I’ve been in the market for a bluetooth speakerphone for the car for awhile now. So far, my experience with my previous Garmin Nüvi 650, and my current TomTom 720 has been less then stellar in the actual phone call department. In general, I can hear the caller fairly well, but they can’t hear me. Which seems to be due to the fact that the GPS is a good distance from my face and the ambient road noise certainly doesn’t help. Sure they both have microphone options, but who needs yet another cable routed around their car? So I thought a visor mounted bluetooth speakerphone would do the trick.

I’ve had my eye on the well rated BlueAnt Supertooth3, but haven’t gotten around to ordering one yet. Instead, on impulse, I picked up the super cheap Roadmaster VR3 at Costco this weekend. Somehow I got it in my head that it was a Motorola product, which made me feel better for some reason. As it turns out, cheap applies to more than just price with this product.
