[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 792081, member: 15141"] If it's just the phone then something like a Scala will work for you. If you want to add bike to bike then you are probably looking at something like a Starcom but then you are hardwired at that point. The Garmin Zumo will bluetooth with the phone and will also give you call display so you can ignore the boss trying to bother you with work junk while you are riding. Unfortunately there are some reports that the bluetooth on the 660 Zumo sometimes gets confused between the music, gps, phone, shopping list, etc. Garmin's take on this is unfortunately somewhat like Microsoft customer service. They will solve the problem by making your current unit obsolete and then add a whole new set of problems into their new unit. But I digress. I've looking into this for sometime and decided I don't need to answer the phone while I am riding but bike to bike is a nice-to-have. I am probably going to go with the Starcom unit with my iPhone hardwired for music, the Garmin 276c hardwired for direction (the unit is to old for bluetooth but solid as a rock) and a radio hardwired for bike to bike with everything powered from the bike.
