We here at The BerryFix are BlackBerry Fanboys at heart and as soon as we saw this video making the rounds on the internet, we couldn’t help but laugh at how true it is. This video continues on the mocking style of the iPhone 4 vs HTC Evo video, which was made popular because the Best Buy employee who created it was later fired for making the video.

The Jabra Cruiser in-car Bluetooth speakerphone was sent to us by the team at Jabra for review. I have been using this device for the past few weeks and I have been very impressed with its feature set and quality. The setup and use of this device are very simple and the long cord on the in-car charger is very helpful in keeping the Cruiser fully charged and ready to use.  The voice that announces events on the Cruiser is a calm and soothing female voice. The Cruiser is available at most major electronics retailers for an MSRP of $99.99. The full review with additional photos of the Jabra Cruiser in-car Bluetooth Speakerphone is featured afte the break.
