Summary: awsome!
Comment: It does everything I ex[ected it to do. I can hear better than when I put the phone against my ear. It is voice activated and announces the name of the person calling. the best part is that the battery lasts for ever. I have had it for two weeks and I still have not had to re-charge it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's an okay product but definitely not great!
Comment: 1. ST3 will not automatically connect to the phone if your phone's bluetooth was turned off and then turned back on. You have to turn off ST3 and then turn it on to recognize and pair with the phone.
2. Sometimes people complained to me that they could not hear me.
3. Sometimes I do not hear the other party well. It sounds like they are far away (and yes, not a signal strength issue, I tested this many times, This is a problem with ST3).
4. Voice call acceptance does not always work. You have to really SHOUT and say ACCEPT CALL or OK for it to accept calls. Sometimes even shouting didn't work. So, I had to press the green button to accept calls.
5. The American English voice sounds more like British and somewhat harsh and not so clear.
6. Loading phone book took a long time. I had only 50+ entries. But it loaded somehow 1000+ phonebook entries. I'm not sure what exactly happened there.
7. It does not always say the caller names.

Summary: The big let-down.
Comment: I'm a truck-driver and as such needed a good hands-free device that could handle the noise of the truck. Everything pointed to the Supertooth. Not even close! Those on the other end couldn't understand me even if I held it in my hand in front of my mouth. There was too much echo and background noise. I then thought we could use it in my wife's car which is very quiet and the visor is very close to the driver's face. Same problem again. To them, it sounded like I was in a crowded room even when we were sitting still with the engine off! The odd thing was it would only make the noise when I was speaking. When I wasn't, the listener claimed there was complete silence on their end! The speaker had a very harsh sound that made it tough to understand the other end of the conversation as well. Had it done as advertised, it would have been perfect but, as usual it fell very short.

Summary: As good as it gets...
Comment: I mainly got this unit because:
1. I had to - New "Hands Free" law in California. (Though you can still text and drive??? Go figure)
2. Voice Dialing interaction with capable handsets. (Mine is)
All in all, I believe this is probably one of, if not, the best hands free car device available. It was easy to sync my phone list over to it and the automatic bluetooth connection works great. All that being said, it's not perfect (and I doubt there is any "perfect" device). The worst part about it is most likely an issue with all of these types of units. Because of the mic and speaker placement, callers can hear themselves and experience an echo effect. I can turn down the volume to reduce the effect, but then it's more difficult to hear the caller. It really isn't as bad as it sounds and I would most definitely recommend the Supertooth3 to anyone. My only other issue with it is super minor. The voices aren't very appealing. They aren't the most pleasant voices in any accent or language. I have a Garmin Nav unit that has a nice pleasant female voice. The BlueAnt female voice sounds like she's not real happy to be helping you out (I really don't know another way to explain it). My wife is always joking about it...she gets a deep voice and says, "Connected to Phone."
Pros:
1. Bluetooth Auto-connect - This is super convenient. I open the car door and the Supertooth3 "wakes up" and connects to my phone automatically. When I get out of the car, the unit will disconnect when I am out of range and "sleep" until I return. Obviously, I need to keep the unit powered to do all of this, but I'll say this...I've been using the unit since I got it over a month ago and I'm still on my first charge!
2. Voice Dialing and Announcing - When a call comes in, it will announce the caller by name (if they're in your address book). You can hit the "answer" button or just say "answer" to take the call. If you want to make a Voice Dial call, just hit the "call" button and it's just like the Voice Dial from your phone (phones vary). Remember, your phone needs to support Voice Dialing to take advantage of this. AT&T users should be pissed since AT&T had phone manufacturers pull this feature from their phones so that they could charge for their own Voice Dial service...losers!
3. Good volume and simple operation.
4. Definitely the excellent power longevity.
Cons:
1. Possible echo effect with some callers due to mic/speaker placement.
2. Unpleasant built-in voices for voice prompts.
I hope this helps anyone thinking about buying this product. I really do like it alot and wouldn't give it up for anything else I've come across.

Summary: Hand Free Blue Tooth Device
Comment: This is a great device easy. It as easy to setup and use. The only fault that I can point to is that some have complained that it is sometimes difficult to hear me due to background noise.
