Ok well the CSS-20 comes in the usual  accessory packaging which requires great perseverance, personal strength, a very sharp knife and some bandages to get into it.
Once extracted I was quite surprised by the small size of the CSS-20 even though I have seen the pictures on the :SE: shop site and on the global support page.
You need to plug in the charger that came with your phone in order for this to work. There is the normal full width connector so you can plug in a headset or data cable.
When you connect the phone it switches to the 'in car' profile which is more than my in car pama plug'n'go kit does as this only switches to headset profile!
The unit has three switches, 2 on the front and one on the right hand side. The big push button on the front is for answering or disconnecting a call and the smaller push button behind that is for muting the call. The sliding button on the side switches between speaker and headset.
I tested with 3 calls and in all cases I could hear loud and clear. The other parties all said I was loud and clear too and one of them even said they had to hold their phone away from their ear because I was coming across so loud!
Speaking of volume, the CSS-20 does not have a volume switch but you can adjust the speaker volume from the handset in the normal manner.
All in all I am very happy with this accessory. Its one that should have been available years ago but it was well worth the wait.

the phone looks like its gonna topple any moment... will prolong "tiltation" of the phone in that manner spoil the connectors? |

no, it seems to be a very solid connection and in fact the bottom of the phone rests in a groove which makes it hard to come out even if I give it a reasonable push at the top of the phone.

Wonderful, finally a speaker unit for the office. But when will SE introduce a speaker unit that is mobile? A small speaker/mic that's easy to carry around with? I have seen similar in Motorola's line. |

I read your review...  by the way is great ...  i just need one more opinion , but be really honest if ... a call comes in can you really heard the other guy well  or do you have to really get close to the mic , im telling you this because i use to have a gadget like that for my motorola  and there was really no point of having a speakerphone because if i walked away from the desk...  well you get the idea , so i just threw the thing away , but i really like my
t68i so like i said please be honest and let me know ... thanks
I almos forgot , can you set the profile to autoanswer or do you have to push a button  every time a call comes in Thanks !!

As mentioned, the volume is dependant on your phone volume setting so if you have that up loud, as I do, you will hear the speaker phone across the room and they will hear you because the microphone is seems to be very sensitive.
The phone switches to car profile when connected so behaves just like in car so yes, the auto answer will work.

As mentioned in my first post in this thread, I paid 29.99 pounds and US$60 converts to about 36 pounds so that sounds expensive. Might be worth looking around a bit.

I have one, but the phone (p800) keeps switching between "headset" and "car" when it's on the deskstand. So can't really use it. I have tried it as well with my friends t610, same problem.
Is it broken, or is there a setting in the phone that I'm missing
thanks

Mine does not do that so it sounds like a dodgy connection on the stand if it does the same for 2 phones you have tried
