Sonos Move - Speaker Phone

So I own several Sonos One and a Sonos Beam and am very happy with what the system does. Having said that I am very frustrated with what it doesn't do.

I have a Sonos product in every room in my house except my office. I work from home and do not like having headphones in my ear and prefer to work through a speakerphone. Unfortunately Sonos does not have a product that works as a speakerphone and the most frustrating point is that Sonos does not support Alexa phone calling, texting or any other outside calling feature. And NO, I do not want to buy an echo dot.

So now I see that the Sonos Move is coming out and am very interested in the Bluetooth feature with the Far Field Microphone array. Unfortunately, I only see from the marketing about how great it is for talking with AI assistants like Alexa and absolutely no information about how it will work as a professional speakerphone.

My Question is: Has the Sonos Move been tested as a Bluetooth speaker phone? If so how well do the far field microphones work for translating my voice over the phone? Does the system use Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for microphone tuning? Noise cancellation, Echo cancellation....etc?

Please let me know. I would really like this to work. Thanks

    You're telling me my phone can't use Sonos Move to make the call?

    I mean it's bluetooth, it'll play the audio from your paired device but wont "make" the call that's done on your phone.

    Being able to use a Move as a speakerphone would be excellent - please make it happen SONOS

      Same here. I would really find iOS phone integration valuable. The Move. moves with me around the house and its an obvious benefit

        No BT phone is a deal breaker for me - all other BT speakers I have come across support the BT phone profile. Just turn it on for goodness sake.

          As a Sonos Move owner I’d also love if on Bluetooth I’d be able to do phone calls. For me it’d be a fair tradeoff to use Bluetooth during the working hours and change to wifi connection afterwards when I’m not making business calls frequently anymore. Dear developers, please add this feature in a near-future update! Let it be our Christmas gift!

          It seems I'm in the minority here.  I already have cheaper and smaller bluetooth speakers I can make calls with.  I cannot open my Move until Christmas and I will be using it a dinner party later that evening.  What I do not want is to hear my phone ringing across it as I and my guess are listening to music. I purchased this purely for Music.I can see how being able to use it as a speaker phone my be appealing to some, so if it is added I hope it is something you can disable.

          Just my 2 cents.
