AB-900 is a new Bluetooth car speaker phone Options

[Mizzle]

Now, before you read on, you should know that I'm not normally a fan of these car speaker phones, but I quite like this one. I'm of course talking about the new AB-900 which was announced just minutes ago. The AB-900 is a Bluetooth car speaker phone, and does more than I first thought it would.

You can use the AB-900 and your Bluetooth-enabled phone to stream music from your phone to the AB-900, and it will broadcast it over the car audio system. It even has RDS built-in, so you won't have to bother searching for the right frequency all the time.

The AB-900 features a pretty large display that enables you to handle your calls whilst driving. It provides you easy access to five selected favourite contacts, and you have voicemail at the touch of a button.

Your music and audio will automatically pause when you get an incoming call, and resume once again when the call ends.

And now to the best part about the AB-900 - its battery life. It's capable of pulling a staggering 1000 hours of standby life or 26 hours of talk! That's about forty days of standby time or more than a day of constant gossipping. Quite amazing what a standard BST-38 can do in a product like this.

The AB-900 measures 120 x 69 x 16 millimetres and weighs 117 grams, making it a fairly lightweight car speaker phone solution.

It'll be available in one kit with two different panel colours - black and silver. No word on availability or pricing yet.
