I was visiting Compusa recently looking for a couple small things and noticed the Samsung Bluetooth Speakerphone for $24.99 (can be ordered via Amazon). I spend quite a bit of time on the phone and my regular bluetooth headset works well enough, often doing calls while driving to make use of idle time. Most of the time that’s the target market for these, in car use. Works ok there, but the reason I grabbed it was I’ve had a few times where I wanted to include someone with me on a call and had to resort to the speakerphone on my phone which works if not great. This one is light weight, has a button to switch it to handset mode for private listening, and charged via a standard USB cable.

So far it works fine, and a really reasonable solution if you don’t like the headsets.
