I just got this today and it's a very neat piece of kit. Essentially it's a Bluetooth headset but as a loud speaker instead. I used to have a headset but because I wear glasses it was too uncomfortable to leave on my ear all the time, and when I didn't wear it all the time, when someone called they would have given up waiting by the time I got the thing comfortable.
The HF-300 is very easy to setup, and if you have a Nokia phone (I have an N95) it works really well with the voice commands (something else I didn't find very good on other phones I've used). All you have to do is hold the call button, say the name you want to call (which is repeated back to you so you can tell if it's wrong - although it's been right everytime for me), and in a few seconds it starts dialing. The sound quality is fine and it comes with a clip to attach to the car's sun-visor and an in-car charger. It's a shame there's no mains charger included but if your phone has the same charger that will work fine as well. It supports a long list of the newer Nokia phones and I would assume it would work with any Bluetooth compatible phone.
The only drawback is that it's a little expensive, but worth it if you do a lot of driving. I bought it from Accessory Shop on the Marketplace - I ordered on Thursday night and it was delivered on Saturday morning in perfect condition, so I would definitely recommend them.

I bought this to replace a Plantronics bluetooth headset - the over-ear loop contiually breaks and I find them uncomfortable - so I thought the Nokia carkit looked ideal.
The Nokia product has a large speaker and very simple controls, but don't write it off as not being 'gadgety' enough. You don't need mega-functionality with these devices when you're driving, you need simplicity and ease of use. I pair mine with a Blackberry 8820 and a Nokia 6021 - no problems. When I get back into the car I just hold down the dial button on the Nokia unit and it pairs with both devices instantly.
Nokia supply an in car power adaptor only, which was fine for me (although I did a first charge from a mains adpator, so that I could play with it before fitting into my car, which took 10 seconds).
Voice tags work perfectly and I didn't have to rerecord any of them. The speaker volume is loud and I can hear perfectly over town, country and motorway levels of noise. The microphone is good and none of the people I have spoken to have noticed an issue with volume or echo.
The unit is more expensive than others on the market, but I have not had the problems of lack of speaker volume and microphone echo that other cheaper units suffer from.
I compared this product to Motorola's T505, but prefered the Nokia product with it's own built in speaker as I find that FM reception varies as you travel around the country depending on the local radio stations and retuning whilst on a call is not an option.

Can't expect too much for the price, I suppose - and it does actually work if you've got exquisite eyesight, hearing and tiny fingers. Read more
