In the line of Motorola's quite a lot of automotive accessories, the company plans to expand and deepen this trend to seriously compete with specialized companies, it refers to as every talkies and devices for navigation. For example, I had that month is set MOTONAV, in our country it will not be able to use this thing for the United States, included a Bluetooth GPS, the holder for it, the documents for the activation and downloading of Java-programs for phones, the box is shown with V3 is running. I think in our country there would be buyers of this kit, but as long as supplies are not planned. With the T505 model are much simpler, since this "piece of iron is not paving the way, but only helps to spend it with pleasure.
Design and construction
Write about the design of automotive devices - a thankless task, in my opinion, the main task of designers in this case - to make the device as less distracting from the road, easy to manage, well, look - it second thing is that it fits easily into the interior any vehicle. Therefore T505 looks in any way - small-sized gray box of a good plastic, the sleek, well-assembled. The top is a "hot shoe" for attaching clips, it is not tight, but attached to the cap well. At the bottom of the headset is located a bulging square, under which the hidden microphone, rear has a slot for charging, that's all. From the road distracting flickering light indicator, at least at first, then from him just losing your mind (just kidding). I would recommend the device designers to get into the car and ride an hour through the city, we could share experiences. Blue circle just above eye level, which appears every few seconds, and really can put out, believe me.

Management
The model has a simple and intuitive control, in fact, it is divided into two parts - there are keys, and voice prompts female voice in English, it is possible that a version for our country, she will broadcast all in Russian. So, on the front panel is not very pleasant light indicator, inscribed in the logo on the left of it there is the answer (with the help activate last number redial, voice dialing), right - the button Play / Pause. On the side is a neat volume control buttons, rear - a key transmitter (setting the frequency), on-off. Headset in pairing mode is entered by pressing the multifunction key in the ON state. As shown by their own experiments, both can work with only one device, multipoint connection is not supported. With regard talkative girl, she tells you about the last number redial, separation or combination, suggests the frequency and so on, its presence is nice.
Hours
Claimed battery talk time is about 18 hours, in reality, this figure seems to be true, well, can an hour less then it does not matter, you would be enough for one filling, to quietly left a couple of days. For charging, use the connector miniUSB, which is very nice, the cable of this type can easily find almost anywhere, can connect to PC USB-port. It is unclear yet whether there will be complete for our country to attend car charger, I will strongly advocate for it, it could leave her in a box, the headset is definitely not for pedestrians. In general, summing up, at the time of doing well.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
The headset was tested with a smartphone Samsung i550, smartphone Motorola Z8, more like working with "enemy" unit (it is possible that I just have a strange pattern Z8), because with the RIZR very bad bugs - pairing tenth time through the stump pile, not to transfer music transfer music to the appalling quality ... All of this has not happened since i550, the work was Gorny and quality.
Third, it's not all, because the T505 is built into the bowels of FM-transmitter. Connect your phone, you press a button with a stylized woman's voice tells you the frequency on alien language (97.1), and you can enjoy music from memory card after listening to it through the car audio system. Well, about to enjoy it as anyone, but testing in different machines (Suzuki Grand Vitara, Nissan Micra, BMW 7er, etc.) showed that the transmitter is very usable. The sound is certainly not audiophile, comparable with the transmission on the radio with good reception, I will say this: for most it is a lowly user.
Hmm, everything seems to work. Is there a catch? Not found to be honest. Even if we throw the phone in the far corner of the salon 7er, interference does not occur, the musical "horizon" is clear.
Conclusions
The device is in good is unique because it combines the several useful things, instead of the phone can be used and players, for instance, fits the same series of Samsung YP, if you are not a music phone. Motorola T505 has a strong negative (except for the indicator light), it's not a very good voice quality when buying, I would recommend somehow her to try it with your device, so as not to be disappointed. The company remains very little to make a truly good solution for drivers who have a modern phone and want to use it for listening to music in his iron horse. But failed. But indirect competitors a dime a dozen, especially among the transmitters, but that's "just-in-one almost does not occur, it could be a very interesting proposal. It is a pity that the quality of voice, no one seriously worked the microphone there is very strange.The headset is already sold in foreign stores, costs about $ 140, our country will need to calculate the amount of no less than four thousand (confidentially reported that we have, it is more likely than not, I've already seen the pilot packaging). All motorists amateur Motorola recommend a closer look at another ROKR, but it is necessary to take into account the described disadvantages.
