> I have the Bluetooth built into my car and it’s nice because I rarely do I ever make a call but when I receive a call all I have to do is hit the answer button on my steering wheel. If I want to make a call my phone book was imported into my navigation so all I have to do is either type it in the navi or hot the button on my wheel and say thier name and it calls

The problem with this is some phones have crappy connections with the OEM BT stuff.

My HTC EVO is less than a year old. My M is a 2007. People can hear me, but it’s not as good as you’d think. Other phones though work fine in my car and I’m sure my phone would work fine in a newer car.

Handsfree BT stuff is nice but it isn’t the cure-all for taking calls in the car.
