HOT! Jabra SP700 Bluetooth Car Speakerphone with FM Transmittor - CHEAP CASH SALE

[TheFuteballer]

If you're looking for a good bluetooth speaker phone to use in your car now that the law has come into effect in Ontario, the Jabra SP700 is a GREAT model! Not only does it stream your music through bluetooth on to your car speakers but it has complete bluetooth phone features as well! By the way this is fully iPhone compatible (I believe you'll need iPhone OS 3.0 or above to do music through bluetooth)

Sig Electronics has this as the cheapest place in Canada right now, I was contemplating going through the hassle of order through Amazon.com and having a friend ship it over given that the US dollar is almost at parity but this is a pretty good price!

$49.99 Cash Price @ SigElectronics

I used one and it ROCKS!!!

[golden_monopolis]

i got my S1 from SIG Earlier...now i feel scammed...
this one is a much better unit especially i am the only one who drives my car.
FM transmit is nice to have too.
does the FM transmit work for songs? i might consider buying another unit if this one can boardcast songs and phone calls at the same time.

Picked 1 up today, so far so good!
Person on the other end had no problems listening to conversation even with windows down. Great buy at $49.

Sounds good, but how does it draw power? Does it have a built-in rechargeable battery? Or do you have to keep replacing the battery with standard batteries?

Sounds like a useful new toy for my car though

It's a built-in rechargable and comes with a car adapter. Battery life is great. I use mine about 45 mins. a day and I have charged it twice since I got it about 6 months ago. Saves the battery because when it's not connected to anything for 10 mins it shuts down itself. Clear on both ends even with window down and driving. Transmits music through FM as well as calls. My iPhone is on 3.0 firmware but used also used it with 2.2.1 (whatever it was pre 3.0) and all functions worked as well. Great unit, great deal. Will be getting some for folks and girlfriend.

Can this unit handle the iPhone 3GS' voice control (if you have OS 3.1 installed?)

A friend has a Blueant Supertooth that when you push the call button, it activates the iPhone's voice control so you can speak names of people to call. Very nice if you want to initiate a phone call from your car or start/stop the music (seeing as Ontario's new law even prohibits having the phone in your hand while you drive, even if you're not talking, texting, etc.)

Very curious about this, it would be a deal breaker for me not to have it. Can anyone who's gotten it and has a 3GS confirm?

Yup from iPhone it transmits songs and phone calls! It stops the song and goes to phone and then starts playing back the music after the call is done

It doesn't work like the Blueant but if you have voice controls through your iPhone you can speak to your iPhone and it will put the call through the SP700.

[joeboo]

anyone know how this would work with sat radio already being used with FM transmitter. Most of the time I am listening to sirius radio via FM transmitter. Would this just over-ride the radio when a call comes in???

[stokkes]

It doesn't work like the Blueant but if you have voice controls through your iPhone you can speak to your iPhone and it will put the call through the SP700.

The unfortunate thing about this is that you have to

1. Press the physical iphone button (which may require reaching for it depending on the car, where it's located)
2. Have to yell into the iPhone to detect your voice (again, depending on where the iPhone is)

I often carry my iPhone on my belt, which means that in the car, with the seatbelt, it's difficult to get to. It would be nice to fully confirm if pressing the talk button on the SP700 will activate the iPhone's voice control.

What about power, do you have to power it on and off evertime you enter and leave your car? I can't seem to find this info on jabra's website.

[Narutard]

work with the itouch?

[blueman]

At least on my blackberry, you can use the phone's voice recognition trough the sp700; just do one quick press on the jabra button.
FM is quite good as long as you select a frequency free of other broadcasting.
(However I broke the FM ability when I've upgraded my blackberry to OS firmware 5.0.238 , it's phone's fault, not the jabra.)
Battery is excellent even when FM is in use, you can charge the speakerphone in your car while using it, notice that the plug is micro usb not mini usb. Volume is great, only issue is when driving very fast on the highway and surrounding noise is too much.
The jabra will shut off automatically after 10 min without your phone connected to it, great battery saver and good way to auto disconnect, unless at home you leave your car in the garage and your phone not too far, in which case all phone calls will go to your car ! (it's the same for all BT speakerphones, in this situation you have to power it off manually)

Notice that most of the SP700 sold under $100 are refurbished units even if it's not advertised, but you can tell by the little manufacturer sticker under the device, it says "refurb" or something like that.

One of my friend bought a very good blueant for around $100, no FM ability but a convenient feature: a motion sensor, which wake up the device automatically when you close your door. Too bad that the Jabra doesn't have it, you have to power it on every time you get in the car.

Also, let me know if you have been able to upgrade the Jabra SP700 with the firmware on the manufacturer website, I've not been able to get it to work. Same thing if you know how to break open the device, I've tried to remove all the screws but can't open it.

anyone know if it works with the ipod touch ?
