While combing through my photos from Mobile World Congress, I stumbled on one little gem that had managed to slip through the flurry of press releases and launch events. These HF-310 Speakerphones were looking a little lonely at the Nokia booth when everyone was oogling the N97 not far away, but they were pretty impressive. One-touch call control and volume adjustment around the rim made these things very practical, and the suction cup/clip/dash mounts let you really put them anywhere in your car.  Full specs include:
