What we don’t like, however, is that Plantronics has done away with the standard microUSB charging port found on the Voyager Pro. replacing it with a proprietary magnetic port instead. The Plantronics Voyager Legend UC comes with both a simple charging lead and a desktop charging dock that work with this port. Although the magnetic charging port is undoubtedly clever, as the headset almost magically snaps into it when you bring it near the charging peripherals, it’s also annoying. Mainly, when you’re out and about or away on business, it’s one more adaptor you’ll need to remember to take with you – and which they’re unlikely to have a spare of at the other end of your journey if you forget. ONSEPTEMBER 12, 2012EDIT "TOMTOM HANDS-FREE CAR KIT FOR IPHONE REVIEW" TomTom Hands-free Car Kit for iPhone Review Introduction Signs are beginning to appear that the sat-nav is about to go full circle.
What started out as a peripheral and software add-on package for the PDA then became a standalone device in itself. But this hugely successful gadget could be supplanted by the evolution of what it replaced – the smartphone – as the power of the mobile increases. TomTom has clearly seen this one coming, and launched a range of car mounting kits including this, the TomTom Hands-free Car Kit for iPhone. Not all of them are for Apple devices, either, in anticipation of the TomTom for Android app version due in October. However, the one we are reviewing here is still focused on the iPhone, and replaces the original TomTom for iPhone Car Kit, although it’s not quite a direct replacement.

Related: iPhone 7 release date, s and rumours Design The Hands-free Car Kit is of noticeably sturdier build than the original Car Kit. Not that the latter was flimsy – far from it – but this goes even further to house your beloved Apple smartphone in the manner it deserves. The kit is designed to accommodate every iPhone from the original version up to the latest iPhone 4S. However, the kit does lack something important from the original – the GPS receiver. So any remaining users of the original iPhone will be better off getting the first Car Kit, if they want to use a satellite navigation app, although this point is a bit moot as the lack of recent iOS updates will probably be more of a hindrance. You can still get the original Car Kit, although now it is being marketed for the iPod Touch only, as it’s not designed for the iPhone 4 body. It’s worth noting that, physically at least, the TomTom Hands-free Car Kit will only fit future iPhones so long as the use the same docking connector, as such this might rule out the iPhone 5 onwards with Apple seemingly set to do away with its 30-pin dock standard for a 9-pin option.
The flexibility of the securing mechanism means that the Hands-free Car Kit will fit a phone even if it’s inside an unusual cover. Attachments The phone attaches via its 30-pin dock connector at one end, and a rubberised bracket at the other, which secures with friction. The Kit has a regular windscreen suction mount, with an adhesive disk so you can make a permanent placement for it on your dashboard. We found the suction mount provided a more secure attachment than the previous kit. It rotates, too, so you can have your phone in portrait or landscape orientation, the latter being preferable for satellite navigation. What the TomTom Hand-free Car Kit for iPhone loses with the GPS it gains in other areas, primarily revolving around the facility to use your phone safely whilst driving, as implied by the device’s name. There’s a microphone connected to the mount, but it can be detached, with a number of accessories to help you reposition it. There’s an extension cable, so you can reposition the microphone where you want.
