An Internet search found a device that seems to provide a solution closer to what I want: the SYNC 20 (M) USB-A, but that website frustratingly does not provide prices. I suspect that this device costs much more than what I am prepared to pay.
Yesterday, I happened to be in the local shopping mall, so I went into a store that sells mobile phones and accessories. I asked them whether they had the sort of device that I was looking for; they didn't but suggested a few options.
And then the penny dropped: the devices that they were offering provided sound from the bluetooth speaker, but one had to speak into the phone as this is where the microphone is. I very strongly suspect that this is the same as the F25: one hears through the device's speaker, but the microphone is the phone's. Thus if I keep the phone in my pocket, it's not surprising that I wouldn't be heard on the other end. This means that if I want to be heard, I will have to keep the phone in the stand - which is not what I want to do.
After leaving the store, the cheap and cheerful solution occurred to me: when I sit down to work, I will take the phone out of my pocket and leave it on my desk. Should someone call me, I will use the speakerphone function on the phone. This may not be exactly what I'm looking for, but it's good enough.
In the mean time, I'm offering the F25 for adoption.
