The BlueAnt S4 ($100 as of March 8, 2011) Bluetooth car speakerphone is sleek and slender--far more slick-looking than its predecessor, the BlueAnt Supertooth 3. As with the Supertooth 3, you affix the S4 to your visor, thanks to the convenience of magnetic pull: You slide a metal clip onto the visor, and then the S4 clamps onto the clip by way of the magnetic blobs underneath the unit. The clip can stay permanently on the visor; you pop the S4 on and off the clip with minimal effort. I like the fact that the S4 is slim and that its magnetic setup makes for a quick in-and-out. I also like how the speakerphone houses a dedicated sliding on/off switch at its side. (The rest of the device's controls lie below a smooth surface--it lacks physical buttons.) But the big attraction for me is its "hands-off" orientation: The S4 lets me take care of almost all phone tasks using my voice--so I can avoid having to reach up and press any buttons at all. When my phone and the S4 are connected, I say "BlueAnt, speak to me." It responds with "Say a command." From that point on, I can use one of a bunch of preset commands to make calls or find information.
Everyone with a car needs a hands-free device these days - for convenience, for safety, and (in some states) for complying with the law. The voice-controlled BlueAnt S4 is the company's best speakerphone we've tested so far. With a compatible Android or BlackBerry phone, the S4 will read aloud caller names, and (in some cases) SMS and e-mail messages. It's a great buy for anyone who wants to drive and talk more comfortably, and who doesn't already have a car with built-in Bluetooth. The S4 is about the size of a touch screen smartphone. It measures 4.9 by 2.4 by 0.6 inches (HWD). It's made entirely of plastic, though the contrasting textures, tapered edges, and charcoal grey accents look stylish. The package comes with two metal visor clips of differing sizes, plus a car charger, a very short USB cable, and a user manual. For this review, I tested the BlueAnt S4 with an Android 2.1-powered LG Ally ($99.99-396.99, ) on Verizon Wireless. The front edge features three touch controls: two for the volume and a multi-function button in the center. A green LED lets you know the unit is listening for voice commands, while a flashing blue LED signifies the current status.
