There's a lot to like about the BlackBerry Visor Mount Speakerphone.

First off, it's quite handsome. Made of black plastic with a glossy finish, it looks great clipped to your car's visor--especially if you have a dark-colored interior. It's beautifully designed, and it compliments RIM's current "curvy/shiny/sleek" device form factors. (Think: , and .) And it clips unobtrusively to your car's overhead sun visor.

The speakerphone has four LED indicators on its face: one battery-level; one for active-call status; another to signify whether or not the unit is connected to your device via Bluetooth; and finally, one to let you know whether or not it's "broadcasting" to an FM frequency. The battery indicator turns on only when charging or when it's low. The Bluetooth connection light stays on whenever you're using it. And both the call- and FM-transmitter-indicators light up only when those features are employed.

More important than looks, this gadget works well. Very well, in most cases. It's simple to pair it and Bluetooth enabled devices; the process is exactly the same as pairing with any other Bluetooth headset, etc. It's not particularly large, so you can stash it away in a glove compartment when not in use, if necessary. (I'm a city-boy, and I never leave anything "shiny" in view in an unattended vehicle.)

And the device only has three "buttons" so it's not confusing to use, even while driving. The main button is built into the device's front panel, directly below the LED indicators, and it's used to turn the speakerphone on and off, enable pairing mode, answer and end calls and more. Most of the time you need only to click that button once, though holding it for longer activates different features.
