunn Aug 1, 2011 at 3:32 pm
I have a plug-in transmitter at the moment, which only allows me to play audio. I'm currently looking for a good bluetooth headset / speaker. To win one would be great!
bustermin Aug 1, 2011 at 3:32 pm
Would sure make it easier to do business while in my vechicle.
rob5692 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:32 pm
This could be just the thing required with the changes in local laws
PiotrJot Aug 1, 2011 at 3:33 pm
Would use it mostly for the phone calls. My BT headset is coming slowly to an end, with the battery hardly getting through the half of my usual routes:(
deltadiva2 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:38 pm
I'll take one!
tropikyle Aug 1, 2011 at 3:49 pm
This would be perfect for my long commutes in the morning and afternoon.
mingus007 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:49 pm
About to move from a car w/built-in BT to one w/o (hey...the economy is a scary thing these days!). Count me in, and thanks for the opportunity, CB! (Now...about that yet-to-be-released 99xx...)
dadymon Aug 1, 2011 at 3:50 pm
looks real cool in the video. Would love to have one.
CrackUK Aug 1, 2011 at 3:50 pm
That's one device with mouthwatering features I'd love to get.
disk0 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:51 pm
I would love to use this in my car!
poolrookie78 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:52 pm
I would love one so I won't have to risk getting a ticket by talking on my phone while driving. I pull over now to talk would be nice to go handsfree
spursbb Aug 1, 2011 at 3:54 pm
These devices are great! I would use it for phone calls and to listen to my music over the FM frequency.
Accidental Post Aug 1, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Throwing in my hat......I'll take it.....
Dak79 Aug 1, 2011 at 3:59 pm
This would be great for my commute to and from work with my 9650. Hand free and wireless would be a great pair.
sfmccallie Aug 1, 2011 at 4:03 pm
This would be very handy. Hands on the wheel and eyes on the road all while talking or listening to music...what's not to love?
Jay1CAV Aug 1, 2011 at 4:04 pm
I could really use this.
rdy78 Aug 1, 2011 at 4:04 pm
have a trip to vegas coming up for my bday would love to have this for the drive
beebea Aug 1, 2011 at 4:05 pm
I presently use an FM transmitter that I have to plug into my dash's 12v cigarette lighter. If my girlfriend wants to charge her phone, I either have to stop my music and swap it out for the car charger or bring my USB cable to attach to the FM transmitter. Cables everywhere!
If I were to win this, it would free up the 12v port for her to charge her phone while I stream my music wirelessly and uninterrupted!
BTheKing Aug 1, 2011 at 4:10 pm
This is awesome! I just upgraded my memory card on my phone to 32gb so I could load more music on to it so that I don't need to use my ipod and have been looking for a device like this for my blackberry since my car doesn't have an aux cord. I'm done using my ipod with an fm transmitter and this would be perfect to help me complete my set up in my car! Great review sir! Well done!
Scooter625 Aug 1, 2011 at 4:13 pm
This would be great. It would work better than the speakerphone at keeping me legal while I talk and drive.
Erievon Aug 1, 2011 at 4:14 pm
My F150 is one year older then when they started putting Sync in them. This would go a long way towards easing that pain....
ckhow Aug 1, 2011 at 4:15 pm
I would use it in my car of course!!!!!
stranger99 Aug 1, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Want.
bzbeez Aug 1, 2011 at 4:18 pm
this gadget will help me become a safer driver!!!
gregsuko Aug 1, 2011 at 4:21 pm
This would be icing on the cake for my carputer setup in my truck.
waiting4rim2catchup Aug 1, 2011 at 4:23 pm
This would go great with my future Playbook and future Bold 9930!
ilabelu Aug 1, 2011 at 4:25 pm
oh, that would be sooo much better than the iTrip i'm using. that plus the charging cable...what a rat's nest. i would be happy to win this, but as eeyore says, "i never win anything."
DeeLishusOne Aug 1, 2011 at 4:27 pm
Ummmm....yes!
teamryan15 Aug 1, 2011 at 4:28 pm
i would use this for my commute to work
Sebasnado Aug 1, 2011 at 4:28 pm
I need this!
kristapins Aug 1, 2011 at 4:29 pm
I would use it to make phone calls as I work on the road all day!!! HOpe I win, really need this
17.michal Aug 1, 2011 at 4:30 pm
Avoid getting "Distracted Driving Tickets"? that's a good purpose I think...
Takhis Aug 1, 2011 at 4:35 pm
This could be so useful to me, my jobs keeps me driving most of the day and this gadget could make my life much better. Beside using it to speak while driving I could also get rid of the iPod i got to listen music and the most important part is that this could actually save my life... I live in Venezuela and we have an huge rate of BlackBerry Smartphones stolen from people in traffic all days (I've seen many people get mugged and heard stories of ppl getting killed)
Hope i can win this... but it's already in my bday wishlist
snokyguy Aug 1, 2011 at 4:35 pm
having to depend on my girlfriend downloading podcasts to her ipod nano, then remembering the fm transmitter for our many many traveling trips is a huge nuisance. this would go a long way in keeping me up to date on NPR podcasts and getting me my pandora fix in the car!
Innerchild Aug 1, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Would love to be able to listen to the music on my phone through the car speakers... that would be awesome, not to mention being a safer driver by talking handsfree! Thanks for the review!
MattBerry08 Aug 1, 2011 at 4:43 pm
This would be great; no wires, hands free plus streaming potential, and way cooler than the headsets. I'd love one!
sickbird Aug 1, 2011 at 4:43 pm
This should work great for streaming music and podcast listening in my older vehicle. It has to sound better than the hiss of a cassette tape adapter. Maybe the extra usage will put me in the top 5% of AT&T unlimited data users!
digicon Aug 1, 2011 at 4:43 pm
I sure could use a new T505 ! " I want to be the first one on my block, with a confirmed kill ! "
Paul Aug 1, 2011 at 4:46 pm
I too would love one, please.
kjjb0204 Aug 1, 2011 at 4:54 pm
This thing is 3 years old - pretty long in the tooth. There are better choices these days like the BlueAnt S4 with vlingo voice integration. This moto thing is old technology.
04carmines Aug 1, 2011 at 4:54 pm
No more Ipod in my car!
nomi1978 Aug 1, 2011 at 4:54 pm
I wouldn't mind this unit to put it in my other car, but my BlackBerry Visor Mount is pretty reliable as well.
Kerzhan Aug 1, 2011 at 4:58 pm
I spend a lot of time on the road now, in different vehicles... this would go well with the 9700 I just got an extended battery for!
tharnet Aug 1, 2011 at 4:59 pm
This would be awesome because of my inability to disconnect from my berry while driving. Now this will be illegal in my city :(
brades Aug 1, 2011 at 5:00 pm
Would be awesome to stream TuneIN Radio :)
s_brune Aug 1, 2011 at 5:01 pm
I have an older vehicle without an audio jack or Bluetooth capability. One of these units would be a much more cost effective solution than upgrading the audio system in the vehicle. Especially since I only plan on keeping the vehicle another 2 years.
Altarocks Aug 1, 2011 at 5:10 pm
I've got an old car without an accessory port. This would finally let me hear my 15GB of music in my car!
RVVillesis Aug 1, 2011 at 5:14 pm
I love this device! I love how it automatically pauses music when I make/receive a call, then automatically un-pauses after the call. My wife got me one for Christmas, and I haven't used my BT headset since. She has a longer commute than me, so if I win one, I know she could use this in her car to listen to music from her BB and make/receive calls through her car's speakers too.
PanaSama Aug 1, 2011 at 5:16 pm
Would love to have one, nice review Joseph.
SamWilli Aug 1, 2011 at 5:20 pm
I would definately make use of this little device as I do not have a handsfree in my car and the FM transmitter is def an advantage as I am always listening to the music on my phone with the headset.
carbon98accord Aug 1, 2011 at 5:22 pm
This would make my daily commute so much more enjoyable! Finally...Pandora in the car!
HighwayBob Aug 1, 2011 at 5:22 pm
I'm on the road alot. And I love listening to podcasts in the car - that's often the only time I get to listen to them. This would be a fantastic way to do that and take phone calls when they come in as well!
the brother Aug 1, 2011 at 5:23 pm
tell us how you would use the MOTOROKR T505 in your life...
firstly, awesome review, Joseph! the editing in your video was excellent and so was your music selection. can you send me that incoming ringtone? very slick.
i would use this to stream my mp3s from my phone over the car stereo! that is one thing i am missing, an audio-in jack :(
thanks for the opportiunity to enter this contest!
the brother
CigarDad Aug 1, 2011 at 5:29 pm
I still use the plug in ear piece that I got with my BB9000 when I am in the car. This would make life much easier.
virus786 Aug 1, 2011 at 5:35 pm
I'd use this in the car, then I can finnaly stop having cds!!!!
jimread1949 Aug 1, 2011 at 5:38 pm
this will help me keep my driver license
edthebudman Aug 1, 2011 at 5:41 pm
I always like winning contests and this one would help me get my music on my car stereo!
mvm549 Aug 1, 2011 at 5:45 pm
I dont have an aux input and have been dying to have something like this! Sat radio doesn't cut it anymore. Could put this to good use. Thanks for the giveaway!
AFriske Aug 1, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Looks nifty.
MattDub22 Aug 1, 2011 at 5:56 pm
LETS DO IT!
miguelo#cb Aug 1, 2011 at 5:57 pm
I will use it everyday to avoid those expensive tickets!!
denranga Aug 1, 2011 at 6:04 pm
This would be great for answering calls while in the car, radio features are an added bonus. Would love to have one of these.
jordan559 Aug 1, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Wow this is a sweet device. I really need one to be able to listen to my music as well as to be able to talk on the phone hands free which is the law in CA. I hope to win this contest. Thanks for the chance Crackberry.
Brianjax Aug 1, 2011 at 6:13 pm
My car does not have any built in blue tooth, So a device such as this one would be an excellent addition and big convenience to my life. I am having so much fun exploring all the ways i can use my playbook and this is something i would defiantly love to be able to experience. - Brian
painfulleap1 Aug 1, 2011 at 6:20 pm
I would like to be this lucky winner.
How would I use it?
I would use it in my car of course. But I wouldn't stop there. I would throw it near my computer while I'm not out cruising around town.
Hands free calling would be perfect while gaming on those rainy nights.
flopper Aug 1, 2011 at 6:49 pm
I'd love this, to be able to make/take phone calls while driving and for streaming music.
rac9171 Aug 1, 2011 at 6:57 pm
looks and sounds great..im on the road all the time and would really love one
IronYam Aug 1, 2011 at 7:01 pm
Looks cool. Hook me up, CrackBerry!
Devedander Aug 1, 2011 at 7:09 pm
This is exactly what I am looking for!
callmeforge Aug 1, 2011 at 7:11 pm
I need to win this for my wife!
vecharo Aug 1, 2011 at 7:14 pm
I would use it on my ride to and from. With a 3 hour commute each way, I use my car ride to keep in touch w/ friends and family. In addition, I would use it to play music since the radio is not always the way to go.
hitomi_07 Aug 1, 2011 at 7:16 pm
i want it too!
Sergio Adams Aug 1, 2011 at 7:18 pm
wow nice one! i'm working as driver and this would be really nice to have. cheers
TheSaltyLime Aug 1, 2011 at 7:40 pm
wow! There are so many uses for such a gadget like this. First the obvious "Listen to music in the car and make hands free calls". but what about using it at home for connection to the stereo to stream turntable.fm in the background while playing Comb Over Charlie on the couch with the playbook? or how about to make wireless headphones out of those old am/fm headphones you bought at Radioshack in the 80's? The uses are endless!!! Would love to win one of these.
alantan Aug 1, 2011 at 7:31 pm
With Motorola MOTOROKR T505, I would dig out all earlier Crackberry Podcasts and start listening to them again when I'm on the road. :)
Iz Aug 1, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Might be nice to try this out...maybe make a safer drive O)
allergy Aug 1, 2011 at 7:45 pm
EPIC! I could finally replace my now obsolete cassete player with a state of the art bluetooth fm player. Yeah! Do you reckon that little piece of magic could be slotted right in that opening? Not only that, but with one of these guys, I'll make the roads safer ;) No more talking with one hand on the steering wheel and the other trying to hide the fact that I'm driving with the phone stuck to my ear (You know what I'm talking about, we all had our moments of trying to look innocent at the wheel) And my old father who refuses to get a headset, well, now he'd hear a phone-call through the truck speakers! Brilliant!! Pulling the "I can't hear you" card wont be appropriate anymore.. muhahahahaha *cough* *cough* Right.. Well..
Thanks for the consideration, and the wonderful contest!
dagda1 Aug 1, 2011 at 7:47 pm
I get calls all the time while I am driving. Now I could answer some. Thanks.
crohns Aug 1, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Can you say sweet!!! Go Gang Green!!!!
Bonesn Aug 1, 2011 at 7:54 pm
this would make life easier
Ekilla Aug 1, 2011 at 7:55 pm
id love one of these! please pick me crackberry! you guys are the best forum ever! id use this to for any emergency accidents if i get into any and call 911 for help. thanks
arisham Aug 1, 2011 at 8:08 pm
this device is a great add-on. I can't use bluetooth device as my ear will feel uneasy and pain..this device will help me receiving calls while driving...
kuleke Aug 1, 2011 at 8:14 pm
I have to connect my pb to the car through an 'aux' 3.5mm port at the moment. Its not great cause I cant change tracks and I have to keep the pb in an awkward place...with this, I'd be complete!! Please crackberry...pleeeease :D
steviebigv Aug 1, 2011 at 8:16 pm
I've used a T505 for the past 2 years and love it! Wife keeps stealing it so would love one for her car too!! :)
Fenlenus Aug 1, 2011 at 8:20 pm
I transfer product between stores for my company, 125 stores encompassing the entire state, I'd use the hell out of this thing driving product around. :D
beanctr10 Aug 1, 2011 at 8:30 pm
would love to win this
avsb514 Aug 1, 2011 at 8:31 pm
this would be awesome, we have to use hands-free in most areas were i live. i would love to have this!!!
jonholmes Aug 1, 2011 at 8:39 pm
Sign me up!
Truckswain Aug 1, 2011 at 8:44 pm
looks great!
wobly Aug 1, 2011 at 8:57 pm
This would be great for using on post!
jdub20 Aug 1, 2011 at 9:13 pm
The Winner!
moshpitpal Aug 1, 2011 at 9:38 pm
I would use this to keep both hands on the road. That would be super cool if I won. Thanks!
jvdb Aug 1, 2011 at 9:39 pm
Yes, please.
anhtuan87 Aug 1, 2011 at 9:51 pm
I would like to use this device to avoid getting a ticket and save my life from accident because of talking on the pone while driving...^_^
4abetterworld Aug 1, 2011 at 10:03 pm
This would be perfect!! Been looking for something like this!!
tazish Aug 1, 2011 at 10:06 pm
It would let me talk safely to my kids while on the road. Oh yeah and play some Kick A$$ tunes as well.
therapyreject174 Aug 1, 2011 at 10:17 pm
I'd give it to my dad. He takes a lot of calls while on the road, but he can't stand using headsets. I would love to win and give it to him so I can break him out of the habit.
mikelcal Aug 1, 2011 at 10:35 pm
I'm not sure if i entered yet...But i'd love one of these
gilmanhlee Aug 1, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Half of my work is done calling while driving.
The times when I'm not on call, I listen to lectures/sermons.
I don't have AUX jack so this will very much help me in these two areas.
dpolletta Aug 1, 2011 at 10:51 pm
Count me in please, this would be great in my car!
technowiz95 Aug 1, 2011 at 11:04 pm
I'm on road trips ALL the time and I've been shopping around for something like that for a while. Hope I win!!
Cazurela Aug 1, 2011 at 11:11 pm
This would be the ultimate tool for me! The hospital is a 45 minute drive from home, so I could order exams, ask the nurses for information about the patients, etc etc and get a lot job done beforehand while I listen to my playlists on my Torch! (Old car, no aux input jack on the radio :( ).
Crackberry help me save some lives here!!!!
Cheers
tjdevine Aug 1, 2011 at 11:19 pm
im in a rental car 3 days a week. would very much enjoy this product and put it to great use. hands free com with clients would be great. tired of the ear piece.
Shamwari Aug 1, 2011 at 11:56 pm
I would really love this for my car
harist3a Aug 2, 2011 at 12:23 am
Would be great for making bluetooth calls on the go...
jaspergrizzly Aug 2, 2011 at 12:45 am
This would be great. I would use it to play my music from my Torch to my car stereo. Sweet.
MeanieBeanie Aug 2, 2011 at 1:22 am
Would be a welcome addition to my car interior.
Brainpowered Aug 2, 2011 at 1:32 am
I had generally been using an FM tuner to stream music and a bluetooth headset to take calls from the car. Having to tether it to my Torch with an audio cable to the FM tuner and using a bluetooth headset with glasses on is a pain. I had no idea this kind of device existed outside of those already built into those newer cars! I have a trip planned in sept for a roadtrip to Minneapolis, it's something I will definitely look into picking up!
Bjblondie58 Aug 2, 2011 at 1:38 am
I want one! Good luck everyone
ArgoFX Aug 2, 2011 at 2:55 am
Cool. I would like to win one. this would definitely add a new capability to my car :)
kidkamel Aug 2, 2011 at 3:22 am
this would be an awesome addition in my car
raino Aug 2, 2011 at 3:24 am
I don't have an aux port or a tape player, so this would such an awesome way to play music off my BB :)
psiclne Aug 2, 2011 at 4:11 am
I would use it in my car to listen to my bbscanner app, so i know where all the popo's are at
Drawde Aug 2, 2011 at 4:36 am
Would be using in my car to and from work......would also put in my work vehicle for tunes ;)
markettantrik Aug 2, 2011 at 4:42 am
My brother currently fiddles with a bluetooth ear dongle while driving. This product would be a fantastic gift to him especially as it will keep him safer than he is right now while driving.
larchi Aug 2, 2011 at 4:55 am
The obvious - hands free calls.
The not so obvious, letting my son watch movies and play games while using the car stereo system. I suspect it will add a whole new dimension to handheld movies and games.
Wolfroid Aug 2, 2011 at 5:38 am
Definitelyfor playing da' good beats in ma' car and for some show off when I take voice calls!! ;););)
kevin620627 Aug 2, 2011 at 8:17 am
you do an awesome job on all of your review. keep it up.
jymbrittain Aug 2, 2011 at 8:20 am
Yet another excellent contest! I would use it to overcome the shortcomings of the BT system already in my car - the lack of A2DP!
DrLouie Aug 2, 2011 at 8:38 am
I would love the option of not even needing my headset in the car and the ability to stream music is an added benefit.
jlb21 Aug 2, 2011 at 9:05 am
Trust me...if you are driving anywhere there is a lot of FM, this device, as with any using an FM transmitter, will be more trouble than it is worth.
But it is worth it enough to me to win one! :)
fillup19 Aug 2, 2011 at 9:13 am
I would use this in my car so I could drive and talk safely.
infiniti Aug 2, 2011 at 9:27 am
Wow, so many people and only one give away.
jaBBu Aug 2, 2011 at 9:29 am
If you don't have vehicle built in Bluetooth then this is a great addition. I have one in my car so if i win, then this goes in my better halfs vehicle. Thanks CB.
jokeracing Aug 2, 2011 at 9:32 am
Almost like the BB Gateway but on battery power and FM transmitter. Till the new BB Gateway or Sound whatever they are going to call it comes it this seems like a pretty good alternative.
shootsscores Aug 2, 2011 at 9:46 am
Nifty
dudermont Aug 2, 2011 at 9:47 am
I'd like to try using this. I have wanted bluetooth in my car.
bold1193 Aug 2, 2011 at 9:56 am
I hate bluetooth and always have my phone on speaker, so this would be perfect!!
commander246 Aug 2, 2011 at 10:22 am
This would sure make my daily commute to NYC less burdensome. I'll take it!
jbodry Aug 2, 2011 at 10:30 am
I travel via car a good bit for my work and this would be a fantastic tool to make my trips less boring!!!
npunk42 Aug 2, 2011 at 10:36 am
i would put it in my car and show all my friends
eyenstein Aug 2, 2011 at 10:41 am
Every single time I got in my car I would have a stupid geek smile on. Want this thing soo friggin bad.
tjsberry Aug 2, 2011 at 11:17 am
Could really use one. Fingers crossed !
vodomustng2000 Aug 2, 2011 at 11:19 am
Perfect for my +1hr commute to work.
mralxak Aug 2, 2011 at 11:36 am
i would really love to have one of these as my car stereo doesn't support mp3s. This would be a nice addition to my car.
JonB74 Aug 2, 2011 at 11:36 am
Nice. I need this. Just got a new truck that doesn't have any phone integration and I have been looking for an easy solution that doesn't require a trip to the car audio shop to install something.
mathprof08 Aug 2, 2011 at 11:38 am
My iPod is dying and I hate having wires strung all over my car just to listen to music. A wireless device like this would be awesome because it would eliminate all the stupid wires, plus it would make my driving a lot safer because it would free up my hands to talk. Now I just have to ignore incoming calls because I don't want to talk and drive at the same time.
knightfall Aug 2, 2011 at 12:13 pm
Wow! What a fantastic device. I'd have never thought to broadcast a Bluetooth signal via FM. Brilliant. I'd love one of these.
StaticFX Aug 2, 2011 at 12:32 pm
I have no bluetooth in my car.. i only have the crappy headset that BB sends with the Storm.. My Wife has the super cool built in BT in her jeep and I am so jealous! I need this! Its illegal in NY to talk on the phone while driving and they nab people all the time for it. PLEASE! thanks CB!
AugustArborists Aug 2, 2011 at 12:50 pm
I work out of my truck, hands free would really be nice. Thanks CB!
ChillFactorz Aug 2, 2011 at 12:55 pm
yeah! I would love this device for streaming slacker radio and vlingo texting while commuting.
timzunk Aug 2, 2011 at 1:22 pm
I rarely, if ever use headphones, so this would be a welcome addition to my travels ... yes, have some! Cheers!
cosmo497 Aug 2, 2011 at 1:24 pm
My wife's car had BT built in. Mine didn't. She wanted a different car REALLY, REALLY badly. Since my car was paid off, she made me trade it off for the car she wanted REALLY, REALLY badly. Now, I have BT built in (her older car), but she doesn't in her new car. She misses her built in BT REALLY, REALLY badly. I'd like to win this REALLY, REALLY badly for her sake.
lessdoumas Aug 2, 2011 at 2:17 pm
I need it ! I'd use it in my car !
bassoprofundo Aug 2, 2011 at 2:46 pm
Finally, a way to solve the dual issues of my wife trying to hold a handset while driving AND having no way to play tunes from anything other than the CD-only receiver. Problem-solver for her, peace of mind and no more nagging for me. Pick ME!!!!
chris_meier Aug 2, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Safer, easier and more convenient to use my Torch while driving. I'm already using speakerphone when driving, but this will make sounds so much clearer.
eve6er69 Aug 2, 2011 at 8:44 pm
i would love to have one of these. i work all day in a van that i cannot alter to add an aux jack. this would make my driving a lot safer and quite honestly easier. please cb nation id love one of these!
allen100673 Aug 3, 2011 at 4:18 pm
Getting one of these might force me to replace the failed head unit in my car. No tunes! Throw one my way, and maybe a new deck to go with it.
KiraSaint Aug 5, 2011 at 12:51 am
So cool! Want to win this, please.
MikanX Aug 5, 2011 at 6:09 am
Count me in!
Toxic Aug 5, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Thanks CB. Could use this!
iSin Aug 6, 2011 at 12:29 pm
Count me in for this one! this would be an awesome accesory for my car and i love music! this will make things so much easier. Thank you CB for this contest
JonManu Aug 6, 2011 at 12:45 pm
Would make a great present for my wife. She has to drive a lot for work, and needs to stay connected to her offices. She works for a non profit, so they don't pay for any perks. A device like this would really help her out in those great Niagara winters.
MattDub22 Aug 6, 2011 at 12:47 pm
this is cool! I want one!
Sashko Aug 6, 2011 at 1:00 pm
I sure would love to get me hands on one of 'em thangs ;-)
middbrew Aug 6, 2011 at 1:03 pm
As someone who travels I believe a device like this would be a great addition. Whether it is used for listening to music or hands free calling, I would use it ALL THE TIME.
wirelessgal Aug 6, 2011 at 1:08 pm
My BT headset fell apart last night. It's in pieces. Would love to win this so I can use it when I'm driving. Also syncing to my car stereo and using my BlackBerry to listen to music would be cool! Great contest!
tyler_zyco Aug 6, 2011 at 1:12 pm
I would love to take advantage of this when I'm driving :D
I wonder if it works with DriveSafe.ly?
Vietprid3 Aug 6, 2011 at 1:48 pm
this would be great for my job as driving instructor, no need to use those tangling wires again. would make life alot easier and wireless <3
cwlee Aug 6, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Am I lucky enough to get this hello moto!
cjterminator Aug 6, 2011 at 2:09 pm
count me in for this one. cool!
wsp1811 Aug 6, 2011 at 2:16 pm
Would love the ability to have this in my truck!
