The good: The Scosche SolChat is a Bluetooth car speakerphone that has a built-in solar panel to continuously charge the internal lithium ion battery; clips onto a visor or can be mounted on the windshield with included suction-cup mount; car/USB charger included for charging when sunlight isn't available; voice-announce caller ID; voice dialing; speakerphone is loud.
The bad: Solar charging is slow and only adds about 1 hour of talk time; callers reported hearing slight echo.
The bottom line: The Scosche SolChat solar-powered Bluetooth car speakerphone has a nice feature set, decent performance, and offers a convenient way to go hands-free--and cord-free--in your vehicle.

Summary: If you have any issues with another method, either using your cellphone's speaker phone, or using a multi-feature device (like a GPS to act as a speakerphone), don't give up. This device is on the expensive side at around $70 as it is a single-function device. However, It is well worth the cost and I highly recommended this device.
