Comparable products cost less and have almost all the same features as RIM's version. For example, in the CrackBerry shop. Then again, ShopBlackBerry is RIM's own online store, and it's always more expensive than random online accessories dealers. So you can expect lower prices for the visor mount speakerphone once it makes its way to external retailers.

In my opinion, $69.99 is a good price, but I'd probably pay up to $79.99 for the BlackBerry Bluetooth Visor Mount Speakerphone.

Also, RIM was supposed to release the product on June 8, 2009, but it's still not listed for sale. I expected that it will be shortly, but it would be nice if RIM actually released the product when it told the media it would. Anywho...

The speakerphone doesn't come with an AC wall charger, either, which is quite frustrating. It does ship with a micro USB car charger, but it's annoying to have to power up in the car every time you need juice. Charging while you're using the device is also a pain, because the speakerphone clips onto your visor and the charging cord hangs down, obstructing your view slightly--unless you somehow clip it out of the way. For $100, RIM should include a separate micro USB wall charger.

I was generally pleased with the quality of the FM transmitter. My music, whether from Pandora or my device, sounded mostly clear if listened to at normal volume. There was some regular static--and the issue worsened as I turned up the volume--but this is a common problem with FM transmitters, at least in my experience. Overall, the BlackBerry Visor Mount Speakerphone worked just as well or better than any other FM transmitter I've used.
