what is your opinion on what there is available in the Hands Free Kits available, they are either cheap and nasty (crap) for a Fiver from the petrol station or proffesionally fitted for over £100,what is there in between that is not a load of crap ????

It depends on the phone you have. You can get a decent Bluetooth headset for £50, (of less if you buy it with a phone on a contract), which is legal. And if you don't want something in you ear, you can buy a speaker that is plugged into your cigarette charger and talk to your phone on the same 2.5GhZ as Bluetooth.

If you don't have a Bluetooth phone, then the old ear piece and mic should suffice, (i assume they are those you see at service stations.)

However, you can buy Bluetooth headsets that fit non-Blutetooth phones. You plug the cable into the 3.5mm jack in the bottom of your Nokia, (most models, not the business ones or ones with Pop-Ports), and it enables you phone to talk to the headset sat wirelessly on your ear!!!

Jabra do one, go to http://www.jabra.co.uk for details.

Sorry about the link, i didn't check it first. Here it is.

Unfortunatley, you have one of the business type Nokia phones, (6110/6150/7110/6210/6310/6310i). There is no 3.5 mm jack for handsfree. The jack would fit all the other models, (3210/3310/3410/3510/5110/etc).

Check the link out though. There will be other headsets that do this, this is just the one in know about. Who are you with though? Are you on contract? 6310i is free now!!!
