Buy with care!
Although this appears to be a genuine Motorola item, it works very poorly. Operating time is a fraction of my original battery. Charging time is also much less than the original, and the weight is a bit less. I suspect this is a counterfit. | 0negative

Excellent service from CellulaFactory
I accidentally ordered this wrong charger from Amazon Partner CellularFactory.com. I called their 800 number and found out about my mistake. I got an RMA from them, and they sent me the correct charger in exchange, a Samsung. I was very surprised that they didn't charge me a restocking fee nor did they charge me for the replacement product shipping. I would have gladly paid for my mistake. Later, I was really shocked when I got a $2.00 refund from them, because the replacement charger was less expensive than the wrong one that I had originally ordered.CellularFactory.com (a division of Echen, Inc) is an outstanding company to buy from! Their customer service answered on the second ring, and their product knowledge is excellent! I will buy from them every chance that I get! | 1positive

do not use wirefly for motorola
Still waiting 20 days later for a phone. We keep hearing 48 to 72 hours later. I am sad. My husband is so frustrated that today he will go pay big money for the phone at a Nextel dealer. They claim to have zero motorola phones, but the Amazon tag says "in stock".Customer service is not helpful. We keep having to call them for updates. | 0negative

Strong spring clip
As noted elsewhere, this item has an extremely strong belt clip. So strong, in fact, that it simply won't fit on my leather belts at all. While I appreciate the fact that it is not as likely to slip off my belt as my previous unit was wont to do, I don't like the fact that it is almost impossible to use with most of the belts in my business wardrobe. It looks like I'm going to have to buy a second unit to use with leather belts.Other than that, it works well. The fit and finish are excellent, the clasp works well enough to secure the pda in the case and I didn't experience problems with it other than noted above. | 1positive

Great device.
You need to spend a few minutes hunting down the best stations, but once you get them, it's fine. I never even have to change from my first station to the others, and I live in around a very metropolitan area (Washington DC).If you find yourself needing to change stations frequently, then make your radio presets for 1, 2, and 3 match the Monster's presets for 1, 2, and 3. Simple.To get the best possible sound quality, knock your MP3 player/iPod up to 1-2 notches below max, then adjust your radio to the desired sound. Putting the MP3 player on max will cause the FM modulator to lose quality, but you want to keep the volume on the radio as low as possible, since that's where you pick up and amplify the majority of the buzz.The device transmits well regardless of where it is in the car as well. I've got a 12v DC plug in the arm rest between the passenger and driver seats, so I keep the transmitter in there, with the cable coming out to my iPod. It's a strong signal.No problems thus far with a weak cable causing static/cutting out, but I'll update if that starts to happen too quickly. I've had it for about a month now. | 1positive

The right price
I've never figured out why cell phone companies have never standardized on their chargers, but Samsung use this thin, not-very-solid-looking device that *only* works with their chargers. The real deal runs at about $25-30 in the phone stores, so this product represents a massive money-saver. And it works just as well as the original one I had. So when I lose my charger again - which will happen - I'll be buying another one of these! | 1positive

really bad phone
It is a really bad phone. The first year it is ok but always auto-dial even if I lock it. The battery can be used only 12 hr and have to be charged everyday after I use half year. The second year this phone always auto-close when I talk with somebody else by phone. Currently, it is completely down. My god it is not a phone but a black sheep. Never use it if you have important thing to talk. | 0negative

No one will hear you!
This product is awful, the microphone does not work well at all. Everyone I called got irritated with me because they couldn't hear a word I was saying. I can't comment on the comfort of the earpiece because I didn't get to wear it long enough. Do a favor for everyone you will call and buy a different headset! | 0negative

over rated phone
I purchased this phone about 5 months ago. This phone has a lot of problems, some times it difficult to make phone calls it keeps telling me "call failed" I thought that the network is busy but when I put the SIM card in my old Samsung phone there was no problem at all.The other problem is static, people can not hear me clearly because of static, and however I have full service 4 to 5 bars. The software is very slow when you scroll between menus. After I disconnect the phone from the charger the screen start to blink and the resolution goes down.I called Cingular and they replaced with another refurbished phone that have the same problems. Finally they are going to send me a new phone hopefully this will work.I owned so many phones with different brands and the best are Nokia and Samsung. | 0negative

Didn't work for me...
I tried, for quite a while, to get used to this headset. I liked the fact that it had a mike that came close to your mouth and didn't dangle. First of all, I found the earpiece very, very difficult to get on. Second, once on, it would slip so that the mic was moving away from my face and the ear piece was moved away from my ear, eventually falling off. And, finally, when I would get it to stay, it hurt the outside of my ear.To be fair, I know other people who use this and like it alot. Maybe I just have larger ears, but, it just didn't work for me. | 0negative

Solid Performance
Very comfortable, easy to use. Unfortunately, some of the advanced features (answer or redail from headset) do not work with the Sprint Treo 650. Still way better than a wired headset! | 1positive

Buggy, Crashes!, Avoid!
I have a treo 650 and have had several Palm devices prior to this one. I really don't like Windows phones but I find myself shopping for one to replace my 650.Versamail (the email app) crashes constantly and reboots the phone. The phone freezes at odd moments preventing you from answering a call or sometimes even knowing that you have one. it sychronizes with my outlook calendar which is nice but it replicates my meetings and resets the time when it gets confused about the time zones, meaning I'm often 3 hours off one way or the other. I have had to start typing in the meeting times into the description to avoid missing calls or meetings. I have gotten very agile at pulling the battery to reset the phone when it freezes as it usually does several times a day.In short this would be a great phone without the bugs. With the bugs, for serious use, I find it completly unworkable. I have download the latest software updates and it fixes some things but has caused other random problems. Palm really needs to improve their QA process. | 0negative

Cuts out background noise
My husband is a truck driver so it is important to use a hands free device that cuts out background noise. This is his second Jawbone and it works great. Thank you Amazon, for making it so easy and quick to buy something that actually works great, at a good price! | 1positive

Versatile headset that delivers
The Voyager 510 isn't exactly the sexiest dongle to hang from your ear... but who cares if it works great? =pSince I got this, it works great with just my cell phone, but I figured that I'd actually experiment with the MultiPoint technology. And I can say that it's kind of neat.Pairing it with my cell phone and my laptop wasn't too much of a hassle. I, as well as any future buyers, may be glad to know that this device supports the A2DP protocol (audio transfer), which means that you can listen to music on your laptop with your headset (although it is less than desirable quality), and if you get a call on your cell phone, you can hit the call button once to disconnect yourself from your laptop to connect to your cell phone, then hit the call button again to answer your phone. All without touching either device. =p One minor gripe, however, is that it's not very convenient to switch back to being paired with my laptop, since I have to pair the headset with my laptop again. Maybe there's a way for my laptop to "call" the headset so that I can switch connections the same way I did it for a phone call, but I'm not sure as to how to do that.The sound quality of this headset is very good. People can hear me clearly and I can hear them quite well, actually. Most headsets suffer the bane of crappy volume levels; the Voyager 510 seems to amplify the volume so that normally-soft phone calls are clear and audible.The buttons are less than desirable, though. I'm not sure if it's just me, but the volume is a little difficult to adjust while the headset is on my ear, and the power button is just impossible to get at while on my ear. You need to power it on and off after taking it off. The call button on my first headset became defective after a few months (which would explain my hours of frustration on not being able to pair the darn thing to my computer), but I'm sure it was a lemon. Update on this will follow if the call button goes on my current 510.Speaking of ears, I can wear this thing rather comfortably for an hour or two at a time without too much discomfort. (I never had this on for more than a couple of hours at a time.)This is definitely a great headset to grab if you're looking for one that just works. If you're looking for style... you might want to look elsewhere. | 1positive

a very nice phone
I dont understand the many negative reviews on this phone. I have been using it for about a month now and I think it is a very nice phone. The first nice feature is that you can see who is calling without flipping the phone open. Secondly, reception is good (t-mobile) and the sound is clear. Thirdly, it is very cool looking, is light and feels nice in your hands. It is true that the camera is a joke but I knew that the first time I saw a picture of it. I have had no problems with the buttons being too small-lousy reception, etc. Overall, I would recommend this phone to others. | 1positive

Remarkable!
This blue tooth headset is remarkably small and light, it's easy to use and provides good volume and call clarity. Great for the car, home or office. Very comfortable in your ear and stays put, even though it's small. This is a Consumer Report's best buy! | 1positive

Great Headset
After reading reviews, I was torn, but I went ahead and ordered the H700. The first one I got had problems with the boom mike, the power would cycle off & on if you just touched the mike. After a quick exchange I got one that seems to work perfectly.I wear the headset on the opposite side of my body as the phone (Motorola v360) with no problems. I have had no complaints from other people about the way I sound and I can hear everyone just fine. The volume was loud enough that I could hear easily while driving my Jeep (not a very quiet vehicle).I recommended it to my mom (she has a RAZR), and she hasn't had any problems with hers either. We both love the fact that you can leave it turned off, and just open the flip to answer a call. | 1positive

High tech cell phone
The cell phone we received is perfectly fine. No problems of any kind and the price was very reasonable. Thank you. | 1positive

One of the best!
Like many others, I have been through several different headsets. This is by far the most comfortable! I forget I even have it on. Nice and light too. The volume is very exceptable, and people I called did not have any idea I was calling from a device like this.Because it fits so lightly is perhaps why the buttons are a little hard to push. You do have to push them firmly, which ends up pressing the device into your ear or head. Still no bad though.If the boom is tucked up by your ear, it is hard to notice you have one of these nerdy looking things on. When it is down, people can see it and know your not talking to yourself, but your on the phone!After practice, it is very easy to put on with one hand. Just keep trying it with one hand over and over, and eventually you'll get it down just right. No problem in this area for me either.It is NOT compatible with Verizons music bluetooth transfer (whatever they call it). I eventually broke down and got the Motorola S9 because I use my phones MP3 player and the motorola S9 is compatible! I love that too. Mainly because I do not look like a techno nerd, just someone with a small headset on!I hope this helps | 1positive

I'm not only dropping the phone. I'm dropping Sprint.
The first problem is the echo. I hear myself in the earpiece with a 2 second delay. Always. My calls drop every 30 seconds at best. After having the phone 5 days, and my number switched and in use for only a day, I'm over it. The charge died quickly. Wish I'd compared how many minutes between charges. Other phones are impressive by comparison.The phone book is awful. I can see the name of the last person I called, but don't have the choice to view the number or edit it from that menu. Impossible counter intuitive buttons. Could get through my old cingular, which I miss, with barely reading the manual. Easy prompting menus.Customer service said I could cancel in first 30 days and trade in phone if I didn't like it, next rep said I had to pay $200 (until I gave push back), said they'd transfer me to someone who could swap my phone, that rep said can't do that at this #, transferred me again. I hung up after 15 minutes on hold. One rep said I could swap the phone at a local Sprint store. Called the Sprint store for their hours and they said, NO WAY, YOU CAN'T SWAP a phone you got through Tele-Sales. Continuous misinformation. I thought Cingular was frustrating but Sprint takes the cake.Have no way to get pics off my phone without paying hefty email fees. 1st rep said there was a way. User Manuel not helpful. Nights start at 7pm, but what good is it when you don't want to use the phone?! It's too bad. The phone looks good. Pretty, but it's only skin deep. | 0negative

Probably a very old battery!
Bought a Motorola SNN5517 battery to replace two batteries delivered with my Motorola Timeport cell phone. The original batteries worked well for 10 years or more before their capacity to hold a charge started to fail.The replacement battery from Mega Wholesale/Big Mike's Electronics started to show signs of failing after a couple of months, and after 7-8 months it could hardly hold enough of a charge to turn on the phone and make one phone call. I wonder how long that battery was on the shelf in Big Mike's warehouse? Neither the date of manufacture nor the 'best before' date is indicated on the battery, so it wasn't clear when I received the battery that its best days were probably long ago. Beware of ordering batteries from a reseller... you may receive a "vintage" battery that's well past its prime! | 0negative

Great for iPad and Mac
I needed a pair of high-quality Bluetooth headphones to replace my corded studio headphones. I love listening to music and watching movies on my iPad, but with a cable connected to the device, I can't plop the iPad down and fix myself a snack without worrying about pulling the iPad off the counter and smashing it.These headphones are a perfect fit for my needs.1. The sound quality is really great, and they are loud. I like to rock out and these headphones let me do that.2. They are large enough to have comfortable ear cups and to fit my giant head without making it feel like it's in a vice. This is something I typically struggle with when buying closed-type headphones.3. Pairing with iPad is seamless. Pairing with Mac requires choosing either the headset or headphone usage mode when pairing to get it to work (otherwise you get connection failure messages). Choose the headphone setting for best music quality.4. Somebody mentioned lip sync issues when watching movies due to latency. I have no such issues on either my iPad or my Mac, so the person who wrote this review must have a problem with their computer/device; it's not the headphone's fault. However, keep this in mind since depending on the source device you are using this may be an issue for you.5. The headphones are well-designed and much lighter than they look.6. I saw a review for these headphones on another site that said they only work with line-of-site to the source device. This is a lie. I can leave my iPad in another room and still get audio so long as I stay within about 20 feet. I was also able to play music in my office upstairs, and come downstairs to the kitchen to get a drink without losing connectivity.Note to iPad users: after pairing the device and turning the headphones off, when you turn them on again you need to go to the Bluetooth menu under System Preferences and click the name of the headphones to get them to reconnect. It took me a while to figure this out as I had expected the headphones to reconnect automatically after being turned on again. This appears to be the way the iPad works and not an issue with the headphones, since the headphones automatically reconnect to my Mac without any intervention on my part.The only con is that the buttons are a little small and confusing at first as many others have mentioned. However, this takes you no more than a day's use to figure out. Sony put little bumps on certain keys to make it easy to differentiate the up volume from the down volume/left side from right etc., and the rocker switch for switching songs combined with a pressing action to stop/play again is a neat way to save space on the device. Note that the iPad and iPhone do not support song skip via Bluetooth controls, but this is a limitation of these devices and not the headphones (hopefully Apple will address this in a future OS update). Skip forward/backward and all the other controls work flawlessly on the Mac to control iTunes from the headphones. | 1positive

Hard Case Review
The vendor was very good on delivery. Very prompt. But the case is a disaster. The mechanism to hold the Palm in the case does not work, it is not sized correctly for the palm. As a result the palm is not secured and can easily fall out of the case. Also my sync cable will not fit with the palm in the case. I would rate this at best as a 1/2 start but that is not the choice. Save your money, buy something else. | 0negative

iGo is the only way to Go!
If you're not using the iGo products, then you are missing out and carrying way too much in your car or briefcase. These tips and the main power cord work in cars, offices, homes, hotels - where ever you go. They save time and work just as well as the chargers that come with the product initially. Where I go - I iGo. | 1positive

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Good:-Very stylish and sleek design. It quickly caught the attention of anyone happening to see it.-Very large display.The Bad:-Very low speaker volume made it difficult to hear conversations. I found myself asking others "What?" or "Can you repeat that?" far too many times.-Poorly designed user interface.The Ugly:-Reception was very poor in a call area that has good coverage.-After two days, I found myself using it more as a paperweight than a phone. The combiation of poor reception and low speaker volume is a lethal combination that killed all of my interest in a very interesting looking, but fairly useless cell phone. | 0negative

Comfortable/Doesn't Dominate your Face
This product is wonderful. When I got ready to purchase I looked around at other blue tooth headsets that others wore. My co-worker wore one that didn't obscure half of her face, didn't interfere with her hair or earrings and looked comfortable. I asked her what company made her headset, Jabra was her answer, and went right home to shop on the net. My husband owns three other headsets made by other companies and when mine arrived, he put it on, he loved it so much he bought one for himself and put the others away just in case he lost his Jabra. It became his choice as well. | 1positive

How do I get out of my contract?
This phone is beautiful. It's light, it's well designed (mostly), it does everything I'd like a mobile phone to do... EXCEPT reliably make or receive calls! Sure, it's great if you want to play games or take pictures or listen to the many ringtones but when it comes time to actually make a call, the extraordinarily poor reception may be an issue. Yes I have actually completed a conversation on this phone but often I find that moving the phone 6" while talking will cause dropouts or completely lose the call. While sitting outside and completely stationary, I noticed the signal strength ranged from NO NETWORK to 5 bars (full service). Inside _any_ building (except the t-mobile store... coincidence?) the phone quickly becomes unusable. The guy in the tmobile store said, "Yup, those don't got good reception" (sic) and recommended I buy an older "reliable" phone off of Ebay to slap my SIM into it for the remainder of my contact.. Now THAT is customer service for you!I'm not a happy camper. I bought this piece of crap. I'm stuck with a one year contract. Don't you fall for it. Look elsewhere. | 0negative

2nd time around BLOWS
The first time I bought this item it was very satisfactory; the cable was thick enough, the headphones were audible enough on both plugs. I bought this 4 years ago until my son pulled on the cord and it tore. Now, the quality of this same product has deteriorated from the last time I got it, very thin cord, I can hear from only one plug (the right one) and the quality of the audio is horrible. I will NEVER recommend this for anyone again !! | 0negative

Lenmar misled me on their batteries for Creative Zen Xtra
"Not a problem with the seller so much as the manufacturer of the battery. These batteries are slightly short so they don't make contact properly in the MP3 player (Creative Zen Extra). I even called the manufacturer b4 placing the order and they assured me there were no problems as indicated by previous reviewers. I was hosed. You have to shunt the batteries to make them work. BAD DEAL Lenmar." I'm giving 5 stars for the seller who has no control over the product, but LENMAR should only get 1 star for poor quality control. The battery does hold a charge, but again you have to cram filler into the battery compartment to hold the battery against the battery terminals. | 1positive

Good Solid Performance.
Fits in my ear on the right better than left. Reception is good, no problems on other side of call understanding me. There is a 2-3 second delay when answering a call, but it is only a nuisance. Battery tends to deplete requiring daily recharge. I do recommend this product. | 1positive

Great form factor, good range, nice egonomics.
I've had several of these devices in the past. Either they were too bulky (or, at the other extreme) too small. This device is the perfect size...Fits in your pocket, fits in your hand and yet is still large enough to not get lost. I love the standard connections: no special audio jack (Sony: pay attention) and the charging is via mini-usb. Cool blue display, it sync'd right up with my Blackberry and other devices. I don't use it for cell calls so I can't comment there, but as an all-purpose Bluetooth transmitter, it's darn near perfect! | 1positive

Works great at first
Pros- Good quality speaker phone. The other side hear it clearly and this side also hear it clearly. Had it on while driving and my wife on the other side could hear the tire noise.- Has many good options to play around with. Txt messaging, camara, etc.- Sounds clear but a little low on max vol.- Good resolution screen (for a cell phone)- Data cable from Moto works perfectly with the phone. Easy to maneuver and download/upload from/to the phone.- Can call T-mobile within 3 months of Activation to unlock the phone to work with other non T-mobile Sim card.- T-mobile customer care is easy to deal with and sending me a new replacement phone.Cons- Weird buttons. The number keypad has small circle and long ones. They're a little too small for normal fingers.- Can't vibrate + Ring at the same time. One or the other.- Can't pick up the phone using the speaker phone. Have to pick up the phone first, then turn on the speaker phone. (B/c mine is busted, my reason is below)I was playing around with the network settings and now my phone is screwed (Not sure if b/c I was playing around with it or what). Even when I put it back to the original settings. My phone now has signal, but a lot lower then before. I was @ T-mobile store and I had no signal while the sample phones signal were full (was a working sample phone b/c I tested by dialing a number and it was accually calling). At some spot that I used to have full signal, now I has little to no signal.Reason for me giving this phone 2 stars is b/c so many ppl has similar problems to mine. I still think Motorola is good to deal with but this 1 in particular isn't good. | 0negative

Not Much Better Than This
I've had my 510 for two years and just lost it while on vacation this past week. Boy did I ever miss having it. The ease of use and noise-canceling feature makes this unit almost perfect and still deserving of a five star rating. Good thing for me that as technology marches on, prices drop. I paid almost eighty dollars for my first one. Today, I'm getting the same thing here on Amazon for less than half that amount. Don't waste time looking elsewhere for a better price. I just wasted a full hour-plus comparing prices and as of right now, the best price WITH FREE SHIPPING is on Amazon. Way to go guys!! B T W - I do NOT work for Amazon or Plantronics. Just another average Joe like the rest of you trying to help save some time. Thanks again Amazon Dot Com. | 1positive

Black Screen of Death
I will be reluctantly getting my 3rd Q (replacement). I've only had this 2nd one for maybe 2 months. It would freeze constantly during the past 2 months forcing me to remove the battery for a restart. Now I have the dreaded Black Screen of Death with "motorola flash mode bootloader version: boot_c_03.08.00R_MPAP". Anytime bloggers start naming how your phone dies its a very bad sign! | 0negative

Do Not Buy!
This is probably the most over-hyped headset! It is horrible! Not even worth the free shipping! For starters it only charges about 1/3 of the time. Even if it charges over night and led changes color to fully charged, you go to use it in the car, and looses charge in about 5 min. Additionally, I find myself holding it in my ear just hear the other person - this with the volume all the way up. Most of the time the person I'm talking to can't hear me. I end up taking it off and just holding the phone up to my ear. REALLY a poorly made device! | 0negative

good looking hardware, bad software and menus
(...)The good: its a very nice looking phone; its the right size, neither too small or too big; blue tooth enabled. The best is the blue tooth that allows you to use wireless headsets or connect to your PC and use the phone to send/receive faxes, surf the net, or update the address book.The bad: you cannot read the screen outside unless its dark (Its like trying to watch TV when the sun is hitting the screen directly.); the camera is a gimmick that fades away pretty quick (I never used it that much); the software is slow; and the menus are counter-intuitive.The worst is the software and the menus. I havent seen a phone that has easier menus than Nokia and this Sony Ericsson is no exception. Nokia's menus are very intuitive and easy to use, this phone's menu is just badly designed, meaning that you have to push more buttons than necessary to perform common tasks like adding a number to your address book, or editing an address book entry, moving messages around, going back to the main menu, etc. Also, because the menus are software-based (vs. being hard wired into the chip like phones with monochrome screens) there is a lag sometimes between the instant you push a button and when the menu is displayed on the screen, like using a computer with little memory. Also, you are not allowed to erase the built-in TMobile graphics and sounds, which take up memory space, and you cannot use a recording as your Ring Tone (they do that so that you dont use "protected" music for your ring tones and are thus forced to buy it from them). Finally, the phone actually crashes if you stop a voice record command immediately after starting it.All in all, nice looking hardware but with crappily designed menus. | 0negative

I have not had a problem since I got. It even works great with the ps3 and is crystal clear. A must have device for the price. Good quality item and sound. | 1positive

Gets the job done
Recently got rid of my smart phone after realizing I really didn't need it and picked up this Ericsson. Haven't had any issues with it, and gets the job of simply being a phone done fairly well. | 1positive

OK, so far
This unit, while being a bit large, works very well. The on/off switch is a bit of a challenge to work.The noise cancellation doesn't seem to be the best based on those who have been on the other end of the conversation.Overall it is the best I used to date. | 1positive

Not what you want
Unlike other skins reviewed here, this one fits well. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to use the phone with the cover on. The case completely hides all the numbers and symbols on the phone. Maybe if there was a picture on the site before I bought it I would have clued into this fact. | 0negative

IT CALLS THE POLICE ONCE A DAY BY ITS SELF
This phone calls the police all the time....one entry says once a month; more like 3 times a week. The local police department has threatend to press charges. I am currently working with samsung to get a phone upgrade....I went strait to Samsung and they told me to get bent and that it was a requested feature by T-mobile who told me to contact Samsung...... | 0negative

good battery
This is a must have for Moto Q owner. I was frustrated when my original battery died after six hour and I would miss important calls. This battery lasts for couple of days. I have yet to competely charge this battery. I wish the covers would come in other colors so it would match my phone. | 1positive

Very poor workmanship...
The contact jack in this product has a major flaw: once you plug it into your phone, it takes a significant amount of force to remove it - I almost broke my phone just so I could get this thing out and throw it in the trash. Very disappointed... | 0negative

Dropped Calls galore
I had another combo phone, the Kyocera 6035, a bit bulky but worked fine. I bough this and have constant dropped calls, no service, etc.Very displeased with this phone. | 0negative

Instructions?
Opinon reserved 'till further experimenting. Admitedly non-gadget friendly, I have not been successful in determining how to hear person on the other end. The device came with no instruction. | 0negative

A Great Inexpensive Phone Charger
The charger works fine. I have not come across such an inexpensive charger anywhere. If you lost the original charger that came with the phone, this is a great replacement. Supposed work with 220-volts also, though I did not get to test it. | 1positive

great while it lasted
It kept my Motorola Krave out of my pocket where it couldn't be scratched by stray change and/or tools. The leather was supple and the felt-like lining protected the clear screen.And then one day, I struck my hip against a handrail and the clip broke off. :[ | 1positive

Believe the 1 stars!
You might be thinking to yourself "Those people that are complaining about lack of service or crappy speakers are doing just that...complaining. They probably just live farther away from the towers and that must be the reason they didn't have service. I'll be fine. Right?" Wrong.Ok. Well, let me give you a little proof. We've had Nextel for a very long time. Most of the phones we bought from Nextel worked awesome. We had a full signal with every phone. Never had a dropped call, never had a problem with speakers. Not to mention, we live right down the road from a tower so we figured we wouldn't have to worry about the signal thing. Then my mother wanted a more compact phone. This is a slightly skinnier phone than most. We got this one before reading any reviews. Now, I have a big family so naturally we take the easy way when it comes to calling someone in for dinner. A lot of the time we would just call them on a cell phone. Ok Well, in a family of 8, guess who's phone was the only phone with no bars. Correct, my mom's. Every other phone in the house had every single bar, and my mom's phone had no service what-so-ever. Out of 8 phones that isn't very good odds. So obviously signs point to the phone as the problem. It was like the phone picked and chose when to get a signal or not. It is not a very reliable phone. Truthfully, I'm shocked anyones ever gotten a signal at all with this phone because we live right down the road from a tower, and still, we barely even got a signal with that phone when every other nextel phone in the house had a full signal, even in the basement!Truthfully, my recommendation would be, if you are even considering buying this phone, just because of any good reviews you've read, I'd say don't take your chances and buy a phone that has at least a little more good reviews than this one. | 0negative

No good
Item delivered was not item described on page. Asked for refund, and they said they would be happy to minus the shipping/handling. Since the item only cost $2+, there was no point to send back when shipping was $8+. Still sitting on my desk in the original package. | 0negative

I tried using it but I couldnt stand it over 10 minutes..! not worth waiting for and the price for it is rediculous..! =(botom line. bad choice. bad product... | 0negative

Excellent quality
...but crappy design. I equate it to Ford where quality is job 1. Unfortunately design is job 233 and far more important because no amount of quality can make up for crappy design.The quality of sound from these headphones is great. I like the sound a lot. They sound very good, honestly. But the design is very unforgiving like many motorola products. The headphones hurt my ears after only a short while listening. There is no cushioning to the edges of the ear piece, unless you count the very thin hard rubber edge. I do mean hard.The mike is nice being where it's loctated, but it's completely retarded that one headphone is 12 inches longer than the other from the center point. It's just so awkward to use this way. The jack not being a standard size or style makes it impossible to change to another set so you're stuck with headphones made for the phone but if there were something else available I would gladly switch. The mike also induces a lot of noise and has poor pickup. People on the other end often keep asking you to repeat yourself unless you're located in a very quiet location.5 stars for the sound but I'm afraid it's 1 overall. | 0negative

I do not like this phone at all
beginning to experience frequent drop calls after 3-4 months of using it. battery was never charged up properly, for some reason, the charging went out by itself occasionally. hard to use, not user friendly. but i have to give credit to the picture quality. | 0negative

Works awesome
Charger works great! Slim Profile helps, I have a Scion XB 2005 (square style) and I had a charger for my Sidekick 3 which stuck out and would get bumped all the time. This charger is completely out of the way. | 1positive

Works!
Battery was cheap enough and was quickly shipped. As for battery life, I can't say as I am not using the phone myself. But the Motorola V551 is the bomb! It lasts and lasts and lasts (when almost all other phones quit within the 2 year contract). | 1positive

It broke before I ever used it
I bought this to use with my cell phone batteries, but it broke before I could use it. I now just charge a battery every night in the phone and before I take off for the day, I just switch to the next battery, so I always have 2 fully charged spares with me. | 0negative

good product
The keyboard worked well after synchronizing with my pocket pc (Dell Axim v51.) The sync process is straightforward. The keyboard is light, thus you don't feel it steady when putting it on laps. This keyboard has smaller gaps between keys than standard keyboards. Some keys are not at their usual locations on a standard keyboard. So you need to adjust your typing style a little bit. Overall, it met my expectation. | 1positive

second worse phone I ever had
Had to have the Krzr. Sleek, thin very trendy. The only trend is my front mirror broke within 1 mo. also noticed freezing up. Thought is was something to do with me. Daughter had to have one. Warned her. Had 3 days. Mirror broke, complains of freezing screens. We update our phone every first of the month, still problem occurs. Last time it occurred on her phone it was during a medical emergency and I couldn't reach her. Had to contact her boyfriend for him to pass the message on. There is definitly a design flaw, but Motorola won't help out Verizon by recalling. Have insurance. $50.00 a pop to replace, so it can all happen again? I'm not going there. Oh also the battery DOES NOT hold a charge. Talk 10 mins. you better be near a charger. Reason why this is the 2nd worse phone is because I had a Sony Ericson once. Never got through a call without a drop. At least that doesn't happen. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE!!!!!! MOTOROLA YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO LEAVE US ALL HIGH AND DRY LIKE THIS. TAKE YOUR LICKS AND ADMIT IT NEEDS A RECALL SO VERIZON CAN HELP US ALL OUT. | 0negative

samsung WEP200
Hate it. Does not fit ear; actually hurts. The ear hook broke the 1st week. Continuously having to take the ear hook off to charge makes no sense. Very disappointed. | 0negative

Works great for a week...then, not so great
I went through two of these headsets, after about 2 weeks, I would start getting low-battery beeps after an hour or so of standby.The headset would buzz to the person on the other end of the call, and I had to just dump it.Logitech support was helpful, particularly when I called them from the headset and they heard the buzzing. They sent the first replacement right away, I didn't bother with replacing the second unit. | 0negative

Beware: User-hostile product!
I had very high hopes when I had my V600 in my hands. Now, after 5 months of use I regret the day I bought it. My aim was to get a flip cover phone with Bluetooth. On the paper, there wasn't really any competition against the V600. But the reality is altogether a different story.First, compared to the competition it is heavier. However, one can live with that.Second, the clamshell doesn't flip open very easily. It requires some hand acrobatics to open with one hand (in case you have your suitcase or something else occupying your other hand). Is it so difficult to create a small protrusion for a finger?Third, (and now it starts really getting bad) who in his right mind would put voice activation button which you tend to press every time you try to flip the cover open and the stupid phone asks you to say the name aloud. I don't even use the voice call function for God's sake!Fourth, the keypad is of very low quality. They keys don't work always and there is flaking on my phone's keypad where it writes "V600".Fifth, the software is the most none-user friendly one I have ever used. Granted, I had only one Samsung and all the other phones I have owned were Nokias but really, does it have to be so stupid? Don't Motorola engineers ever benchmark? Just copy Nokia if you don't have a good idea. Why do I have to create an entry for each number a person has? Why can't I adjust the phone ring tone for different categories of people?Sixth, in my fifth month of usage, I need to recharge this headache of a phone every day!Seventh, the software sometimes decides not to connect to the Bluetooth earpiece. Bluetooth earphone is the only nice thing about Motorola. It is the best design in the market, light and small. However it has a horrendous drain on the batteries. Be warned.I am returning my V600 tomorrow and I am curious as to what they will do but I have had enough!I would advise anyone who need a good phone to stay away. | 0negative

Works very well
This allows me to hook up some good headphones for iPOD-quality music, or to make phone calls in loud places. It is made of sturdy materials. Also, the service was quick and the price was right. | 1positive

Battery Extender???
In theory this product is a good idea, but the execution is horrible. I wanted to use it to charge my BlackBerry, but it shuts itself off after 10 minutes and there's no noticeable difference in the battery power on the phone. I would recommend that you stick with wired chargers or use another brand that will work better than this one. I have used other iGo products before and didn't have a problem. Perhaps it's just the design of this product. | 0negative

love it
everything is protected except the screen. be careful its not to snug on the phone so dirt can make its way down over the phone. love how i can text w/o hearing that annoying click of my finger nails on the keys. easy to press thru. no problems hearing on calls either. great buy! | 1positive

Works great, holds the phone, cool looking (for a charger)
I hate the phone charger business, and have gone through piles of third-party chargers over the years. With my A310, phone chargers would just fall out. So far so good with this one, plus the glowing tip (besides just being neat-o) makes it easy to find. I wish there was a way to tell top v. bottom in the dark, but that's not really a problem (and I've never had a charger that did).Highly recommended. | 1positive

Don't purchase if you don't have a USB wall charger!
I purchased this item thinking I would be able to use my iPod's wall charger to charge the external battery. WRONG! The cable included only works with a USB charging device (ie. computer, some iPod chargers, the special JAVOedge charger that does not come included with the battery). I ended up having to purchase another iPod charger with a USB port as I wasn't planning on taking my hefty laptop to Europe just to change my new external battery. If you already have a USB wall charger, or you're planning on charging the item just from your computer, it will work for you. Also, be aware that the the charge time for the battery is SIX hours (as listed on JAVOedge's website). The item did not come with any sort of instruction manual for charging or usage, and I had to look up product information on the company's website. I was planning on returning the item all together, but JAVOedge's return policy is so horrible that I decided to just keep it and buy the USB wall charger from a different company just so I didn't have to pay the extra shipping fee to send the battery back to the company. I would recommend going with a different product if for no other reason then to not have to deal with this company! | 0negative

Works great, long cord allows phone to sit anywhere
This charger works great and has a very long cord which allows my cell phone to sit anywhere in my car (Pontiac Grand Prix), even my daughter can use the phone in the back seat while it is charging! Definitely a good buy. | 1positive

Good product for mobile phones but not suitable for other devices like laptop
I bought this headset just one month back and it is working good.Its performance was not satisfactory when I tried it with my laptop for chatting purpose but it is a great product for mobile phones. The voice is crystal clear and I consider it a good deal in $30 price. | 1positive

Great headset
I have read a lot of reviews for this and the Motorolla headset. While I have never used the Motorolla one I like this one better because no one notices it in my ear. The reception is great, the sound is clear, and no one has complained they couldn't hear me. I have had it for a month with no problems. The only issue I have is when I am near corless phones or wireless networks I have to hold the phone closer to the headset. However when I am at the mall or in the park I do not need to take my phone out of it's case. All in all this is a great headset. | 1positive

not impressed
I have the phone for 5 days now.it is a nice small phone, but as someone else said the sensitivity of the touch pad is frustrating even on low.the speaker is in the rear of the device and there is no separate ear plug port making it not compatible to all those earbuds you have from your old phones.I am using V-cast for the month free the clips are a couple of minutes long. I am not sure if you get full half hour of programs with subscription.Battery is used very quickly when you use Vcast or "get it now".i am still thinking about sending it back for the LG v3800 which my husband has. it is easier to handle and the two large speakers on phone makes it a better mp3 player.and lastly yes Verizon gives you user guides but they are from verizon and not LG. | 0negative

Down with Palm
If you like a loud buzzing to override all your conversations, then this phone is for you! I exchanged my first Palm with another, which, thankfully, does the same thing. Hey, gotta give them credit for consistency!A phone that is as big as a poptart, loses connectivity without warning several times a day, costs a butt-load, freezes while using call waiting and switching between applications, and, ah, the buzzing! Yeah, this was the phone for me, and if you want a really expensive and really crappy phone, then it's for you, too! Cash in your daughter's college fund and buy one today! | 0negative

This phone is a piece of crap
I've had this phone for about a year now, and it's not only the worst phone I've ever owned, it's the worst phone I've ever heard about. Physically it's not bad - it's a decent size, has a nice display and an external LCD. However the battery is very prone to slipping lose from the internal contacts causing the phone to turn off randomly; simply putting it in the pocket of a pair of jeans can be enough to dislodge the battery.It barely works *as a phone*. I have yet to find a spot where the signal is strong enough that it won't cut off, even when it has all bars maxed out. The microphone has lousy gain, unless you happen to be in an area with a slight breeze and then it picks the wind noises to the exclusion of all else. I've had so many calls where the person kept telling me the wind was too loud, and there was just barely a breeze!Taking a picture is easy, but then the phone forces you to decide how you want to "store" the picture by making at least two selections from the menu! This is completely ridiculous...how about I take the picture and it just stores it immediately without me doing anything?The phone just acts very weird. Whenever I check my voice mail, and even sometimes just at random, the phone recieves an undecipherable text message with no return address. Read three voicemails, you get three messages. No reason for it, it just happens. Even worse - I've had voicemails that it didn't inform me about for *over a week*! It's very common for it to not inform you about a voicemail for a couple of days. I have yet for it to let me know about a voicemail within a few minutes or even hours of receiving it.If you don't keep this phone fully charged, it will beep nonstop about every three minutes until the battery is really and truly dead. More than once I've had to get up at 3:00 AM to turn the damn thing off. Finally I located the notification options, there are about 20 of them, I turned them all off except the only one that a phone should have - the incoming call ring.Forgot your cell phone number? No problem, it's so easy to just look it up on the phone itself, right? Well, not on this phone - it's buried about five menu levels deep. I finally made the phone wallpaper the phone number so I could see it right away.I can't wait for my service contract to end so I crush this phone with a hammer. | 0negative

Voyager 510 Review
Having used the product in a variety of different scenarios includinga computer room and my vehicle, I find the headset to be very functional. I did initially have issues setting it up with my Motorola Phone, but after researching the set up instructions at both the Plantronics and Motorola sites, I was able to get it configured and working fine. The only complaint I have is that the ear pads do not stay within the ear, and I have to frequently re-insert them to hear better. I have tried all three of the ear pads, and the current one is the best so far... | 1positive

Diasppointed
I purchased this product for stock. We put it in service last week and I feel this is used and returned or seconds. This product has unusable sound quality. We have 10 of the same units I purchased from the products website. I tried Amazon and this is going to be my last time. I'm trying to get this unit repaired from Plantronics. Amazon stated this was a new product. | 0negative
