Summary: I love my Blueant
Comment: This is a great item. I bought this for our trip. This connects automatically when I get in the car. My whole contact list was automatically downloaded into the blue ant and all I do is dial the number and talk. I feel much safer on the road now. I can hear everyone great and don't have to have the ear peice I hated so badly.

Summary: Great improvement over previous models
Comment: I owned the first version of the Blue Ant Supertooth and this is a nice improvement. You don't need to flip a big switch to turn it on and it pairs up automatically with my Blackberry Curve. My one complaint is that the voices available are a bit annoying. The US English is odd and the UK English sounds too seductively like a James Bond girl. But overall it is a good product and I plan to buy one for my wife's car.

Summary: Great, but could have been perfect
Comment: The BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Bluetooth car speakerphone has performed well in the week that I've used it, but I can't help but think it could easily have been even better. Here is a brief summary of the pros/cons/areas for improvement. For reference, I have been using the phone with two Katana LX phones on the Sprint network.

Pros:
Design is compact, attractive, and very functional with large buttons and helpful indicator lights. Sound quality is good to excellent, with the noise cancellation working very well. The package includes both car and AC adapters, as well as a second visor clip.
I am extremely pleased that voice-activated dialing works brilliantly. While this is partly a function of the good implementation in the Katana LX itself, it is very nice to be able to hit one button on the Supertooth 3 and then tell the phone who to call, all _without_ having to pre-record anything. This function has dramatically improved the safety of making phone calls from the car, in my opinion.

Cons:
I was unable to upload my address book, either automatically or manually. For me, this is a minor inconvenience as you can still hear the phone number information, but I could see how it would be annoying for some. I feel BlueAnt should provide a more extensive list on their website of compatibility issues.

Areas for improvement:
Voice answering: This is a very nice feature, but made less useful by the fact that you have to wait for the CallerID announcement to finish and wait for the beep, before you can say "OK", "Accept call", etc. Much easier to just hit the green button. Would be nice to be able to say the commands at any time.

Pairing and automatic connection: This is the area that I feel BlueAnt really could have, with minor investment in engineering, taken a huge leap over the competition. The Supertooth 3 can be paired with up to 8 devices, which is nice. However, only 1 device can be paired at one time. The part that is annoying is that, when reconnecting, it will only look for the last phone that it was connected to. My wife and I share a car, so if I use the car after she does, I must manually connect my phone to the Supertooth 3 and vice versa. While not such a big deal, it makes the device not completely "set it and forget it". This could have been solved by making the Supertooth 3 look systematically for all paired devices when it reconnects.
I can also imagine people who have multiple cell phones (personal/work for instance) would love to be able to have both devices connected to the Supertooth 3 at once so they could receive calls on either phone. This issue would likely require modification of the hardware, though.

In summary, the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 is a well-designed, very functional speakerphone that makes making phone calls in the car much easier (and safer!). I have high hopes that a future iteration of this device will be truly seamless and not require user input to operate on a daily basis.

Summary: BlueAnt Supertooth 3
Comment: Really wanted this to work. Very easy to sync. But the background noise complaints from callers and people saying "I only hear about every 3rd word" meant I had to return it. Other reviews said it works great with iPhone, and it does connect wonderfully--even giving a voice greeting the minute you get in the car to let you know it's on board-- but the sound quality isn't there.

Summary: Nice to look at, works like crap!!!!!
Comment: Like my title says... Nice looking but, not a very good product. Let's just say that I am disappointed. I bought this product because I heard of it from a respected source. However it just does not work like they market it. Noise cancellation is non-existent. Your callers just can't hear you very well. I tried many different times adjusting phone and ant volumes, to no avail. I will say, that you can hear people great, telling you that they don't understand you. Then it just stopped working. I need to return it but the company is give me a hard time. I would not recommend this unless you like to be frustrated... I could go on and on with all the things that the ant is supposed to do and doesn't. Yet what is the point. My title says it all!!!!
