Cell Phone Car Kit with Speakerphone

Does anybody have any recommendations on a hands free/speakerphone car kit? I currently have an earpiece that I use when I drive, but I would actually rather just have a speakerphone since i'm alone most of the time.

I would go with a carkit that is made by whoever manufactured your phone. They're not always cheap, but they generally have better sound quality.

Unfortunately SprintPCS.com doesn't have anything as far as speakerphone. They have a variety of earpieces, but that's it

Samsung A460

DF - I know a few of their phones have speakerphones, but I also wanted a flip phone.

Hopefully in a few months the price on the Treo 600 will drop and I will buy one of those.

ray, i can check out what's available here in korea. i know that my cousin bought a hands-free speakerphone thing for his oldschool samsung sprint phone here in korea. they're actually pretty popular.

actually, if you go to ktown, you can probably find something there too.

The link I posted is about $95. Handsfree kits are not always a cheap solution. Installed Bluetooth kits are around $400. For a fctory MB kit, it's about $1600. I can get you the above posted kit for $75 if you're interested.
