Wonder if it would be safe in an accident? If its clipped to the visor, might it not fly off and clock you in the face if you had a prang?
Anyone know about these things who isn't a professional crash test dummy?

Surely that won't happen
must've tested the product thoroughly before releasing it.
It must be very secure and safe to use.

Is the HCB-100 released yet?
The text "comming soon" is taken away from the homepage.

Has anyone purchased this?
Ive read a review on mobile-review.com and they say that it does not suppor full duplex, so it is like talking on a walkie talkie?
Can anyone confirm?

Bought an HCB100 from SE on-line shop on Monday. Sent it back for replacement today. Lovely piece of kit BUT
1. most importantly - and why it's gone back - BT connection to my K750i (with latest firmware) drops every 18minutes.
2. less important but annoying - the very secure clip for sun visor is so high that you can't fit the thing in a normal car without the sunvisor being forced to hang down by about 1cm or so. the clip would fit a visor up to 2.5cm+ thick. Certainly doesn't fit like the one on the glossy ad. video on SE site.
3. for info, the instructions are rubbish! (but it's fairly easy to work out)
Anyone have a clue why the BT may be disconnecting? (reconnects as soon as I ask it to) - I tried pairing from various places in the phone - i.e. call menu and connections menu. Thank you in anticipation !

TBH I'm not a fan of these plug and play type devices. Personally I prefer the fully installed carkits.

"Carkitter" I couldn't agree more - but I cant afford a fully installed unit !
(and I know that it's prejudiced but my previous experience with a "professional" ICE fitter was soo poor that I would need to be desperate to allow my car to be meddled with by anyone) - my apologies if you are "in the trade" and are good!
Again you are right though, my experience with BT in general and the SE implementation does seem to be that it is difficult to maintain connections. I don't have the same problem with my IPAQ and a BT1.0 GPS unit. That's why I've been waiting for SE to come up with a speakerphone rather than buying one of the others that have been on the market for a while, and have good reviews.

Just ordered one today, mainly as I carry passengers on a daily basis, and so a fully fitted kit is not any good to me, but this will be ideal for when I am not carrying anyone. All other times I use BT headsets, currently use a HBH-300 with my K800i orange branded phone, and a HBH-PV700 with my W810i orange branded phone, and a Jabra BT150 with my sim free K800i. The best thing about the HCB-100 is that you can connect more than one phone to it. Will let you know what I think of it when it comes. I too have had fitted kits before, but have always fitted them myself, as I too do not trust install centres, not that they all are bad, just I have had some bad dealings with them.

update: just received replacement HCB-100 from SE shop.
Checked my phone is uptodate, SEUS, and did a master reset to be sure.
Unfortunately, my K750i will not stay connected to this unit - disconnects at anywhere from 5 to 20 mins. A friends K750i (original firmware) does the same: but someone else's Samsung d900 works perfectly with it.
SE support - say that I should use SEUS to get the latest firmware (new release on 14/9 - won't yet install on my phone which is on O2) but beyond that they can't help.
I vaguely remember that it's important HOW you add a BT device to the phone, can anyone enlighten me? (it can obviously be added from within the profile, or from within call settings or bluetooth in settings section). Thanks !
