Drive safe with Motorola! Finiti & CommandOne Headsets & Roadster

I travel a lot. This ranges anywhere from an 80 mile trip to get groceries, run errands and to buy in bulk, 5 hour family travels, to airport traveling for bloggy events where I am rushing to get to the next gate, meanwhile I want to know who is texting, messaging or emailing me without having to keep my eye on my phone. With my BlackBerry, I have been so lucky to have been able to try out a few devices from Motorola that have blown my mind and helped with my traveling in so many ways. One product that I have been using and really enjoying is the Motorola Finiti.

Motorola Finiti

Hear and Be Heard, Anywhere
Designed with extreme conditions in mind, Motorola’s latest Bluetooth®1 headset – Motorola Finiti™, is latest edition to our Elite Series. Finiti’s three microphone solution lets you carry on a conversation wherever your adventures take you. With an MotoSpeak™, Finiti allows you to listen to a text message and dictate a response, leaving your hands free to tackle whatever life throws at you.

The Stealth Mode
Using a combination of three microphones, Finiti brings you the best-in-class noise and wind cancellation, so you can have clear calls and be heard in any environment. Crystaltalk™ dual microphone technology dramatically cancels everyday background noise and provides amazing audio on both sides of the call. For an extra boost in extreme conditions users can activate the stealth mode, which converts your vocal vibrations into speech. Using true bone conduction technology3, the stealth mode microphone relays your voice while eliminating the most extreme noise and wind (up to 40 miles per hour), offering a premium headset experience.

A Smarter Way to Text
Finiti helps you stay connected while staying hands-free, even when texting, with enhanced Motospeak. Hear your text messages immediately and then dictate your reply. MotoSpeak even announces who is calling from your contact list. Simply download the free MotoSpeak application to your Android-powered 2.2 device and sync with Finiti, so whether driving or multitasking at home, Finiti allows you to stay in touch while staying productive.

Command with Your Voice
Never let phone calls trip up your daily routine. With Finiti, answering or ignoring a call takes a single word, either say “answer” or “ignore” when you receive an incoming call. It’s simple to manage your calls hands-free with voice activations, the caller’s name is also read aloud for all contacts in your phonebooks, so you know who is calling without lifting a finger.

Quickly Sync
The intuitive features on Motorola Finiti help you get connected quickly. It uses audible voice prompts that tell you when you’re connected, which phone is ringing, when stealth mode is activated and your current battery level. And you never have to wait to chat – with Rapid Charge you get up to 2.5 hours of talk time with just 15 minutes of charging. A battery meter also appears on select phones, so you can easily track you power level.

I have been using the Motorola Finiti for a few weeks now and am in love with it! It comes with several inserts for your ear so you can find your comfort level. I have not been using the over-the-ear part, because the inner ear part works beautifully to keep in place. It hasn’t fallen out at all, even when hauling tail through airports. Even when I am working out or going for a walk, I wear the Finiti!

I use this with my Blackberry so when I am driving, my MotoSpeak reads my emails and my texts to me. I receive a lot of emails in a given day. I don’t like to be glued to my phone, so it’s nice to be driving and have my emails and even my texts read to me. I can even set it up to where I can speak my text and email replies back in to the devices and it sends them without me taking my eye off the road.

While I am on the conversation about headsets, I wanted to share another Motorola headset with you.

Motorola CommandOne

Since I have been able to use both the Finiti and the Motorola CommandOne, I really like both. For me, personally, I prefer the Motorola Finiti because of my small ears and the ear piece fits me perfectly without having that over ear piece. Hubby prefers and loves the CommandOne, so it works out perfectly for us to be hands free on the road!

Differences in Motorola Finiti & CommandOne:

The main differences in the Finiti & the CommandOne is that the Finiti comes with a setting called “stealth mode” which allows you to use it in even the most extreme noise and wind conditions, such as wind noise outdoors, as well as airport noise.

With the talk about road safety with your mobile phones, I am really excited to share with you another Motorola product that I have been using and madly in love with this, especially for long road trips when you don’t want to wear an earpiece the entire time.

Motorola Roadster

Clearest Calls from Your Car

Roadster keeps your conversations clear and eliminates background noise with dual-microphone technology for superior noise cancellation.

Roadster automatically turns on when you get in the car and off when you leave, ensuring you are always hands-free. You can even answer or ignore incoming calls with a single word and use the dedicated voice-dial button to keep focused on the road. The smartly-placed buttons provide easy access to the most-used functions, and audible voice prompts give you updates on Roadster’s battery life and more. Perfect for long drives or on-the-road business calls, Roadster has up to 20 hours of talk time2, so you’ll never have to worry about cutting calls short.

I have been using both headsets, Motorola Finiti & the CommandOne, but when I have been on longer travels, I have been using and in love with the Motorola Roadster! It was soooo easy to get started with it. I charged it, clipped it on my visor, turned it on and my Blackberry automatically paired with it. You are able to turn the volume up or down with the Roadster. With the Roadster, since you are already handsfree, you can stream music from your Blackberry. I like to stream saved music or live stations when there’s nothing decent on the radio. I have had my Roadster in my Borrego now for about 3 weeks now. I charged it fully when it first arrived and haven’t turned it on or off when I am entering my car. It automatically turns off when you aren’t using it or near it. How great is that?? After 3 weeks of solid use, the battery power is still at high. I love that when I get in my car, it speaks to me that it is activated!

When I first heard about the Motorola Finiti & CommandOne Headsets & the Motorola Roadster, I had some questions about what devices they would work with. All of these products will work with both Blackberry and iPhone. In regards to the MotoSpeak technology, full MotoSpeak 2.0 functionality is optimized for Blackberry 4.5+ GSM devices with limited functionality available on Blackberry 4.5+ CDMA devices. MotoSpeak does not work with the iPhone at this time.
