Features:

• The Parrot MINIKIT SLIM is a portable Bluetooth hands-free kit sporting a profiled, sleek design. Thanks to its space-saving design, it offers countless uses: in the car, in the office and at home. Its highly intuitive interface will automatically connect to your Bluetooth phone when nearby. Fixed to the sun visor or laid on a table, it adapts to every environment and can easily be carried around in your pocket.
• Once paired, the Parrot MINIKIT SLIM automatically synchronises its phonebook with the contacts on your mobile phone. The phonebook on the MINIKIT SLIM is updated seamlessly whenever it connects. The entire phonebook is available at all times thanks to the voice synthesis of the names (Text-To-Speech function). Practical and indispensable.
• Fancy calling one of the contacts in the phonebook? Say the name and the MINIKIT SLIM recognises it without any prior training and dials the number. If several numbers are associated with the same person, tell the kit which one you want to dial by saying mobile, work, home, and so on. You can also record a voiceprint (shortcut) for one of your contacts, so that you can call them even more quickly.
• Parrot has combined its audio expertise with the vibrating panel technology. No more speakers - the top panel is connected to the audio circuit and vibrates to reproduce natural, open sound. The results are spectacular - stunning sound quality, crystal-clear conversations and power always ready to go. The especially discreet high sensitivity microphone is fully built into the design.

Rating: - Parrot MiniKit Slim - BT Handsfree Speaker Phone
After initailly recieving my first unit, i had to return it, as it locked up on a regular basis. When i recieve my replacement unit, it paired and synchronised my phone book as per the instructions.

I have used the unit now for a number of weeks and am pleased with its performance, the sound is reasonably good and battery life excellent.

One slightly annoying issue is the "Voice recognition" engine, it sometimes struggles with my northern dialect and i find myself having to speak in a more electro-synthetic style to get the unit to recognise the tag.

Then i hear you say "You can record your own Voice tags".
According to the instructions and parrot's web site you can.

But i have had two of these units and neither came with Voice Tagging in the menu, so i beleive this to be a Quality Check issue in the UK 1.03V Software version.

If i'm correct the previous MiniKit version, also had an upgrade option in it's menu, mine does not.

I contacted Parrot support helpdesk about the missing Voice Tag menu and the upgrade option, they replied, saying it would appear in the software update. My concern is that i won't be able to update even with Parrots update software, because i dont have the option to put it in to upgrade mode.

I'm still rating this with 4 Stars even with the missing feature sets.
