I'm happy with the Parrot. I've been out of town for the past week and not driving at all, so I can't really elaborate any more on the qualitative aspects. I've also never had a car kit before, so I don't know what to expect sound quality wise.

Feature wise, I'd say the Parrot definitly wins over what I've read about the sony. The voice recognition on the Parrot seems up to the task, and I like that it has seperate voice tags from the phone. from your comment about the "remote pad" I'm not sure if you're clear that the current version ships with a answer/end button that's fairly similar to the ericsson. It doesn't have volume, and for some unknown reason the led lighting it is always on, even if the kit is off. Original versions relied only on voice commands, but having the buttons is definitly a Good Thing.

I'm happy with it and glad I bought it over the Sony. I havn't actually tried the sony, so I'm not sure what i'm missing and what I'm getting.
