Motorola Reportedly Bringing Out a Bluetooth Handsfree Speakerphone

Infosync World is reporting that Motorola is bringing out a handsfree speakerphone accessory for Bluetooth-enabled phones. According to the article:

The Motorola HF800 Portable Wireless Speaker is a compact accessory that can act as a hands-free speakerphone or wireless headset jack when connected to any compatible Bluetooth enabled device up to a 10-meter range.

This is an interesting gadget idea, and definitely would be useful if you have a Bluetooth-enabled phone and you participate in conference calls a lot. The hard part of buying this type of device is that you'll probably have trouble finding a place to try it before you buy. In my experience, mobile phone stores and other places where you can walk in and buy mobile phones aren't set up to demo accessories. I guess this is the case for Bluetooth headsets as well. But, a speakerphone add-on would be something I would want to use in advance even more than a headset.
