Difficult setup very limited features
TRENDNET TVP-SP1BK ClearSky Bluetooth VoIP Phone Kit (for Skype)I already have a Cordless Internet Telephone Kit from another vendor and bought this as it does not need a power adapter and I can charge it right out of my Laptop.I have a COMPAQ Presario 2700 and the Bluetooth adapter could not connect physically with the USB port.Then I tried it with my COMPAQ Evo N600c as that Laptop has a USB port on the left side so the Bluetooth adapter could connect.The printed user guide is translated in many languages but useless to all readers as it describes only how to setup and install the drivers which most of us know anyway. The features of the phone are not described in the printed user manual.I copied the driver and bluetooth adapter utility from the CD but it did not connect with the handset. After uninstalling it re-installing same problem.Then I called up the TRENDNET 24/7 customer service where a representative took my Phone number and Name and model number of the hardware and said that someone would call on Monday (I called them on saturday). I was very certain that if I could not get this device to work in another one hour I would surely send it back first thing Monday morning.I downloaded the driver from the TRENDNET website and decided to give it another shot. This time it worked.The handset is very basic with 4 ringtones and no way to add more.Can't do anything with the display either.It does not have a phonebook or any other utilites which one would except from a phone. Like one touch dialling, Alarm, Timer, Stopwatch, Auto Answer etc.When using Skypeout I can't disconnect the phone by pressing the red disconnect button on the handset, I have to open the skype application and the disconnect it. So one needs to be near the computer to do this.On the whole a dissapointment not worth the price.Niloufer Tamboly, CISSP | 0negative

CellStik
I did not have any luck with the cell stick. I followed the directions given and even had my kids try - no luck. The worst part was when I went to disconnect, I had difficulty removing the device from my phone. I just threw it away. A total waste of money. | 0negative

Comfort and Performance
I am using an LG Sentio which is my first ever smartphone and also my first ever bluetooth phone. A friend let me try about three different headsets. Two Motorola and a Plantronix. The Plantronix had great performance but was very uncomfortable and could not be worn for more than a half hour. I became convinced that any headset that intruded into your ear would not work for me. The other Motorola was comfortable but tended to fall off (I also wear glasses so that might have something to do with it.), and was both hard to hear and drove me crazy when trying to voice dial. The Motorola HS850 was the last he let me try. Not only was it comfortable, it stayed in place and performance was excellent. I suspect the boom mike has a lot to do with it. The length of the mike might put some off, but it doesn't bother me at all. Voice dialing is no problem. If I have any complaint, it's that the multifunction button for answering calls and other functions is a tad small and sometimes takes a moment to find. That will probably change as I get used to it. But it's the best I've tried and is good enough for me. | 1positive

Not what I expected
When this came in the mail, I was very disappointed because it looked like cheap plastic. I expected a shiny rich colored blue mist color (just like in the picture). Instead, what I got is this cheap looking blue mist plastic face plate. I gave it two stars because the price is cheap (but I still had to pay shipping and handling). Even so, I still probably would not use this because it's just too cheap looking! | 0negative

He loves it!
The case is very good. I bought it for my brother. It's on his phone now! Maybe the only imperfection is that the shipping time was too long. I ordered this item at the end of October, it delivered to me in the first week of December. The shipping time was a little bit over one month... I didn't expect that long. But I understand it might be affected by "Hurricane Sandy". The seller is very nice. He/she emailed me and agreed to make it a free shipping. Finally, I received this pretty case. My brother loves it. It's a long expected one. But it's really good. | 1positive

Nowhere Near Worth the Price
I have used smartphones, or "convergence devices" since 1999; this Samsung is the fourth or fifth model I've used and it's not worth the outrageous $600 or $700 price tag. The previous Samsung, the I330, is superior. The processing speed is better on the I500, and it's supposed to be tri-band, but for most practical pursposes it's not as good a device. The I330 has a really good and useful speakerphone, which the I500 does not, the writing and viewing areas are bigger and brighter. It's actually easier to one-hand the virtual phone dialer on the I330 than the plastic buttons on the I500.If you cannot live without a clamshell smartphone, this is the one, but if you like Graffiti entry it's annoying to use the microscopic area crammed next to the clamshell hinge on the I500. And the stylus -- they get tinier every month. If you plan to enter more than six or seven characters, you will not enjoy the I500. I bought a Belkin sylus/laser pointer thing to use on it.If the device had Palm 5.0, there might be a stronger argument that it's progress over the I330. Battery life is better and processing speed is a bit higher, but the negatives for me outweigh these benefits. I may try to replace my dead I330 and give up on this one. | 0negative

Motorola H500
I bought the Motorola H500 Nickel color for my husband because I had bought myself the pink one and loved it. It fits nice behind my ear (either ear) and is light weight I can hardly feel I have it on. I find it easy to use and it was easy to setup. It paired nicely to his Nokia as my pink colored one paired nicely with my MotoRazor 3v, we are both very happy with this product. | 1positive

DID NOT WORK, IT IS FROM CHINA, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
I PLACED ORDER FOR THE SUNFORCE AC/DC POWER CONVERTER, IT CAME IN AND IT WOULD NOT WORK, AMAZON DID SEND A REPLACEMENT AND LABEL SO I COULD SEND THE BAD ONE BACK. WHEN I GOT THE REPLACEMENT IT DID NOT WORK EITHER. I WOULD RATE THIS PRODUCT A ZERO. AMAZON REFUNDED MY MONEY IN FULL. I WILL CONTINUE BUYING THRU AMAZON BUT TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA. I ALWAYS BUY USA UNLESS THERE IS NOTHING AVAILABLE. I DON'T MIND PAYING MORE IF USA IS AVAILABLE BUT USA MADE PRODUCTS ARE NOT ALWAYS MORE EXPENSIVE BUT ARE MUCH BETTER QUALITYTHANK YOUJERRY FROM TEXAS | 0negative

Do not buy. You've been warned.
I ordered this product shortly before an overseas trip. I tested it at home and it worked for some period of time. The quality of the product is not at all impressive. However, I had hopes that it would at least be serviceable for my journey. I was wrong. The product stopped functioning after a week or so of extremely light use.First the headset stopped pairing to devices as well as the included "aux headphone" transmitter and next the battery stopped holding a charge. I couldn't even see the device while it was plugged into the wall and supposedly broadcasting a bluetooth signal.Aside from these woes, the headphones have an extremely cheap build. The part that wraps around the back of your head feels like it's going to snap at any moment, the battery pops off too easily, and the bluetooth pairing key is out of the ordinary.. which makes it impossible to pair with devices that don't have any form of input/pair without keys.The only good thing about this item is the on ear padding.. that's quickly ruined by the terrible tin sound coming out of the speakers.The price currently being charged for these headphones as of this date (Aug 20, 2010) is extortion.I wouldn't pay any amount of money for another pair. Technical support was unresponsive. My advice would be to wait for something better.. or just spend your money on some high quality in ear or on ear wired headphones.. the advantages of wireless do not outweigh the disadvantages of having to use this product.Avoid it like the plague. | 0negative

Very pleased with the simplicity of ADS Instant Music
It was surprisingly easy to use. I plugged one cable from this unit to my PC via the USB port and another cable from this unit to the headphone port on my CD player and used Nero SoundTrax to transfer the music from cassettes to my computer. All the necessary cables were included with the Instant Music unit and my PC recognized it right away. It has worked flawlessly and I have transferred about 70 cassettes so far. | 1positive

reuires brute force
The stereo headset is ideal for use in your office you can connect it to your PC and listen to radio. But requires some brute force to insert it into the nokia 3230. Also it does not have a direction telling you which side is up and which side is down. At first since it won't go into the phone I guessed I was using it upside down. But you may end up damaging your phone.. so watch out.. | 0negative

This phone is a joke.
I ordered this phone for my son who will be going back to college soon. The first phone was received promptly. It did not work--wouldn't even turn on--battery would not charge. So I sent it back for a replacement. Second one arrived. Worked fine for 24 hours; then the outside screen went blank. I am sending this phone back and canceling my order. I will never buy Motorola again. Totally frustrating and unsatisfactory. I hope I will not get crappy service when I request a refund. | 0negative

Works great for me.
These seem to be working great, been using it for several weeks now and haven't had any problem. Also great they come in a set so that I won't be without should I lose one. The carry case I use seems to allow the stylus to get pulled out on occasion which is how I lost the first one I think, so a new case may fix that problem, but love this replacement pack.Tom | 1positive

Best for the past two years
I have been a user of blue tooth earpieces for the past three years when they first came out. I have tried many, including other models of Plantronics as well as Jabra, Sony and Motorolla. None is better than this one. Has the best call clarity, best distance from the device and longest battery and hence the size.Believe me, buy on this one. Don't waste time and money on any other models of Plantronics and don't even attempt other brands. | 1positive

Bad luck with product but vendor fair
I received my original order, Motorola Bluetooth headset within 7 business days after ordering. It did not work at all, the battery wouldn't work after about 2 minutes of use. I sent it back to vendor at my cost and received another unit, which did the same, battery would die right away. I returned this second unit for a refund and would now only consider trying another unit if from a local store. | 0negative

A tangle free brief case!
These are great. I carry about 5 different cables in a small bag in my briefcase. I travel every week and use these cables constantly. I LOVE them, they have eliminated all the frustrating tangles trying to plug stuff in. I use this to charge my BT headset and PDA/phone plus it gives a trickle charge to my Kindle. | 1positive

The samsung WEP200 headset is excellent! Its comfortable, lightweight, very loud and its clear! For the money, its by far the best headset you can buy. Dont let the cheap price fool you, just buy it!

Works great at first, but it doesn't last . . .
The one thing worse than having to replace a shoddily built cell phone is having to deal with headsets designed to last only months.I've used probably dozens of various headsets. I was desperate one day and purchased this model. Everything seemed fine at first, although I did have some minor gripes. The volume control is meaningless, for one. I turned it up to its fullest strength and it was barely acceptable. You'd have to be the Six Million Dollar Woman to be able to use the lower settings.The manufacturer includes two additional colord soft "tubes" for cosmetic purposes. These are placed on the small arm that stretches towards your mouth. They have no practical purpose.What they didn't include were additional earpieces which is what you really need. This headset is designed with a small rubber-like earpiece that swivels on the plastic frame. This is for comfort and to better direct the sound into your ear. There's just one problem - this piece falls off! Mine came off several times and I was luckily abie to find it and put it back on. This lasted a few weeks. I've now lost the piece and can't find it. What remains is a hard plastic frame with ridges that hurt your ear. The headset, minus this small essential piece, is virtually useless at this point.The manufacturer could have solved this problem a couple of ways. One, provide additional earpieces. Two, make it so the thing doesn't fall off to begin with.Don't waste your money on this one. | 0negative

Beware - lacking customer support and faulty cables
I bought my Jawbone the week after the iPhone came out. I used it in my office, at home, and in the car for about 3 weeks. Then it just stopped working. I contacted their support and got this response:"The issue may be with the charger rather than the Jawbone itself. Because of the wide range of usage patterns, we do not cover the charger under the warranty plan. However, as a courtesy to you, we would like to send you a complimentary one-time replacement."To which I want to point out 3 things:1. Currently I am in my second week with a useless jawbone and even after I get a replacement cable that might not be the source of the problem (i'll update when I know more)2. They do not warranty the charger cable. This is ridiculous because this cable is unique to their product. Most companies can make cables that dont fail and/or are replaceable by those of another company. If yours fails you will NOT be able to use any old USB cable. It is a custom cable that only they make. Mine died in less than a month while sitting on my desk.3. Providing warranty coverage for a product that died within a month should not be presented like they are doing me a favor.Update: I got a new cable from them and it solved the problem. I also got a response from a different and significantly more helpful CSR who said that they "will be happy to send you another complementary replacement USB cable." if I have another problem. I live about 10 miles from the company's headquarters and was without a cable and way to charge my phone for almost 2 weeks. While I am happy it is now working again, and I appreciate the response from the other CSR, I am no longer recommending this product to friends without caveats. | 0negative

GREAT HS850 Bluetooth Headset!
Great value for the price paid. This product performs beyond what I hoped in a bluetooth headset. You cannot go wrong with this device. It fits comfortable on your ear for prolonged period of time and makes multi-tasking a breeze when using your phone along with other tasks. | 1positive

Hands Free Ear Bud
This item worked great. Sound received was outstanding, and folks I spoke with said, it sounded great. Sorry to say, it only lasted a couple of days, before the flimsy wiring fell apart. Vendor was great but again, the item was manufactured cheaply. Figured the cost of returning item just wasn't worth the time and effort. | 0negative

1st time is not a charm
I ordered this phone but it did not work when I received it. The phone would not turn on, would not charge, etc. I received shipments of parts, other phones, and finally received a different model, W300i, that worked properly. This model is currently $60.00 cheaper though, and I have yet to be reimbursed. | 0negative

NOT BLACKBERRY COMPATIBLE
iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for Blackberry and other PDA/ HandheldsReceived this as a gift, and spent more than an hour trying to peel off the sticker placed OVER the keyboard. 25% of the keys were covered in unremoveable sticker remnants. Finally removed using toxic goo-gone, but not worth the effort, since the product is NOT (even though it states that it is in the product name) compatible with my newer model blackberry. The product's customer support staff was completely unhelpful, and told me that ALL of the drivers on the CD were out of date and that my newer model blackberry was only compatible with some other random product they offered. DON'T DO IT unless you (a) have an unusually high tolerance for picking stickers off computer keys and (b) don't actually need a keyboard you can use! | 0negative

Probably the best headset out there.
I work for Verizon Wireless in their tech support department and I have yet to use a better Bluetooth headset. I've owned 4 over the last year; a Jabra, a Motorola, this one and another Plantronics. And I've used several different ones over time in the testing process, and this is easily the best I've used. The earlier Plantronics was also very good as well. The Jabra didn't have very good noise-reduction and the Motorola was a terrible purchase altogether. But this headset I can say with ease is superb. Great sound, it picks up very little in the way of ambient noise, and the charge lasts forever, seemingly!UPDATE: When I originally purchased this device over 2 years ago, I di have to replace it back in July. Why? Because I had it in a messenger bag that got stepped on. I used it just about every day, and the only reason I had to get a new headset is because it was physically damaged. Guess which headset I got to replace it? THE SAME ONE! If the previous one worked for over 2 years and only stopped working because it got stepped on, then this is the one I'm sticking with for as long as they make them. | 1positive

Really cheap stuff! DON'T BUY!
I should have realized that one does not get an authentic Nokia charger for $6(it was marked down to that from $24). Here I am thinking that it seems like such a good deal and this cheap charger with the name "NAKLA" shows up. I think ok, maybe this is one of those third party things which might just work and then plug it in. Initially, I plug it in for a whole hour and I see that it has charged to about 20%. A normal Nokia charger would charge it to almost 90% in that time!I was on a 15 minute phone call and then the battery just died on me. I plugged the charger and then there is this black screen that I have never seen before on my E71. I was trying to firmly press the pin and the pin just snapped. I regret having purchased this product. I need a new charger now and I am not even sure if I can turn my phone on again. Maybe this mistake has even cost me my battery. | 0negative

Don't buy this headset!
I was profoundly disappointed with this headset. It seemed perfect until I had been running for about 3 minutes. Then, apparently, my perspiration caused it to malfunction and stop working entirely, making it useless. After the fact, I looked on the web and saw that MANY MANY other customers have had this exact problem. I contacted Motorola but they were not helpful. I contacted the Amazon merchant and they refused initially to give me a refund (until I contacted the BBB). Amazon, however, was extremely helpful and refunded my money (although they were not the seller and had no obligation). Kudos to Amazon! Shame on Motorola for selling this defective product! | 0negative

Well, I've tried 3 headsets and this one is the best so far. It's comfortable to wear. It's loud and the person I'm talking to can always hear me. The charge time is good.

Jawbone is great
I think this item is far superior to many bluetooth headsets on the market today. For me it was important to cut down on road noise while driving and it does a great job. I do however think my ear canal is shaped funny, because this device keeps pulling away from my ear canal when I start talking so sometimes I can't hear as well unless I push it back into my ear. Maybe I'm weird, but for being mass produced, it's a great product. | 1positive

review
My tracfone has worked out good so far. Customer service is fine and the free voicemail was easy to set up and use. If you decide to get a tracfone, please email me for a quick referral before activating it- we each will get 100 free minutes from the 'refer a friend' program. I'll also send you the simple instructions to follow. I've used Tracfone for quite a while, so i should be able to answer any questions you might have.ps even if you have activated in the last few weeks i should be able to get us the free minutes. | 1positive

Technology At It's Best!
I bought this to replace my one-year-old Samsung SCH-A670.Here are my opinions on some of the RAZR's features-VZ Navigator-Great for when you're driving and you're lost, and when you don't have a navigational system in your car, like I don't.V Cast-Great for when you want to watch short movies or full music videos while on the go and you don't have access to a computer. The only con is that it only gets covrage in certain areas.Speakerphone-You can't always have your wireless telephone up to your ear, and the speakerphone helps with that, a feature my SCH-A670 didn't have!Ultra-Sleek Design-Wanna have the latest? The RAZR has the thinnest design!Camera/Video RAZR-It has a 1-megapixel digital camera with a 4X digital optical zoom. It can capture flix (video), too! But, you can't send anybody flix who doesn't have flix compatibility.Color-The gray color is in style right now, and the RAZR has that color!Overall-Since I bought the RAZR a couple of months ago, it has made me happy, except the battery died on me 2 months after I got it. I've always heard the battery life was short, and now I agree! | 1positive

Works as advertised--no problems
This power splitter works just as it should. The plug is slightly difficult to attach, but then it stays attached--no worries. The accessory plugs at the ends fit the adapters just right, and the power supply was able to charge my Nokia n810 and Palm Treo 700 both at the same time with no trouble. | 1positive

Don't bother if you have Nextel Phones
Another product with decent design and idea. However, if you own a locked phone regardless of carrier, you cannot get full feature use unless you buy an unlock code so that you can tap into the complete ability of your phone. Regardless of the advertising and packaging, it does not work for "all" phones. | 0negative

Jabra BT620s Bluetooth Adaptor - not as good as it seems
When I came across this product, which was by accident, I grew excited...thinking, FINALLY. As I read the product information - I thought it was a great idea. So I decided to buy it coupled with the Jabra BT620s Bluetooth Headphone for my brand new ipod. I gave a true run of it, testing it out for a couple of months. My final thought is that I don't think the technology is up with the great idea. I found it very frustrating that my signal was constantly being interrupted, the volume only seems to go to a level '5' on a scale from 0 to 10. AND the adapter doesn't stay in the ipod. I don't think I would recommend this product. | 0negative

Customer service disaster
DO NOT buy this phone unless you're willing to endure continuous calls from Verizon Wireless if you try to close your account.Last week, shortly after telling Verizon's sales person I was switching to T-Mobile because their Customer Service is a disaster, I began getting three to five calls each day that hang up as soon as I answer. Doing a *69 revealed they were coming from 1-800-470-0768, Verizon Wireless' number. Calling a supervisor (Jasen) resulted in an apology and him putting me on their Do Not Call list, which he says won't take effect for 30 days. He also said this is a "known problem with Verizon's auto-dialer" for which Verizon has no solution. It's only noon and so far today I've gotten three calls from them, two hangups and another sales pitch to upgrade my phones and stay with Verizon Wireless.I'd rather stick needles in my eyes. | 0negative

Beware !!!! Make sure you read this before you order
If you plan to keep the phone and contract, it should be good.AT & T would start billing from the day you order even before the phone arrives in your hand and the number switching does not work at all. They automatically assign numbers and start billing on that.Also, if you return it back to amazon make sure you call up AT & T as well to cancel your line. I learnt this the hard way and had to pay up 120$ since i never called at & t and they send me a bill after 2 months... | 0negative

Disappointing software, non-standard USB data cable
Software is very limited/limiting and doesn't work very well. At all. I only really wanted this in order to type in phone contacts from my last phone rather than do it all on the phone itself, but, frankly, it's not even really up to that task, much less anything more demanding - like synchronising.The USB cable has a big fat dongle on it and is a device in it's own right - so cannot be used with other drivers/software that "talks" to a V3 (or other Motorola phones with the same data interface) directly. Extremely disappointed with this purchase.My advice would be to buy a standard USB->5 pin mini-USB cable anywhere for $5-$10 and use freely-available drivers and software for wallpaper/ringtones/volume gain/skins/pictures uploading/downloading instead.It only gets one star because there's not a selection for "zero". I'd like my money back because it's not fit for the purpose for which it was intended, but fat chance of that. | 0negative

good deal for the money
I felt that this was a pretty good deal for the money. The reception is usually pretty good. My only complaint is that you can't get more than a few feet from your phone without the reception going to static. That's the reason that I did not give this 5 stars. Otherwise, it's a good product. | 1positive

Linksys WIP320 Linksys Wireless-G Skype iPhone
I had been looking for a Skype phone that did not require a connection to the computer, and the Linksys WIP320 is a perfect fit. This phone can be used without a computer anywhere there is an open wi-fi network or a network for which the user has access privilege. It is an excellent quality product as we have come to expect from Cisco/Linksys, who are by the way, world leaders in IP telephony. This phone charges by a USB port or from the included wall charger. It allows the user to input their Skype account details, which are saved, as are the details of networks to which the phone connects. The sound quality is good, but there is no volume control, which is a surprising oversight. All in all, however, this is an excellent product which is now available at a reasonable price. | 1positive

Do not buy it! It's waste of money. It's a junk. I got it for my husband's cell because his other Nokia battery that came with the phone was not good. But... what a dissapointment. It had a very short life just like his other one. | 0negative

This is a little computer!
This phone is one of the milestones in the history of the cellular phones. Supporting an operating system, Symbian OS, you can download and run a lot of programs on this phone. You can turn this phone into a gaming machine, a camcorder or a digital camera, an mp3-player, a movie viewer, a voice recorder, a personal secretary, a GPS map browser, a book, a multifunction remote controller, practically everything that you can do with the computer, plus it is a phone(!!) and also you can carry it in your pocket :). Many of these programs are shareware, some can be purchased by paying a little bit of bucks. It uses the extendable MMC memory, it is perfect for storing videos, pictures and mp3s.Its nice look is also a plus. And also, since it is tri band and since it uses SIM-card, you can just use it in Europe and many other parts of the world, wherever GSM exists.I am just in love with this phone, especially after using a more primitve phone about 3 years. | 1positive

En Masse Satisfaction for Curve 8310
So, this is exactly what I've been looking for. It fits the Curve 8310 from AT&T; perfectly even if you have the extended battery.Three issues:1) The little retaining hook at the top will quickly scrape off the rubberizing material on the very top of the device.2) It has no magnet to put the BB to sleep (it has a place for one so I fixed this by taping in one from another case which I do not use).3) The top retaining piece of the clip broke after a few months (granted, I was futzing with it quite a bit).Point is, I paid less than a dollar for this, plus shipping. So, after the first broke, I bought three more. This means I've still paid substantially less for a product I like than one I do not. I keep a spare in my bag, and I'm good to go. When new one breaks (not happened yet) I move the magnet to the next one and I'm happy, and it's cheap.Did I mention it's cheap? Hope this helps! I tried others, and this is really, really hard to beat. | 1positive

I got a lemon
I bought an Audiovox 8610 cell phone last week and it broke after just two days. I had never had such a letdown experience with electronics before.While it worked I thought it was an okay cell phone. The ringtones on the phone are really dumb and there are only 3 or 4 music tones, all of which sound stupid. The ringtones are also too soft to hear if you carry the phone on the street. One look and you'll see this is _NOT_ a durable phone at all. The all-plastic body feels it'll break anyday now. Well in my case I didn't drop it or anything, it just wouldn't turn on after 2 days. By the way folks, the battery is _IMPOSSIBLE_ to remove, without damaging the phone body.This is an expensive product with poor quality. | 0negative

Do NOT buy this if you are a single user...
PLEASE NOTE This unit does NOT synchronise fully with your desktop email program unless you are using it as part of a corporate network. After endless hours on the phone with cingular and blackberry tech support it transpires that you must buy an additional $3,000.00 server to make this unit synchronise effectively with Outlook or other desktop organizers. This is not as advertised! Furthermore, the instructions for the blackberry are completely inadequate as are the online help options. I am furious and have returned my blackberry to cingular for a full refund. | 0negative

dont get this PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, dont get me wrong this phone is okay since it has a music player but at the end of the day this phone sucks!!!!!!!!!! The only reason why I got it was becuase it was cheap for me to renew my contract with T-mobile. It was not worth it. You cant listen to the radio unless you have the EXACT headphones that T-moblie gives to you, otherwise you have to plug in a stupid audio converter device. The camera takes pics that look like they were developed in 1974. And the stupid thing locks its buttons every 5 minutes. I have to unlock or open the phone every time want to look at something. | 0negative

My second bluetooth headset
Currently enjoying this headset after 6 months. Very light. I wear it all day and easily forget about it until the phone rings. Good reception. Stays charged all day even after extended use. I recommend this headset. | 1positive

Get a better phone
My wife and I got two of these phones for "free" when she switched to Cingular. After two weeks, we exchanged her phone for a new one of the same model because it would freeze and drop calls constantly. My phone was fine, but has lately been experiencing the same issues. I know service is not the problem as I had a Samsung phone through Cingular before and had no problems calling from the same areas. Sometimes I'll have 5 bars and all of the sudden it goes to 0 and takes a minute or two to come back.I do not recommend this phone. Even though it is/was free, it's not worth the frustration. | 0negative

Terrible static
I bought this to listen to music on my Droid in my 2009 Kia Spectra. It sucks. If I turn the volume up to anything remotely audible terrible static starts to come out of my car speakers. Many people online said to make sure you're listening while the Droid is not charging, but even when I unplug it from the charger the static persists. I purchased a better quality cable for $14 and haven't had any problems. It seems this specific cable is hit or miss, good luck.The good thing is I now have something to fiddle with, pulling the cable out from the retraction thing over and over sure is entertaining! | 0negative

Expiration date; poor service
Please be aware of two things about Virgin pre-paid:1) Each top-up card has an expiration date. If you are unlucky like I was last time, you might get a card that expires a couple days after you receive it, and then if you didn't notice, you'd be screwed out of $50.2) Don't count on Virgin to help you. Their customer service sucks. Long wait times, unhelpful service reps, and just annoying website.If there's a 7-11 in your neighborhood, you may want to check out their Speak-Up prepaid service, which is cheaper and has better phones, plus your balance is good for one whole year (as opposed to 3 months with Virgin). | 0negative

Quack Device
Folks, this is nothing more than a sticker with a design on it.It can in no way, and does in no way improve reception at all.They were selling these for $20, now I see they are down to $1, and even that is a rip off, unless you are a collector of quack devices, in which case, you must have this for your collection of quack devices from this century.I am keeping mine in it's bubble package and display it on the wall near my test bench.One day these will be worth something as collectors items, but don't get one beleiving that it can actually do what it claims, because that is physically impossible. | 0negative

LG VX8500 Extended Capacity Battery
This LG OEM VX8500 extended battery arrived very quicky via ground transportation in perfect shape. I plugged it in and was up and operating for the next 3 days without recharging! I've now replaced both of our VX8500 cell phone batteries and we're extremely happy with the extended power. The phones only need recharging once a week, which is just great! These exetended batteries should last at least 3-4 times longer comparied to the original batteries due to charging them less. I would defintely buy from this seller again! | 1positive

BlueAnt Supertooth is awesome!!
The BlueAnt Supertooth is totally awesome. I bought both the BlueAnt and the Parrot MiniKit. I have to say without a doubt that I love the BlueAnt more. For starters once your phone is initially sync'd all you have to do to connect it to your phone from that point on is just turn on ole Blue. And with the push button mic on switch, there's no need to hold the button for a few seconds. Nope, you just press the mic release button, which is spring loaded, and when the mic comes out the devices simultaneously turns itself on and syncs with your phone. Even if you are already talking on the phone. Then lets say you are blabbing away in your car on the BlueAnt and you get to your destination and you need to get out, just pick up your cell phone then press the mic back into the BlueAnt to turn it off and your on your way. The sound is clear, it blocks out wind noise and background noise. The volume is easy to adjust by pressing a simple + or - sign. The BlueAnt is held in place on your visor with a clip. It has a set of magnets on the back of it that hold it to the metal clip, and you have to do something in the realm of a Duke's of Hazard jump to get that thing to come off. The only thing that I wish I could change about it is that you have to mount it to the left of you visor because the mic comes out to the right. So if you are a passenger you can't have this thing mounted to the right of the visor or the mic will stick out onto the 'A' pillar. But then again if you are the passenger you can just pick up the phone and not worry about it. But you get my drift. If the newer models have addressed this feature I would recommend getting one, but if not, trust me, you won't be disappointed. Way to go Ole Blue! | 1positive

It is a very nice device
I'm tempted to point out the number of people who have had problems with this phone also mention how they were on their 2nd, 3rd and 4th Treo. Maybe not everybody is a 'big' PDA-Phone person. No problem there. Don't buy it. But buying it, and then bellyaching about how its too big seems like... well, I just don't get it. I like everything about the phone except the plastic shell, which seems lame. Plus, and I hope I am wrong, I don't think you can upgrade to newer versions of the PPC O/S. Other then that, I love it. The 'chicklet' keys are great. Can anybody really type without a keyboard? I can't. This thing lets me get company email, personal email, and it opens most attachments. The syncing to Outlook is PERFECT. Yes, the phone is big, but its actually usable in place of a laptop. Can't really say that about most PDA-phone. | 1positive

Phone stop receiving and sending signals after 5 months
I am really pissed off with this device, I can not express how much I lost because of this stupid device, at this point I am not sure this is sprint or handspring issue. Phone started troubling me after 5 months of proper functioning. My bad time I had moved to new apartment and I did not have home phone for a week and this device completely stop working when I did not have alternate ph no. My kind advice please do not buy this device with sprint service, though Sprint agreed to give a me new phone, I will cancel sprint service and buy some simple phone which works all the time | 0negative

Great for the price
Got this really cheap from BargainCell. Fits well over my Treo 755p and easy to get on and off which is essential as I have to take off the skin in order to fit my USB Sync cradle. The skin isn't as thick as the OEM iSkin I use for my iPod. And like the black iSkin, you can easily see all the white lint and fuzz it attracts. But overall for the price, it's a good value. SHIPPING: Ordered Sunday night. BargainCell shipped it Thursday (they're based in southern California), received Friday. | 1positive

Should have believed other Terrible reviews!!!!
I admit that between the gophers (as it turned out, moles as well) and my wife complaining about our back yard being a gopher mound romper room, I was willing to try anything, including these "Solar Pest Repellers". WELL I advise you, RUN AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT! I repeat, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!! I state again, DO NOT WASTE 1 CENT OF YOUR MONEY ON PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT!!!! Like virtually everyone said, it does not work; no way, not even close!! After trying them in different locations, depths, etc., etc. I finially paid a trapper to come out and try his luck (yes we still have trapper people here). WELL, 2 gophers, 2 moles, about 8 days and $160.00 later I have been gopher and mole free for nearly 9 months now...... It took wheelbarrowing and raking about 2 yards of topsoil along with several applications of grass seed and fertilizer, but we are almost back to a "normal" looking back yard!! I did NOT get any satisfaction from the company (Sunforce + other AKA's) when I tried to return the 3 I purchased (too late for Amazon). Anyone want to try 3 of these junkers, REALLY CHEAP??? | 0negative

Total Waste of Time
Has to be the worst phone I have ever had to pay for. Between the missing features (no voice dial on a $200 phone?!) crippled features (I have to buy ringtones, use their t-zone for the WAP when I have the unlimited internet service already?) and poor reception and terrible battery life it has almost made me want to pay the early cancellation fee and find another carrier. Anyone who would charge some much for this POS really doesn't deserve my business. | 0negative

If I could rate this phone a negative, I would
I bought this phone through AT&T;, not Amazon, but regardless of where you buy this phone you'll be getting the same results: Junk, Junk, Junk, Junk!At first, this phone was nice, decent, it worked. I wasn't especially happy with the internet features though (It lacked greatly when it came to loading different pages. For the most part I was stuck on a limited facebook and looking at google search results.)However, the phone soon began to show signs of faultiness: the longer a word was, the more lag created (5 letters or more)/ the phone itself would stop working for periods of time (today in fact it worked three times, just long enough to send a text each time.)The phone now almost never turns on, and the few times it does turn on it barely works. This phone is complete junk and anyone that buys it will be wasting precious money. If you don't believe me, just check AT&T;'s site. They've gotten so many complaints that they've discontinued the phones production in the WNY area. | 0negative

the belt clip is weak
This is a nice enough case but, after just 3-4 weeks use, the belt clip tore away from the back. There is insufficient reinforcement in this area. You may not be as rough on it as I was, but I have owned other, cheaper cell phone cases that never did this. Sorry to report this because I have liked other DLO products. | 0negative

Unbelievable PDA...
I bought my 7100t several weeks ago because I was impressed with the size. I could easily use it as a phone and also have my contacts, calendar, Internet, and the huge bonus of email all with me at once. This little device has transformed my organizational capability and made my life a whole lot easier. I use the Internet for work purposes quite a bit and I have found typing easier than expected. No, you can't type like on a PC but the QWERTY keyboard is very serviceable and great for quick responses.I have never loved a device before but when you experience the critical functionality that this unit provides it is easy to see why some call them CRACKBERRIES. This is one very cool device that has had a significant impact on my productivity. There is NOTHING like it on the market and the T-mobile service has been a pleasant surprise. This is a superb device. Highest recommendation. | 1positive

The best bluetooth for me
I bought my first Voyager 510 over 3 years ago and I loved it! It worked great and it was the only headset I could really hear clearly out of. It was the only bluetooth I had that was loud enough while I was driving. When it finally wore out, through years of abuse (no carrier for it) I thought I would try something different just to see if I could find something better. I ended up returning that bluetooth and ordering another Voyager 510. In my opinion it is the best there is for me. | 1positive

Great combo, absolutely useless, horrid manual
The functions and usefulness of this are fantastic. The essential features are fairly intuitive, particularly if you owned a Palm or Treo before. That said, the more unique the function, the less likely you'll be able to use it without searching high and lo to find out how. The manual is completely useless. Whoever wrote this was a M****F*****... For those who aren't likely to want to spend hours online trying to learn to use those functions, or wont wait for the "for dummies" version, you might want to consider buying something else - its that bad. | 1positive

Don't Buy
I loved my T616 for years and was looking forward to the upgrade, but the Z520a is not the phone to get. The problem is the stupid camera button the left side near the hinge is just to easy to activate (pressed for more than a second) with the phone open or closed. I bought this for my wife as a Christmas gift, but I will be returning it for a RAZR. At least the RAZR opens much easier and the buttons are on the side of the screen and not the keypad so you don't haved to worry about where your fingers are while opening the phone or during the call. You also can't change the menu layout on the Z520a so all the Cingular pay services are only one click away ($'s). The RAZR at least lets you view menu in list form and change the order so useful and free items are first like calendar and contacts. Like on the S/E W600i, Cingular only gives you useless demo games. Signing up for a 2yr contact is not good enogh for a free game I guess from Cingular. | 0negative
