With the longest talk and standby time on the market, the Bluetooth™ Car Speakerphone makes staying in touch with friends, colleagues and family on the move even easier. With superior audio quality and stylish design, this latest car accessory gives you a premium handsfree experience at an affordable price.

Unveiled today, the Bluetooth Car Speakerphone HCB-108 has a sleek Nordic design and lets you talk conveniently when you are on the move - attach easily to a car visor with no wires, no fuss and no hassle. The speakerphone offers market-leading talk time and can be easily switched between vehicles, if you're used to jumping between a company and family car, or simply use it in the office as a conference speakerphone. Just unclip the speakerphone, swap it over and off you go.

"The new Bluetooth Car Speakerphone HCB-108 is ideal for those who need to keep in touch on the move, and we are thrilled to be able to offer consumers a product with such unrivalled talk time." said Jacob Sten, Head of the accessories division at Sony Ericsson. "The new Bluetooth Speakerphone HCB-108 is our most affordable car speakerphone in the range, but without compromising on the premium feel and stylish design that you can expect from Sony Ericsson."

With the impressive 25 hours talk time and a standby time of up to one month, the Bluetooth™ Car Speakerphone HCB-108 lets you enjoy crystal clear conversations and superior true duplex audio quality with echo reduction, noise cancellation and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for longer than ever.

The Bluetooth Car Speakerphone HCB-108 will be available in selected markets from early Q4 in the colours Black and Silver. It will be showcased at the Paris Car Show, in conjunction with Saab, from October 4, 2008.

On this device there is only a power cable to the lighter socket.

As one is advised to charge for 11 hours, I rather feel the need for a separate power lead that one might attach to a 13 amp supply.

Any suggestions for a supplier that might have this add-on which, I might add, needs a special plug in order to socket in to the HCB-108.
