Sony Ericsson HCB-108, a Powerful Bluetooth Car Speakerphone

Sony Ericsson is not all about mobile phones, as you may already know, so it often releases accessories for its handsets. The newest one is called "Bluetooth Car Speakerphone HCB-108" and, obviously, it is a portable speakerphone created for those who spend a lot of time in their car, on the road. 

Sony Ericsson says that the new Bluetooth car accessory has a "Nordic design" and it offers the longest talk and stand-by time from all such accessories found on the market today. More exactly, the device is capable of lasting up to 25 hours in talk-time mode or up to 700 hours in stand-by.

The HCB-108 also features the following: Digital Signal Processing (DSP), echo reduction, noise cancellation for a perfect audio quality and Bluetooth 2.0 compatibility. Weighing 93 grams and measuring 119 x 61 x 14 millimeters, the device comes with a visor clip and a cigarette lighter adapter (model number CLA-61) in the box.

Talking about the latest product, Jacob Sten, Head of the Accessories Division at Sony Ericsson, stated, "The new Bluetooth Car Speakerphone HCB-108 is ideal for those who need to keep in touch on the move, and we are thrilled to be able to offer consumers a product with such unrivaled talk time. The Bluetooth Speakerphone HCB-108 is our most affordable car speakerphone in the range, but without compromising on the premium feel and stylish design that you can expect from Sony Ericsson."

Sony Ericsson's new HCB-108 car speakerphone will be on sale starting October, in two color versions: silver and black. No word yet on its price, but it's said to be an affordable one.

Users interested in checking out the new Bluetooth accessory before its commercial availability will be able to do it during the Paris Car Show (October 4, 2008), where it will be presented by Sony Ericsson together with Saab, the Swedish subsidiary of General Motors.
