I never thought that holding a cell phone was a good idea. I used to use
a corded earpiece/microphone with our first cell phone. Our Escape has
the Sync system and uses bluetooth to link the phone so our talking is
picked up by a pair of microphones in the rear-view mirror and the other
half is played though the car's stereo speakers. It works out quite
well.

Unfortunately, some do-gooder is going to say that even hands-free
calling is too distracting and try to get that outlawed. The other party
knows that when my attention is needed for driving, there might be some
long and awkward pauses in the conversation until I can safely return to
the conversation (ask Ruth about that). Unfortunately, some people seem
to focus way too much on the conversation instead of the driving. These
people will eventually spoil it for those of us who know how to use
technology responsibly.

Here's something to help you use up some of the supply of eggs.
