Brilliant
The car charger is great, out of the way but convenient in both a minivan and a roadster. Some folks will complain about the lack of an AC adapter - pick up a USB-AC plug if you need it, they're cheap. If you're like me, just leave it in the car, since that's where it's needed most often. | 1positive

Fair Alternative
Works to get the music from MP3 player to vehicle reciever/sound system. Not the cleanest way to listen, but without an auxillary input to the vehicle system, the FM transmitter works well enough. Has made letting go of satalite radio much easier! Overall, seems to work pretty well. | 1positive

Great product with ease of installation
This item comes very handy with the Wireless Plantronics Digital head set. It lifts and drops the handset automatically. At first, I though it would be difficult to install, but trust me, by following the instruction I did it in a fairly short time. | 1positive

Disappointed
They don't tell you that your ipod will not work unless you buy a D650 (bluetooth for your ipod). I spent $50 for the T605, $130 for the install and i still can't play my ipod. I called motorola and they told me I need a D650 (which costs $50). I might as well have bought an after market car stereo that does it all... | 0negative

DUST under the screen!
OK, if you keep this phone in your pocket, you WILL get lint and dust UNDER the screen. And there's NO WAY to clean it out.I've had my phone for 5 weeks and I started noticing dust on the screen that I couldn't clean off. That's when I noticed that the dust was under the screen, not on it. So I took it to a Cingular store and they said, "Oh, well just thump the screen until the dust falls to the bottom." Um... what? And then they said, "Or, just don't carry it in your pocket."That was it. That's their answer to this problem. Thump the screen. (it doesn't work, btw. the static on the inside of the screen holds the dust like a magnet.)Oh, and if you google "Dust inside razor phone screen," you'll see that lots and lots and lots of people have this problem.Oh yeah, one more thing, Motorola will NOT fix the phone for you. Neither will Cingular. Even if you have insurance. They say it's your problem, not a phone problem. | 0negative

bad phone & bad service
Tmobile has replaced this phone 3 times. same problem: frozen phone & dropped calls. Tmobiles answer was to sell me (1) new phone (2) more services or (3) same phone again. I just want them to fix the problem. | 0negative

BEWARE - Limited number of uses!
I purchased this item in July and it stopped working for me the last week of September. So, it lasted only 3 months and for maybe 12 uses in that time frame. Even when it worked I had a hard time hearing anyone because the unit was so quiet and muffled. People on the other end said they could hear me fine, but it doesn't do much good if I can't hear them.Now that it is past 30 days, I can't return this item to Amazon for a full refund. And even if I could, would it be worth spending $8 in shipping to get a refund on a $15 item? There is a reason this item is reduced from $30 to $15. Buyer beware! | 0negative

Get what you pay for...
Set up and synching to my Sony Ericson was very easy (hint: hold the button down for longer than the manual says- till you see both red and blue lights). Either my or the headset keeps losing synch but it's straighforward to re-establish. The speaker quality is excellent as well as the volume control. The microphone only works if you use the additional over-the-ear attachment and the foam speaker cover. Both move the mic away from your head so it can pick up sound. With that done, folks say I sound ok but not as good as without the headset. Without doing that, folks say it sounds like I'm talking through my chest. For the price- it's not bad. | 0negative

my i880
I have had my i880 since November. I do like the phone very much.cons:1. Like most people, I would like to use songs off of the sd card as ringtones, and to use pictures on the card as my photo ID. I believe the way around the latter is to email it to the phone, and save it that way. that is what i did when I had the i760.2. a few bugs. My external screen cracked. Phone was replaced. a month later, i go to flip open the phone, and the internal display is upside-down. the phone still does everything it should though.3. I don't know if this is the phone, or the iden, but i sure do get a lot of call failed, system busy 22 errors.Pros1. the stereo speakers are fantastic. Like all nextels, the phones are easy to hear them ring.2. the voice caller id is great. it weirded me out the first time i heard it as I was unaware the phone would either speak the number or say the name and whether they were calling you from the home, mobile, work or other number. the pronunciation is spot on as well, even with difficult last names. You can turn this off if you don't want your significant other knowing who is calling you. It does save on buying ringtones to differentiate who is calling.3. the interface with the camera and mp3 are extremely easy to use. i really don't use the mp3 player that often as i use my sansa rhapsody, but it is nice in a pinch.overall, i like the phone a lot. My biggest recommendation to anyone that has this or any nextel/sprint phone is to pay the extra $$ and get the phone insurance. BOth times this phone messed up, it was fixed for free | 1positive

Clear and comfortable
This is my second headset replacing the Motorola one that came with my cell phone. People I call tell me that the sound is very clear on their end and cannot tell that I am using the headset - sounds just like I am talking into the phone. That was not the case with the first one. I travel a lot and wear the headset for long periods. My ear does not get tired or sore from having it on. The headset seems well balanced and never seems like it is going to fall off regardless of what I am doing. I also like that it folds flat for easy carrying in my shirt pocket. | 1positive

Good Sound. Great Product. If only I could see it.....
Well for starters I usually don't buy monster equipment because I think it is usually over priced but I got this on sale, and I am very pleased with it.The sound that this transmits to my car stereo is very clear and crisp and with all the options of different stations, there is always a station that is clear. If it there is static creeping up. Just go to another station.My only gripe is that if there is any sun, any what so ever, you can not see what station you are on. The red plastic + the red LCD + the red/orange/yellow sun = Looks like it is off. If I could always see it, this would have 5 stars. | 1positive

Plantronics Bluetooth - Best So Far
I went through two Motorola HT700 Bluetooth units and a Motorola wired unit on my RAZR phone. The HT700's were terrible. No one could hear me and they were hard to put on my ear. I wear glasses and maybe that contributed to the issue, but nonetheless it was a challenge. The wired unit was hard to keep in my ear while driving and would occasionally fall out. I bought the Plantronics 510 and have been very happy with the comfort, and the sound quality. The only drawback is the on off switch is a bit of a challenge to get to operate (there must be a more convienient way to get this done). Overall the Plantronics is a much better unit and I would recommend this over the Motorola HT700 "high end product" everytime. | 1positive

More about Amazon than charger
When looking for almost anything on the net, I check out Amazon first. I've got an account, credit card on record, etc, and the prices are comparable. When I needed a charger for my cell phone I found what I needed at Amazon.The charger works, the price was okay, and a couple of tippy-taps and the charger was on the way. The charger fit the phone and works well. No worries, mate. | 1positive

Great product
I bought this headset mainly for 2 reasons. One is that I prefer the behind the ear type headsets and this one goes on easily and feels comfortable. Secondly, I needed a headset that would sync with 2 devices and it works as promised. I have a work and personal cell phone and I can use one headset for both phones without having to resynchronize.My only complaint about the headset is the very, very small power button. It's sometimes hard to tell if you are pressing it in all the way to turn it on/off. | 1positive

You get what you pay for...
Short & sweet. I bought this because it was a good deal and the reviews were decent. The headsets I owned before this were... The Jawbone (Original) which had great audio and battery, but was uncomfortable and unpocketable. Then, the blueant Z9 serviceable comfort, bad sound and lost, due to the unstable built in clip. Moving on to the next victim.In it's defense, this headset is the most comfortable I've ever owned. Bad news? The battery life is unforgivably short. The audio is mediocre. If you're in a quiet place, it's fine. Add ambient noise and the party is over. Also, should you lose the cleverly designed charging case, there is no longer a way to charge it. Had I known this before, it would have been a pass.Spend a few extra bucks.This one's a pass. | 0negative

Not Worth the Hype
I'll admit, this was my 1st bluetooth headset I've used, so I don't have any others to compare it to. However, before purchasing this I did the research & read the reviews, etc. I have small ears & comfort is key for me. I was attracted to its size & weight first & its style second. The fact that its a Motorola was only a slight plus for me as I'm increasingly becoming very dissatisfied with anything Motorola. I used this with my Motorola L7 SLVR phone.Sound - not bad. I could hear & be heard, but there was always some static in the background. Got to be very annoying. Also, others on the receiving end said I sounded like I was on a speakerphone & could hear any & all background noise & sounds. It was distracting for the other end to listen to me.Connection - it connected easy enough, however, it didn't stay connected for very long when not on a call. I kept having to go to my phone & reconnect the headset to the phone. That may have been a problem with my phone, but I couldn't be sure. This too was very disappointing as I felt like I was wearing it for nothing being that it would disconnect without my knowing it. It may have been a combination of the headset having issues & my phone having issues. Again, I couldn't say for sure.Comfort - as I mentioned I have small ears. The headset was light enough. In fact, it seemed a little too light. It didn't sit well on my ear & it felt like it was going to fall off at any given moment. The ear wire didn't seem to fit well either, after only about 20 mins. or so I started to get sore behind my ear. Putting it on seemed awkward as well. I had to use both hands to put it on securely, & it still felt like it wasn't on right. Of course, this could just be the shape of my ear, but it was still rather annoying.In summary, I felt it was a waste of money. I returned the headset for a full refund. I'm now shopping & researching for a new wireless headset. I'm leaning towards the Plantronics Discovery 640. I hope it turns out well. | 0negative

not working
I received my Jabra C250 and when I went to use it for the first time, (3 or 4 days after it had arrived) it did not work. I've had a good experience with using my Jabra bt250v for many years, but the Jabra C250 did not keep that positive experience going and I'm returning it to amazon this week. | 0negative

All the whizzbang features, but does the basics poorly
There's not much this little fellah can't do, outside of gently waking you up each day with some gentle music and a nice hot cup of coffee, and even that it can nearly do - it can wake you up and supply the music, just not the coffee.However, I'm a fairly no-nonsense business user. I couldn't give a hoot about ring tones, or MP3 functionality, or video calls, or having the Microsoft Office suite on board - I need a phone which is reliable, easy to use, and sturdy. Admittedly, having a camera is a nice extra. The rest is, in my mind, youthful dalliance. You might ask why I opted for this phone. In truth, I ask myself that question fairly regularly, too.Nokia has given this phone a new user interface - I suppose intended to be an improvement over the traditional Nokia one, but it is remarkably counter-intuitive, and in some cases just doesn't work.* For the life of me, I can't find a way of bulk deleting text messages on the phone itself, and deleting them one-by-one seems to require at least three keystrokes per message. Now it's true one could use the PC interface to do this but, frankly, I can never be bothered to sync to the PC, so this isn't a hassle-free option.*** POST SCRIPT : There IS a way of bulk deleting texts off the phone (thanks to those who wrote to me to point this out) - you need to "mark all" and then "delete" (a bit like on a hotmail account). In fairness to me this is by no means obvious let alone intuitive, and being the sort of alpha-male who never reads an instruction manual, I never would have found this out were it not for the collective power of the Amazon community! **** The configuration of the buttons means it is very easy to accidentally call someone when the phone is knocking around in my bag. This happens to me about once a week, and it's usually embarrassing - like when I'm singing along to my iPod or something. Yes, I know, I should lock my keypad, and most of the time I do, but it's a fact of life that I don't always. I have never had this problem with previous Nokia phones (I've owned about seven different models).* The camera is high resolution, but it isn't high enough. It seems to me you either go the whole hog and have genuine 3 megapixel+ digital camera, or you may as well have the blurry old images from the trusty old 6230 which, I have to say, remains for me my favourite Nokia phone.* This is the critical one - the phone's reception just isn't that great. I frequently find I am unable to make calls around my home, in suburban London. I never had that trouble with the 6230. Given I haven't switched networks, I can only attribute this to the phone.* Also, it's very plasticky - I've had it maybe three months now, but I don't fancy its chances of surviving another nine until my contract is up. I'm tough on my phone.I guess we're stuck in an age where the heavy-use, content-added superconsumer drives mobile phone design, and the superconsumers are brainless teenagers, but for me, the perfect mobile phone design would be one which accentuated sturdiness and sound quality: give me a 6230-shaped model with a decent camera, hard-tail aluminium construction and decently-specified audio componentry which would last for ten years, and I might never buy a phone again.Chances of that happening, in this age of disposable consumerism?

Wonderful
I bought my mom an MP3 player for Christmas, and her truck's stereo system doesn't have an MP3 jack or a cassette deck, so her only option was an FM Transmitter. I bought this one for her because I have the same one designed for the iPod and I love it (the only difference is this one won't charge the player).The easy-to-follow instructions are on a plastic card attached to the device (which you can leave attached for future reference if you need it). The sound quality is equal to that of an FM radio station broadcast. If you have an available cassette deck, the cassette adapters have a much better sound quality because it's not competing for airwaves (plus they're cheaper and the easiest to use).I discovered an additional use for this item that I think is neat and would like to share. Recently I lost the power cord to my cell phone. WalMart didn't have a replacement for my particular phone (and I REFUSE to pay $30 for one at the Verizon store). But they did have an adapter that converts a car charger into a wall charger (Just Wireless brand DC/AC Power Converter for ~$10); so I'm able to bring my car charger inside, cram it in this Converter and plug it directly into a standard outlet. I got the bright idea to use it with this Monster Transmitter, and it worked. We just tuned the stereo system in the house to 88.1, plugged the transmitter into the Converter somewhere near the stereo, and we were able to use it inside, too. Who needs an iHome?! Ha! | 1positive

IT WASN'T WORKING WHEN I GOT IT ! ! !
I bought Sony Eicsson T 610 mobile phone along with this Jabra Bluetooh.Iwas really suprised with the price of bluetooh. It was only $29.99 with Amazon.com. However, my bluetooh arrived defective : it's not even charging, and doesn't work at all!Moreover, my T-610 arrived unactivated. Today is 3-rd day I have it, and still it's just a good toy, I can't use it!Not to mention that my items were almost 2 weeks delayed!In addition to all said above, i am unable to return my Jabra Bluetooh, because on my online account it says "Shipping Soon".The fact is I was delivered 2 days ago.I never expected something like that from Amazon.com, I was a consistent custumer till now. Now I will think twise before buing something from them. | 0negative

Warnings: Can't return it to merchant, and unsupported in the U.S., BUT..
I recieved this phone as a Christmas gift, and have two warnings: The merchant will not accept returns, and Motorola customer service says this phone is not usable by any carrier in the U.S. However, I was able to find a local phone store which sucessfully programmed the Internet access through T-Mobile zones. This was not a "no-brainer": the phone software is loaded with a dozen or so European service providers, and you'll need to know and add to the phone the IP addresses to access your phone company's servers.On the plus side, this phone's screen is a true stunner: it's bright and crisp, and nicely displays a web page in either horizontal or vertical orientation. Should the built-in software leave you wanting more, there seems to be hundreds of free java phone applications available for this phone on Motorola fan websites. | 0negative

takes almost 15 hours to charge
product arrived on time and as described, but this is a very low power (read: slow) charger. it took almost 15 hours to fully charge my kindle. maybe ok for other smaller devices like phones. For the kindle you' re better off buying the amazon quick charger, even though it's so expensive | 0negative

Li-ion battery for Samsung SCH-A670
This battery is advertized as being equivalent to the standard battery supplied with a new phone. Unfortunately, the standby time with this one is only about 50% of the standby time with a new Samsung-brand battery. On the plus side, this battery does allow one to continue to use the phone and the price cannot be beaten. | 0negative

Stylish, but unsatisfying
The headset has all the style it promised. The sound was good without being great. I found it difficult to use:1. Despite for different ear holders, it never became stable2. The ear piece kept falling out (and getting lost) which make it uncomfortable and less stable in the ear3. It appears that it's draining battery unless you explicitly turns it off. I kept finding that it wasn't ready.I've returned to my default choice of Plantronics. | 0negative

It does work but it is not easy to set up
Until we got the zboost set up we could not get service at all in the house. This is not good because I have clients trying to reach me on my cell phone. I needed to at least be able to check messages on my cell. I could get one and maybe two bars outside on my balcony of my two story house. By setting up the zboost in my office with the antenae at the hightest peak of a catherdral ceiling. I am now able to get one and sometimes two bars inside sitting at my desk with the amplifier next to me.If you can put your antenae outside it works much better. We just didn't want to do this and it works good enough for us as it is. This instructions and support were not very good. That is why I only give it 4 stars. After we figured everything out on our own we understood what they were saying. | 1positive

Outstanding
As a light to moderate cell phone user, I found this phone (the 8610) and Virgin Mobile perfect for my needs.Adding $20 once every three months to keep the phone active is great, especially since the purchased minutes essentially roll over if unused. Being in a major SoCal city, my reception is consistently outstanding and better than my previous contract service, though it should be noted one can't use the phone (beyond 911) in "roaming" areas on the Sprint network -- one is limited to the formal Sprint PCS network which generally covers major cities and roads in all 50 states.Minutes are currently 25 cents per minute for the first ten minutes each day, then 10 cents thereafter. No peak/off-peak stuff, no long-distance, etc. Perfect for what I need periodically. I know I'm sounding like a VM marketing person, but I'm not one. :)Biggest downside to the 8610 is that it's a VM-specific phone. One is more-or-less pretty much stuck with their ringtones / wallpapers / games, though they have pretty nice additional ringtone offerings at the least at the VM website (for $2-$2.50). I suppose one might also have to deal with the VM brand being geared towards the youth / MTV crowd in general, but I personally couldn't care less.Anyway, all-in-all, an outstanding phone and service for those who don't want monthly bills / sometimes don't use their phone enough to justify normal contracts. If I were to use a phone with family enough long-distance (or wanted WAP access), I might find a "family plan" elsewhere, but I absolutely couldn't be happier for now.I was waiting for this kind of phone and very affordable prepaid "plan" that Virgin Mobile offers for years, and continue to be ecstatic with the phone and service for my own relatively mild needs. All I might suggest is that one also consider the "slider" phone also presently offered, as some seem to occasionally prefer it as an option. | 1positive

Ear Boom? Hardly
The ear attatchments are great but it didn't plug into my phone very well (Nokia) and the sound was aweful but if all your looking for is a part time use ear phone then this will work. I really liked the way the attatchments fit my ear snuggly and I didn't have to worry about it falling out which usually happens with the stock one that Nokia sent me. The clip is a little big and bulky too. | 0negative

Not bad if you don't need the camera
When I went shopping for a camera phone, it came down to the T610/T616 or the Nokia 3650.The menuing system on the T610 is great. It's only counter intuitive in a few places. One small problem is that I organize my address book in levels (i.e. by name, and then I drill down into the name to get the numbers). When organized this way, the voice dialing only lets you assign a voice-tag to the primary phone number of any particular name. That means if I want to assign a voice-tag to my friends cell phone AND home phone, I have to break-out his information into 2 seperate entries in my address book.One of the main reasons I got it, was for the Bluetooth functionality, which works great. I got a free Jabra BT-200 Bluetooth headset in a package deal from Amazon, and it works flawlessly with the phone. Connecting to my laptop via Bluetooth and dialing out to the internet works very well.The screen looks great, and at 65k colors, it beats out the Nokia 3650's 4k significantly. It's not TFT, so it's somewhat difficult to see during the day.The polyphonic ringtones sound great, though it's difficult to get just the correct volume. I always think mine is too loud.I had reception problems in my area using AT&T; (T616), but everything is great with T-Mobile (T610). Other than some OEM menu customization, the phones are identical.The one drawback is the camera. I didn't get into this expecting great pictures, but the picture quality is pretty bad. The Nokia 3650 has VGA (640x480) quality pictures and an upgradable 16MB storage chip. The LARGE pics on the T610 are 288x352, which might account for the non-upgradable 2MB of storage space that's available. You must have near perfect conditions to take a picture that's not blurry. Plenty of bright light and a steady hand. There is a 'Night Mode' for low-light picture taking, but it doesn't seem to help much.When it comes down to it, I picked the T610 over the 3650 for it's size...it's significantly smaller than the Nokia. I don't want a brick in my pocket, and I'll gladly sacrafice a little quality for convenience and portability. | 1positive

Finally, wireless street styles
The only headphones I've ever trusted are Sony classic Street Style - they're comfortable, affordable, and have great sound quality. When I realized Sony had released this wireless pair, I was all over them.I had previously tried the Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones because I've long been interested in wireless audio, so most of my comparison will be to those.DesignThe Street Style form of these headphones is excellent - I prefer this style compared to over-the-head headphones, and I have a terrible time with earbuds.The neck band is almost exactly the same as a pair of wired Street Style headphones, with a little less bulk and no rubber "ear rests" that would sit on top of your ear. The band doesn't seem to grip your ears as well as a pair of wired Street Styles, but they are nearly as comfortable.The "foldable" design is something I could do without. I wouldn't care whether or not they folded, but the stock photo does not show how they redesigned the neck band to accommodate the fold. Instead of being a perfect curve, the neck band comes to a subtle pointed shape where it folds. Less attractive, but it makes no difference while you're wearing them.PerformanceThese headphones offer excellent sound quality, but only expect to get this when using the A2DP (advanced audio) Bluetooth profile (this goes for any Bluetooth headphones). This is only available on certain cell phones, with an adapter, or with special software on a computer. In my situation, I set these up with my MacBook Pro's built-in Bluetooth, but I have to use a software workaround to broadcast A2DP in Mac OS Tiger (a Google search will help you find that).The sound is surprisingly rich and satisfying. I don't think of myself as an audiophile, but if the sound is bad, I can't get into the music - and with these I've had very little trouble focusing on my music.In order to get a good balance of music and vocals, I did have to adjust the equalization in iTunes (unlike wired headphones, which I normally just plug in and go). With too much low frequency sound (bass) I did find that some music had an occasional popping noise - lowering those levels eliminated that issue and the phones still produce a good amount of bass. The effective frequency range on these is limited but I'm not sure if this is a result of the wireless technology or the speakers. I can't imagine Sony would use lousy speakers in something with an MSRP ten times the amount of a fine pair of their wired headphones.These headphones hold a very steady connection, within range. The Motos often cut out during simple movements like bending over to pick something up. I can safely exercise and move about a room without these dropping the connection.The battery life is more than acceptable for my use. I've used them for about 2 hours a day for the past 3 days and haven't had to do a second charge yet.Bluetooth/Wireless FaultsThere are a few issues which I blame on the Bluetooth/wireless technology, as it's just not perfect yet.There is a very subtle amount of static that can be heard when no music is playing, and sometimes in songs with less background music. This may also vary based on the device you're connecting to. I have tried eliminating interference and the static seems constant. It usually fades into the music while listening.If you're connected to a stationary object like a computer, don't expect to leave the room with these on. Bluetooth has a very limited range. If you use them with a cell phone or just in a single room, you'll be fine.I can't use my wireless Mighty Mouse while I'm listening to these. Both operating on Bluetooth, the mouse causes the audio to cut out every few seconds. Not sure about other Bluetooth devices, but expect interference. Wireless router doesn't seem to cause disconnection though.SummaryMy expectations of wireless headphones is very low. These are definitely a step in the right direction though. While the Motorola HT820 may have decent sound quality with A2DP (not tested), the Sony DRBT21G triumphs in comfort due to it's lighter and less bulky design.If you are able to connect to a device with A2DP and don't mind the caveats of wireless technology, I would recommend these as the best I have found so far. I bought these for about $95 but they're worth the $129.99 retail price. The freedom is worth it! | 1positive

THE BEST
I read many reviews on Amazon. All mostly good about this product. I hate things you have to put in your ear. I tried a few of the Jabra speakers for the car and they were all horrible. I decided to get this from Amazon. It came in two days. I paired it with my cell phone in 20 seconds. I charged it up for the night. I put it in my car to give a try on the way to work. It was so clear on both ends. I felt like a can talk all day. I have used it now for a week and no problems at all. It works so well. I even bring it in the house and use it. I saw some reviews about the mic being constructed bad. I am just careful when opening it and closing it. I also love when phone rings it beeps throught the speaker. All you do is hit the green button. It looks like a garage door opener. GREAT PRODUCT... | 1positive

Poor build quality...
I can't comment on the ability of this battery to hold a charge - I just put it into my phone (it does hold A charge...question is, how long?).However, the package arrived already opened (maybe an issue with the vendor) AND the battery itself was put together very poorly compared to the phone's original.When I first installed this new battery, the back of my phone barely closed, and had a visible bulge because the battery isn't constructed with much attention to detail. I stripped off a layer of labeling material and the battery now fits OK. However, it still has some bulging material visible and doesn't fit as well as the original.I didn't see too many options on Amazon for a replacement battery for my 8525 - I didn't want the bulge of an extended battery. But I would gladly pay more money for something that inspires more confidence and doesn't require surgery to fit in the phone. | 0negative

GREAT PRICE
What a great price for this item. It fit as advertised. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a 5 star rating is battery life; it's not as extended as I'd like, but better than the standard OEM version. | 1positive

Fabulous headset
I have used and tried several of the bluetooth headsets and resigned myself to the idea that I would never find one that is sufficiently loud to be used at highway speeds, I was wrong.This is the highest rated bluetooth headset on Amazon for a reason, it has the best sound and voice clarity, period.It may not look the "coolest" but it more than gets the job done.Great stand by and talk time as well. | 1positive

Nice Bluetooth Headset w/ Great Range
I was very skepticle about purchasing one of these headsets, until I first used mine. I was driving a total of 78 miles roundtrip daily, and holding a Sidekick3/MDA (Giant brick to your head) isn't the funnest thing.I was really impressed with how well I could hear my conversations and how well they could hear me. Now, I can't go anywhere without the thing, I have it on for most of the day for it's convenience. It fits comfortably on my ear when I don't have glasses on, but if you're like me and need your glasses, you might want to consider getting an in-ear headset. But I would still recommend this product to others. I can get great range with the headset as well. I have poor cell phone reception in my apartment, but I can actually leave my phone in my car and here the beeps of the headset to alert me of when I have a call. I'd say it gets about 30 feet of clear reception, but I've been as far as 50 feet. Great headset, great price, can't go wrong. | 1positive

Great phone!
I have been using this phone for 4 years and I'm very happy with it. It is a little bulky (compare to a basic flip on) but it has lots of useful stuff to make up for that, and it is fairly easy to use for a complex phone like that. I got it as part of a 2 year contract, but I wish that I could have gotten it on amazon (then). Anyone who is interested in switching from a 'kiddy' phone to a more complex one, but is a little fearful about the level of tech skill/know-how needed should consider this phone. It is affordable and on difficulty level from 1 to 10 (1 being basic flip on) and (10 being top of the line phone with MP3 -gameboard-web-and everything else ) this would be level 4. I recommend it! | 1positive

Horrible Headset
I purchased this headset for my mom's Sanyo phone. Not sure what the problem was, but this headset was completely horrible. Not only was the set up difficult, but the quality was the worst ever. It sounded like you were talking on a cordless phone from the 80's. There was a constant buzzing in the earpiece - which the other caller also heard. I returned this item to amazon and do not recommend it. | 0negative

Amazing for the price.
I use the Sprint Mogul and as many users of this phone know there are inherent problems with the bluetooth on this phone. Most people have the best luck with the Jawbone headsets and a few various Plantronics headsets that cost over $100, but I'm cheap and decided to try this model. It's great.I had absolutely not problems whatsoever pairing the headset and keeping it paired. The call quality is really good as well. I've specifically asked people who I talk to using the headset what it sounds like on their end and they tell me they can't tell I'm on a headset at all. The volume is good. Sometimes I even have to turn it down a notch or two.This product would get five stars except that sometimes I get a little static when the battery gets low, but that's not very often. Standby and talk times are very good.Unless you just HAVE to have a super-fancy headset, do yourself a favor and give this one a shot. I honestly can't imagine bluetooth getting much better than this. | 1positive

Hearing Aid Wearers!
I recently got hearing aids, and my old Sidekick II made an odd buzz and hiccup noise ad nauseum every time I used it with the hearing aids. I had checked on fixes for the hearing aid/cell phone mismatch problems and others said that most of the bluetooth headsets eliminated the problem. The new Sidekick 3 has bluetooth and the old one didn't. So, I splurged and bought this bluetooth headset.For anybody out there that's having the same problem, I bought this headset to use with my Sidekick 3 and completely eliminated the problem. The aids I have are by Siemens, and I don't know the model number, but they fit in the ear cannal and extend outside my ear a tiny bit further than my actual outer ear. The headset hook bends a bit when I wear it over the aid, and my ear bends a bit, too. I suspect that this would not be comfortable to wear all day, but for a few hours, it fits well and feels secure, and doesn't slide around. It's much more comfortable without the aid. I suspect that it might not work well with behind-the-ear aids, but I don't wear one and can't try it out, so I couldn't say.My hearing problem is mainly on the high end, and this headset works well without the hearing aids, too.Others have commented that this headset doesn't reproduce the low tones as well as they might like. From my discussions with the people who fitted my aids, I discovered that eliminating or lessening the lower tones from human speech tends to make the speech more understandable. Most of the sounds that contain meaning are in the higher end of the human speech range. So, for those of you who don't have a hearing problem, this MIGHT (I can't judge, because my hearing is not normal) not sound as good, but it should be more understandable and clearer than a headset that also includes the lower tones.For others with hearing aid/bluetooth headset questions, I suggest finding someone who has a headset that looks like it might work and asking if you can try it. | 1positive

DON'T BUY THIS ITEM - I wish I could give it -0- stars
I just got this headset and it won't charge or turn on. It looks like it has been used or refurbished. I say that because the first Motorola Bluetooth headset I got was from my Verizon store and it worked wonderfully for over a year until I recently lost it. This headset from Amazon looks different and is truly an inferior product. I tried to save $20 because Verizon is charging $60. Now I can't wait to return this and go to Verizon and pay the extra $20 to get one that works. I also called Amazon to file a complaint and suggest that they stop selling this item immediately to avoid more bad customer relations. Listen to all of these BAD reviews and don't get this from Amazon. I wish I would have done that. | 0negative

Plantronics Voyager 510 Headset
I've been using this with my Motorola E810 phone on Verizon for about 2 months now and it works great. I bought it mainly based on the other reviews posted here and elsewhere. I needed a headset that was loud enough to use in the car and this one is definetly loud enough and the sound is pretty clear too. Depending on who I'm talking to, sometimes the sound is too loud at the highest setting, and distorts a little. But just turning it down a notch or two and its perfect. I used several wired headsets before and would constantly ask people to repeat themselves. This never happens now. It is also very comfortable to wear. A little tricky to put on your ear, but once it's on it's very stable and I could wear it all day and not notice it there. I give this five stars for it's comfort, clarity, loudness and how good it works during calls. There are however some little annoyances, which for me, I can over look because of how well it works for me. The first one is the power button. Even after two months of daily use I still haven't got the hang of turning this thing on and off. It usually takes several tries. The button is very hard to press. You sort of have to press down and to the side, and it's hard to tell if you've got it pressed down or not. You hold it down and watch to see if the LED light turns from blue to red and then shuts off. Thing is you think you have it pressed down and your waiting for it to shut off and it just stays blue, so you have to try to press it down again. A lot of the times I do get it on the first try, and usually always get it on the second try. The second little annoyance is the Bluetooth connection during standby. Usually when I get a call I'll answer it normally, then take the headset out of my pocket, turn it on and it automatically connects and switches over from the phone to the headset. It works great. But sometimes when I'm expecting a call while doing something, I'll put the headset on turn it on and just wear it. Once in a while, the bluetooth connection will start disconnecting and then reconnecting every few minutes, which it beeps in the headset to signal this. This can be very annoying. Not sure of the cause of this. Could be low battery as it does happen sometimes after long phone conversations if I leave it on. But it happens other times too. Doesn't happen often enough or consistent enough to figure out. It has never lost connection during a call, and if it is disconnected when a call comes in it immediately connects. Another small thing to note is the blue LED light on the side of the microphone which constantly blinks when it is on. Why they made it like this is beyond me. People look at you weird wondering what that light is flashing on the side of your face and at night in the car the flashing is very noticable. On another note, I tried my friends Sony HBH-660 Bluetooth headset and it is almost as loud and a little more clear and it never disconnected but it was a little uncomfortable to wear at times. Hope this review helps. | 1positive

Great idea, great product, but could be improved
I recently bought this product and I find that I don't want to take it off! It does exactly what it says. I have it linked to my AT&T; cell phone and my ipod. On the ipod I have a sony bluetooth wireless transmitter. When the phone rings the earpiece vibrates and at first it can be strange but it does get your attention.The earpiece does not fit inside the ear so I feel comfortable driving as I can hear the ambient noise with both ear units on. A suggestion for the manufacturer would be to have two types of earplugs. One set for inside the ear and another set for outside the ear. I know some people prefer one type or the other. When not driving if there is a lot of outside noise I would prefer having the option to put the earpiece in the ear and block out the noise.The only negative comment I have is that there are no separate volume controls for each ear. I have a slight hearing problem in one ear and having separate volume controls would really be an improvement for me. | 1positive

Don't let the bad reviews stop you! This is a GREAT phone!
My husband and I found this phone online and got a GREAT deal, we actully got paid $350 to own two of them and set up Tmobile! So, after we got the shipping confirmation we came to this site and read the reviews. We were horrified! We thought we had made a huge mistake with this phone and thought we might have to sell them and get new ones. When they arrived we both cautiously unpacked them, making sure that everything stayed pristine so we could return them or sell them if we needed to. I was sure we would have a problem.Well, it has been 2 months now and we LOVE our phones. They are great!! We have great reception, the pictures are fun, blue tooth is cool etc etc. What a relief! Both phones work great, sound great and and look cool. I am so happy we got them. I think the other reviews are from people who wish they could afford a more expensive phone with all the extras, settle on this one, and are disappointed becuase they really wanted the grander versions of the high tech phone world.For us this is a great phone. The buttons are small, but not a problem for either one of us. The joystick is fun and the games entertaining. This is not the ultimate deluxe future phone with whipped cream and a cherry on top, but it is fun, higher tech than most phones and acutally does what a phone is supposed to do with a spunky lemon lime twist here and there. The reception is pretty good too and we live on an island in the San Juans near Seattle so I was not sure if it would work.There are some minor things that took adjusting to, the text message with every voicemail thing is pretty annoying, but all in all we are very happy. The camera is fun, not amazing, but a nice feature. We have a digital camera for pics we are more serious about. I recommend this phone for people who don't want to make a serious investment (you can acutally get paid to take this phone!) but want a phone with some fun, higher tech features. And best of all, it is NOT a sprint phone, cause as we all know sprint SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 1positive

I wish you could choose 0 (Zero) Stars
This product sync'd up pretty quick. It was powered out of the box, though I charged it for a hour or 3 right after first use. I've had it set for my pearl 8130 (new from sprint), my work computer, my co-wokers (a few of them)'s computers as well as my wife and kid's. Varrying usb bluetooth connectors (my kid's laptop has his built in) and they all are the same. Static is constant from any high pitched sound. Listening to metallica, tool, tim mcgraw or vivaldi, dosen't matter. They all are horrible quality. It's a world of difference from the ht820's.... Atleast amazon takes their stuff back. Perhaps I need a way to rate the product and rate the seller (product 0, seller on a scale of 1 to 5, amazon is a 8)... | 0negative

Cheap, temporary.
First of all let me say that I purchased this product to convert my PC mic into an Xbox 360 mic. While talking to my friends through Party Chat, they were able to hear me (although unreliably), however I was unable to hear their voices at all through my headset, and had to settle for the television audio.This part is cheap. It transmits one way audio, and is very touchy. However, I must say that shipping was very quick, and I cannot complain about the part's quality because I took a chance on it after reading countless negative reviews.My advice: Search for a different part, and always make sure to take in account the reviews. If you're looking at this part in terms of an Xbox 360 adapter, I would consider finding a cheap headset, I've found countless great deals on this website, all you have to do is search :). | 0negative

Did not work with my phone at all
I had to return this item because it did not work at all. The car charger would not even plug into my Samsung C417. Either it is totally defective or the company inadvertantly sent a car charger that is made for a different phone. The hands free headset also did not work. I could plug it into my phone, but instead of hearing what was on the other end of the line all I could hear was a piercing noise. Without the headset my phone worked fine. I did not try the leather carry case. What's the point when the other two items were why I purchased this set? | 0negative

BAD BAD BAD BAD PHONE
I had this phone for about 5 days before I wanted to toss it out the window. It rings when there is no call comming in and WONT STOP. I returned it to the store where I bought (T-mobile) it but because it had been 35 days instead of 30, they said they could not exchange it for a new one but would give me a "previously used" phone. After 5 replacements, I bought a NOKIA. The camera sucks, and the battery life and signal suck too. | 0negative

good, not perfect
What I like about the cover:-reflection is good (though not like a glas mirror, more like shiny metal)-it protects the screen well (it is thick)What I dislike about the product:-didn't come with instructions. the cleaning cloth they provide is a joke.-edges bubble up, as they hit the edge, instead of meeting it (at home button and ear, as well)-As other reviewers have described, the thickness of the mirror is also a drawback,as you DO need to increase screen brightness to max in order to see well.If you do buy this product, here is what I suggest:-buy two, just in case you mess one up-clean the screen prior to application with an eye-glass cleaner fluid and a REAL eyeglass cleaning cloth (the one they provide is horrible)-dry the screen with compressed air and clear off last dust pieces-punch out home button and ear-phone hole (!!!)-remove 1 screen protector (it is labeled as 1)-place screen protector exactly-remove all visible air bubbles with a credit card or the like-peel off 2 screen protector from topI would buy this product again, it is inexpensive enough to mess up and the seller is very fast! thumbs up | 1positive

Works as earmuffs too.
Audio, comfort, and look I give it five stars.I'm an avid movie/TV watcher. There IS an audio delay. Watching shows like "The Office" where there is heavy dialogue it can be annoying.I would estimate the delay is about a 1/4 of second. You won't notice it when watching documentaries or History channel shows that cut away. Any other sound effect, the delay doesn't seem to noticeable.I use this in connection with my 2g ipod nano , Dell XPS 1530 laptop (with Sony Transmitter), and Palm Centro.At home where my room is quiet, the phone function is nice. I can be listening to music on my dell, but answer the phone via my centro if a call were to come thru.I work late at night, this headset is great for keeping my ears warm. And I don't need to take em off if I walk to the kitchen.I also use them when going to the laundromat. So nice to be wireless. | 1positive

Great headset (4.5 stars)
i agree with everyone above. one thing you have to be EXTREMELY careful is the ear gels. they are way too fragile and the soft plastic connector part will break if you twist too hard. they should use ABS plastic for this part. other than that works fine.the eargels themselves are not as soft and as a result none of the 3 fit too snugly. i ended up using the included plastic ear hook which is almost invisible.the case is awesome and even includes a mirror so you can check the fit.there is a Mini-USB charger adapter that is starting to sell, although only 1-2 places have it. i recommend that if your phone is not in the list of 4.I was able to use the multipoint with both my phone and my PC, although i dont recommend for PC since it is not good at reproducing music. For that you may need a corded or $200+ bluetooth headphones. | 1positive

great for the price.
I was having a hard time finding these headphones in person. They don't have great sound quality, but that may be partly dependant on the phone [I use a V3t]. Cheap price, and they work well enough. They allow me to use my phone as a personal MP3 player, so in the end it's one less gadget I have to carry. | 1positive

WRONG DESCRIPTION
The product listed is NOT a dual charger...I ordered it and it took over a month to actually receive the product and it is a single charger. After more research, I believe that the dual charger is not yet available for the 8260, but that the 8290 dual exists. And keep in mind that this does NOT include the AC cord...you are to use the one that came with the phone or purchase an additional power cord for the charger. | 0negative

Worse than nothing
Bought the card in 09' because we are full time RV'ers and needed service wherever we travel around the USA. Have banged heads with Verizon ever since. When it worked it was slower than dial-up. I checked it with speed plexer. Spent hours on the phone with Verizon listening to excuses and running stupid checks on my computer. All they ever offered was to let me pay a big fee to stop getting ripped off. Instead I outsmarted them and suspended the service without billing. Every 90 days I have to re-suspend it which I will do forever if necessary. A company like Verizon should be ashamed of themselves for perpetuating such a scam. Save yourself a lot of grief and avoid Verizon like the plague. | 0negative

If it always worked like it was supposed to it would be awsome.Mine drops calls when It shows I have full reception.My calls break up and I have to hang up and call back before it will work.Sometimes when I try to unlock the keys to use the phone, The screen will go blank and the phone will not respond for about 15-20 seconds.Way to many little gimick features that just clutter up the user menu.My wifes is way worse than mine but she got water on hers so I won't complain about it. | 0negative

Ships in 24 hrs or 24 days???.
One thing for sure, the service of Amazon is not what I had expected. Initially the when the order was placed, Amazon cancelled the order in about 4-5 hours, the reason gives was "Cingular cannot process your order on the information given, since Amazon does not have the requirements that Cingular wants, we are cancelling your order", Awww C'mon Amazon, if you cannot communicate with Cingular, I guess then you guys should not be doing business with Cingular, or there should be a statement somewhere stating that the Order can be cancelled for any reason (the prime being "Cosmic Radiaton").So I tried placing the order again, it was processed after about 4-5 futile attempts, and the information that was provided was the identical as the first time. The estimated delivery date was 10th Sept.So far it was a struggle....So I checked the status of the order a day later and the estimate delivery date is Oct 12th!!!!!. WoW.So much so for stating that this "Item Ships in 24 hrs".It has been a fustrating experience so far. Will wait for a day or so, else there are other places online that can be given a try.Do not buy from Amazon!!!!!. | 0negative

Better than the V600 with Cingular
Although the V600 is a great piece of technology, it has not been working real well on the Cingular GSM network because of excessive static. I've heard Cingular is not selling the 600 right now because of software defects--supposedly a newer version is coming out that actually works. Anyway, the V400 has basically the same features, a much lower cost, and far less static interference than the 600. Definitely the way to go | 1positive

Good phone for a good value
Pros: light, stays charged for a long time, has speaker phone, a lot of features like voice dialing, 4 people conferencing, web access, etc. Uses smart card. From what I could judge the sound quality is good too. I bought the phone for its price and prepared to get a primitive model. But I got much more.Cons: the buttons are really inconvenient and difficult to press. The ringtones are strange. | 1positive

It Actually Works!
I bought this for my parents who live out in the middle of nowhere in Virginia. I bought 50 feet of extension cable and put the exterior antenna up on their roof. As soon as I did that, both of my parents could use their Alltel phones in the house. Previously, they couldn't get a signal without driving half a mile away.My Verizon aircard also worked using this extender, though the signal was still weak. My AT&T; iPhone still had no reception, but I guess you can't have everything.I didn't see how this thing could possibly work, but it does. Just take the time to install it the way that the instructions tell you to. The more separation you can put between the base and the exterior antenna, the better reception you will get. | 1positive

Get bored easy?
If your one of those people who always changes our phone, this is a good way to go. I purchased this phone through amazon, and I love it. It has tons of memory for your ring tones and photos, and u can customize your tones to whomever you please. Bluetooth technology is amazing and allows you to share your personal information with others who have the same kind of technology without actually having to have service to your phone. It may seem costly to purchase the phone, but with the bluetooth, it saves you tons of money in the long run, from having to purchase ringtones from sites, and wall papers. you can just share and exchange with your friends at no additional cost. | 1positive

Feeling like a Borg - It's a part of me now...
I've had this unit about a year. The hardest thing for me to grasp, was that the primary use for this is not as a cell phone, which is what it replaced. Don't let the encyclopedic-looking user's manual scare you. I downloaded mine to my desktop off the Palm website and use it as needed to figure out a new feature every now and again. This smart-device is easy to set up. We have a small home business and my overloaded purse and aching back demanded some type of all-in-one gadget to keep a calendar, contacts list, phone, notepad, et.al. Never fails that someone says, "Hey, you guys available for a BBQ on the 13th?" Now we know instantly. So those are the reasons why I bought it. Now here's why we have two of them...Where to start? Phone quality is good. However, I'm famous for hitting the touch screen with my ear and inadvertantly ending the call, so I recommend a hands-free whether it has a cord or is BlueTooth - which works well BTW. Versa Mail works well and I like that while we're on the road, I can get my email and reply to clients immediately so we're not missing business. The synching feature works great and my husband and I synch about once a week to keep our calendars/contacts straight. Palm notified me of a free download, "Google Maps" which I love and works much better than Map Quest. Internet feature is great, camera, video and beaming all work good and taking someone's photo to add to their name as you put them in Contacts is unbelieveably handy. When we book new clients, I ask if I can take their photo as I load them in my phone and whenever they call, I have an instant face to go with the name. I keep a security code on it to prevent our client's info from ending up in the wrong hands if I ever lose it. Oh, and the voice recognition program from Palm, Treo Voice Dialing (purchased separately for $19.95), is amazing in that I don't have to program a number to match a certain sound. It knows what sounds go with which letter characters so I can simply say "Call Sammy's Tacos" and viola'! "Calling Sammy's Tacos" is the what the nice lady repeats and she places my call. Very, very handy while driving. So with no pre-programming, it will call any of the over 300 entries in my Contacts. I've dropped this baby in 1 inch of water too and after drying out, it works as good as new.I gave this 4 stars because when I activate the Documents to Go feature, occasionally it will "reset the radio" which means it shuts off the phone feature and reboots it. It's a bug I can't figure out how to fix and since it only happens occasionally, it's not repeatable at the Sprint Store (of course) so they have no idea what I'm talking about.If you get any Palm device, I highly recommend purchasing a high-quality silicon skin case vs. any other type of case. If you are rough on your toys like I am, the silicon provides a sturdy cushion on impact. I've dropped mine half a dozen times and have never cracked the screen, lost touch screen capability, or had it break apart. 'Course, that could be the cause of the phone reset bug mentioned above too. Who knows?So in all, I'm very happy with it and we frequently recommends our friends get one as well. One last thing, it's been very handy at Christmas to send of photo of what I really want to my husband. He walks into the store, shows the photo to the clerk, and walks out knowing he's gotten me exactly the right thing. Priceless! | 1positive
