Parrot Minikit Chic Bluetooth Car Speakerphone

29.04.2009

The Chic does not have an indicator to let you know whether the device is on or off. This annoyed me a few times--and, of course, I ended up switching it off when I thought I was turning it on (and vice versa).

If you are looking for a hands-free way to use your cell phone in your car, the Chic lets you drive and talk without having to glance down at your handset. (You'd never do that while driving anyway, right?) So as long as your phone supports automatic transfer of your contacts--look for the automatic synchronization feature in your phone's specs' list--this device will be a big hit. If your phone doesn't support automatic synchronization, you can use your handset's Object Push feature to send contacts from your cell phone to the Chic. (Your phone's user guide should provide specific instructions on how to send contacts this way via Bluetooth.)

Finally, if the floral look isn't your thing, Parrot also offers the plain-black Minikit Slim--the same $100 product, only without the design.
