I`ve got a cradle for using the N70 with a bluetooth GPS unit for satnav.
As for bluetooth sound quality - ICK! I can see why the reports I`ve seen
claim that using any kind of hands-free kit makes no difference to the
chances of being involved in a fatal crash - using a phone while driving
increases the risk by about 4 times.

I think I`m going to abandon the idea of using the hands free kit - it was
only ever going to be used very occasionally when I was pulled up somewhere
safe. Are they worth anything second hand?
