Can this be used for a speaker phone,? Does it have a good microphone pickup?

There's no mic pickup - this is just a speaker. That does not mean you can't use it as the speaker portion of a speakerphone, however. Paired with a Cell phone, it should give you the room sound of the other party, while the mic on the phone picks up your voice.

Yep, it has a mic and is great as a speakerphone . I've had no complaints on how I sound to others.

It has no microphone pickup! This is just a really good portable Stereo speaker driven by a music source (i.e. nano) via blue tooth.

It could be - I'm not sure about the sound quality in terms of what you may be looking for. It's not really meant to play as a "boom box" or similar. It's really just for voice note recording. I have it because decades ago, I had a few overseas penpals and we used to make voice tape letters for each other, and I wanted something inexpensive to play it. Then I used it to record some songs I was writing just to remember how the tunes went for later. It's a really basic device. So, it could work for your intentions, if you had the right jack, but I don't know how the sound quality will be. (:

Hi Amir, The item allow volume control and pick up phones with the button. It doesn't have built in microphone. Thanks

This does not have a microphone, so i doubt it will work well as a speaker phone.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but the unit can operate as a speakerphone. The microphone is located on the front of the unit and towards the bottom, so it might have problems picking up someone from the side or behind though.

Yes it works flawlessly, it should appear as a speaker and microphone. I believe we only tested with gotomeeting, but it should work with all of those services the same

In order to use the microphone, it has pick up noise ... If you want to use the phone connection, then you don't want to keep it in the console

In my opinion, it isn't really designed for phone calls. First, the mic is on a back of speakers and duality of sound is lower for phone, than for music.At least for my Motorolla phone. But for listening music it is great.

I do not think that it can be used as a speaker phone. It does have a "flash" button. It also has a "volume control" - which is helpful, and a port for pluging in a head-set (which I have never used), plus "redial" , but can only store 10 numbers in its memory -plus "speed-dial" buttons for police, fire, and ambulance.

Hi Coty, have youtried the speakerphone function? how sensitive the mic is? can you speak like 0.5 m to 1 m from the mic and yet the other side still hear you clearly?

I thought it was cool and funny, to have an Iphone with the classic phone handset, It is a great fun gift. Usefulness is questionable? It uses a standard 3.5mm microphone jack. I do not know if it will work with your phone.

No speaker phone-Hold works with each line separately Note: With use there is static in receiver--it's coming from cradle switch--just jiggle the switch and it goes away--took phone apart but could not find a simple fix.

Dear S., Thank you for your inquiry. The Polk Audio Camden Square is a terrific sounding portable wireless bluetooth speaker, but as it does not have a built-in microphone it cannot be used as a speakerphone. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you! Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I just purchased this MIC for our conf. room computer that we use with Web-Ex and Team Viewer online meetings and works great, you will need some sort of splitter that adapts the port to go both ways for a speaker and mic, but if your phone has the option for speaker mode built into it you would be all set. We are connected to our TV so we are able to use that speaker, I hope this helps and gives you a better idea with our scenario for your needs.

The microphone on this device works very well. I have actually used it for business conference calls and it performed well. I bought this device to listen to my music from Pandora on my BlackBerry Torch 9810. I have since found it to be a great business tool as well. I would HIGHLY recommend this speaker.

Never tried to record phone conversations but if you can use speaker phone I'm sure you would be able to. The microphone is pretty sensitive.

Depends upon the speaker. I used this for two interviews. The first was in a room with the recorder on a nearby table. The second was a phone interview with the phone set to speakerphone. In both cases the pickup was better than expected and it seemed to hear as well as I could. If you can hear the lecture well enough, I suspect it will do fine.
