Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reading all the reviews, I initially went with the Motorola Roadster. I liked that it had the ability to read text messages (my teenage sons favorite way to communicate with me) and that it turned on automatically when I got in the car. Once I had it, it works basically as stated but the sound quality was so poor and the fm transmitter was poor. I bought the Jabra 2 and have been using it for the past few days. I was so surprised when the voice came on reading me a text message! Motorola doesn't tell you this but the app MotoSpeak works with other units! Not only that but the quality of speech is far superior on the Jabra unit. So far, I'm really happy with it. Both units pair with 2 devices, both have FM transmitters, both use voice commands. Based on my primary uses, here's my list of pros/cons for each Jabra: Pros Voice dialer is accurate Display lights are easy to see. Connects very quickly with my phone. Good sound from the unit itself Better FM transmitter (Washington D.C. area airwaves are packed but I get clear sound all around town) Nice loud sound from unit, can use it if FM station isn't available. Announces name of caller/texter When using with GPS, it is clear and uninterrupted. Cons: Doesn't turn on automatically, easy to forget can't dictate a text response Points for Motorola roadster: Pros Automatically turns on when I get in the car Uses motospeak to play texts More voice commands. Can just say "answer" or "ignore" for incoming call. Can dictate a text response Cons: Voice dial is very inaccurate Display lights aren't visible, don't know if it lost the connection If unit is turned off, once turned on, it doesn't connect to phone unless it is first plugged into charger. Could just be a defective unit but a very annoying quirk sound from unit too low to use in place of FM transmission Poor FM transmission. Constantly having to change stations which makes it very hands on! Cuts off the first part of sentece when using phone GPS only gives phone number not name even though the phone book was downloaded. I'm keeping the Jabra Cruiser 2 and sending the other back to amazon. Although the ability to dictate a text response is nice, I find it just as easy to call someone back instead. I don't mind having to turn the unit on when I get in the car. If I forget, the unit pairs so quickly that I can do it before I answer a call and not miss the incoming call. Hope that helps!!
