The 1.8-inch color TFT screen displays track and album details when playing music and phonebook information when making or taking a call. When in music mode, the track details are grouped by source, artist, album and title. Users can select their source, see the track information and enjoy their music. The Parrot DS3120 has its own battery power source when required, allowing for up to 10 hours playback, and weighs in at only 1.5kg / 3.3 lbs making it highly portable.

When receiving incoming calls with caller ID, music is automatically muted and any phonebook images stored on the user's mobile phone are displayed on the bright screen. The Parrot DS3120 will be available in Europe and the U.S. in the second quarter of 2008 with a suggested MSRP of $249.99.
