Usually Sounds As Good As a Wired Headset
I've had quite a few bluetooth headsets over the past couple of years, and this is one of my favorites. I currently go back and forth between this one and my current favorite, the Jabra 250v, another top headset. The Motorola HS850 has some of the best features:1) The on/off switch is the best, by far. I know that may sound funny, but if you've never had a wireless headset you don't realize how frequently you turn it off and on. With a wired headset, you just plug it in to use, unplug it to switch over to the phone. Pretty easy. But with *wireless*, the phone doesn't know if it's on your ear or on your desk. So, if you leave your headset turned on and set it on the desk, it's still going to answer the call. In other words, when your phone rings and you click answer and put it to your ear, if the headset was left on and anywhere nearby, the headset will handle the call, and your phone will sound dead. It takes a while to get used to that.But my point is, no other headset is as easy to turn off and on than the Motorola HS850. You simply flip the microphone closed for off, and flip it out again for on. Very cool. Other headsets make you press on/off buttons for many seconds, and listen for a little tone to let you know it's finally off or on.2) The sound clarity and noise canceling circuitry is very, very good. When you're in a car, the person on the other end of the line can usually hear the drone of your car, or the wind whipping through the window. But this headset has very good noise canceling circuitry, and most of those noises are cut out before your listener can hear them. A lot of times people can't even tell I'm calling from the car.My only complaint is that there's no way to get the speaker closer to your ear, so sometimes it's hard to hear. What I mean is, because it sits on top of and a little away from the ear, any outside noise tends to detract from your ability to hear. That's one of my favorite things about the Jabra 250v, is that it has an earpiece that sits more in the ear, helping block out sounds around you.CONCLUSION: Great features. Great battery life. Good comfort and sound quality. If the speaker was louder or closer to the ear I'd love it. | 1positive

Inexpensive charger works great
It's used extensively for my iPod nano at work. Don't be turned off by the plastic connector, as the metal tabs lock it correctly.One note though, the charger doesn't work for a co-worker's iPod 40Gb generation 3. He has battery problems anyway, but the regular Apple chargers work for him. | 1positive

These work pretty well
I have small ears, so the only one I can use is the small, and it is still not small enough. But the only way I can wear my bluetooth is with the Jabra eargel. So they work pretty good! | 1positive

Don't BUY
As much as I love that product as it slims down the note II phones and it's not bulky as much as I hate the fact that as soon as you bend the clip is completly brooken. It need to be strengthen from the clip area so it doesn't break. My recommendation is don't buy as this is my second one in less that two month. | 0negative

Great Headset
I used the original HS820 for years which was a great headset. This HS850 seems to match the quality of the original HS820 -- not the cheaper ones rolled out later -- with added convenience of the boom for on/off function. Sound quality is good and device connection is very easy. I've connected it to my Treo 680 and Blackberry Curve. I take this over the smaller dysfunctional brands or models any time. | 1positive

Problems with Motorola RAZR V3
While the seller was great and replaced the first defective phone, the second one was not much better. First phone would not charge. The second one charged okay, but would suddenly lose signal with a loud static and the screen would go white. Sometimes had to remove battery and replace it before phone would work. Previous two RAZRs (both more expensive models) were great, but would not recommend this model. | 0negative

Lost my new cellphone
This product is connected to the clip via a screw on the back. If your screw comes loose like mine did, you'll lose your cellphone too. Then you'll be screwed as I was. | 0negative

works great
I live in Chicago and have no problems getting a clear radio station. In fact it is powerful enough to transmit over a partial station with little or no crackle and hiss. I have had monster cable ipod versions of this product and there was always a high pitch hiss. This FM transmitter doesn't have any hiss. The cable is a nice length and weight.The best feature is the versatility, you can use it for your apple products or any other device with a 3.5mm port. Perfect for pandora or music off your phone. | 1positive

Dont do it buy a new phone
I was trying to save my blackberry pearl and I thought that by purchasing a new battery I would be able to. However the battery allowed the phone to turn on once, but it would not recharge. Big waste of time and money. | 0negative
|
Poorly constructed
It wouldn't hold my iPhone 3G, which kept sliding off. The spring arm mechanism was broken within 10 minutes. The price was cheap enough, but as they say, you get what you pay for. It went in the trash the first day. | 0negative

Tacky
It doesn't fit the Motorola Razr V3. The front cover shows the phone color under the case. I've threw the junk in the drawer. | 0negative

Do NOT Buy This Item
This thing is a piece of JUNK. The cigarette adapter did not fit into my lighter and the thing broke after very limited, ONE DAY use. | 0negative
|
Awesome Clip
I have had the clip for about 1 month now and I have to say it does exactly as advertised. It is the Palm OEM case. I have a treo 755p and it fits in there perfectly. As other people have noted, the clip is extremely stiff so clipping it onto your belt and removing it is pretty tough. I guess that is a good thing. The manetic flap works like a charm. | 1positive
|
nice improvement
I bought this phone for my niece, who is nine. It's definitely an improvement on the 8500, and still very reliable and easy to use. It has excellent reception in our area, and it's very easy for her to manage minutes and download new ringtones through the website (virginmobileusa). The phone is small and rather remarkably sturdy, considering that it gets tossed around in her bag all day, and the best part about it is that it's very inexpensive. | 1positive
|
Decide carefully
I read all the review before I decided to buy this phone. But unfortunately I ended up with bad experience with it. Here is my story. I got this phone last year with 1 year contract with Verizon, but now my battery is close to not functioning unless I charge it very often. It definitely decrease dramatically from when I first got it. Another annoying thing about this version is it's very weak. My spouse has same provider with same manufacturer but newer version (LG V6000) will have signal while mine is beeping out of range. I also agree with some earlier review about not able to see the screen under the sun. I don't think it was that big of a deal, but it is. You will have to take off your sunglass whenever there is sun.Below are my complains as well, but I guess it's more of a preference:Vibrate mode only when the ring tone is on loudest or silent. Would be nice to be able to have vibrate when the ring tone is regular.I consider myself as a very basic phone user. I only need a phone that works when I need to make a call, I don't really care much about any gadget that much. But I am very dissappointed at this phone. | 0negative

Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset
I had this headset before and I loved it. I had it for a long time however it finally started getting really hard to charge as the point of entry was getting pushed in and the charger wasn't making contact.It's comfortable, affordable and people sound fine on it and I believe I sound fine to them too! | 1positive

Sweet price...
Way cheaper than buying from any retail shop or even the cell phone cart at the mall. I'm going to get all my cell phone extras through Amazon! | 1positive

Low quality
Item did not work, part number matches working item I own. I bought 2 of these cables and both of them do not work. When i plug the cable in to a USB port and connect it to my phone *nothing* happens.I already had a working cable, and it works on the exact same setup where all I change is the cable.These cables are defective. I would call them cheap knock-off's but they have a samsung OEM sticker. | 0negative

No more Bluetooth headset
I have never been a fan of headsets or headphones. I bought a good Bluetooth headset and now it sits in my briefcase. I saw the Blue Ant Supertooth as a possible alternative.Positives:1. Very clear and loud speaker.2. Buttons are large and easy to use, even when driving.3. Unit paired easily to my Motorola phone.4. Others are surprised that I am using a Bluetooth device.5. Voice dialing makes placing calls easy.6. Compact size.7. Great battery lifeNegatives:There have been no real issues so far. Volume needs to be adjusted sometimes from call to call.The blue flashing light indicating the power is on is Not distracting even at night. I also found that just adjusting the angle of the sun visor is enough so the microphone is at the proper angle. Considering the $70 I paid for it from Amazon, it's a great product. It exceeded my expectations. | 1positive

Good buy
Hello all,I have had no problems what so ever with this product besides leaving it in hotel rooms and buying more of them to replace the one that I had lost. Great product and great pricing, fast shipper (not ups). | 1positive

Not strong
Well even though the product looks good, it is a struggle to make it fit. The plastic tore off when trying to fit it (bottom section). I would not recommend buying this. | 0negative

cheap clip
Th case was alright. But the clip is not exactly strong. I ran into the some thing hard with the case and the clipjust snapped right off. It is not replaceable or repairable so the whole case is not useless. I lasted me a whole 4 weeks... | 0negative

Was mine the only with very poor craftsmanship?
I owned this leather pouch holder for my Treo 650 for a full 2 months before the pouch fell apart completely, rendering it useless. The pouch is two separate components glued: the first part is the pouch itself, and the second part is the belt clip. After being happy with my product for 2 months, it spontaneously (not gradually) came apart where the belt clip is inserted into the pouch. A person walking behind me pointed out that my pouch and phone were on the floor; I looked down at my belt to see that the belt clip was still there. This is a great, space-saving way to store the phone, and I can't say that other pouches have the same defect, but the specific pouch that I purchased was of very poor quality, and almost resulted in me losing the very sensitive information contained on my Treo. | 0negative
|
Batteries expire almost immediately
Because the product is touted as being "voice activated", I assumed that meant it would drain the batteries only when actually being used. But after my first conversation using the device, I disconnected it from the phone and from the headset, and put it away. Got it out again for another conversation a few days later, only to find out that the batteries were dead.For a while I tried the approach of putting the batteries in immediately before using it, then removing the batteries after the call, putting them in again for the next call, etc. But that was just too much of a hassle.After a bit of experience with that, I stopped using the device. | 0negative

Agreed. Good technology but horrible fit
I have to admit most of my co-workers like this headset, so I was optimistic when I bought it. I've owned several Bluetooth (2 different Motorolas, 2 different Jabras, and the Treo) and sound quality versus fit often seems to be a tradeoff. Same story here: good sound but bad fit.This does seem to have better sound quality if you place your hand over the headset and hold it into your ear. The headset will stay for a minute or two and then pop out. If I'm driving and put on glasses it will not stay in ear at all. I've tried both ears (2 loops are included for each ear) and all 4 inserts. I wish someone made the fit and on/off ease of the Motorola 850, but the quality of the Jawbone. | 0negative
|
Big things in small packages
All I wanted was a small earpiece that stayed in place without the wrap-around thingy, good volume and clarity and basic functions that are easy to use, and that's exactly what I got. This is the best $23 I ever spent. | 1positive

Phone is cute and easy to use but.......
I bought this phone because I always liked the RAZR, and the phone was cute and cheap. What a mistake! The phone does not hold a charge. I talked on the phone for a little over one hour and sent a few text messages, and the battery died! It doesn't even last one whole day. Also, the phone shut off for no reason. I also could not check my email; I kept getting error messages. The phone was an AT&T phone, and even after I configured it for my carrier, it still didn't work right. I suspect this may have been a refurbished phone, even though it was advertised as "new". I think these phones are hit or miss. Let the buyer beware! | 0negative

Piece of Garbage
I bought this item and it arrived in a poorly packaged sleeve (with no label or company name). That was my first indication that something was wrong. The item doesn't turn off when the car is parked so it will drain your battery if you don't remove it (inconvenient). I used it in my car for about 2 - 3 months until it randomly stopped working. As a final "see ya, sucker!" move, it blew a fuse in my car (the lighter fuse where it was plugged in) so I had to fix that as well.Don't waste your money. Just use a regular charger at home or find a real website that's selling this model. | 0negative

Pretty good phone
I think the Motorola v3xx is a nice phone. It performs the basic functions of a phone pretty well which is to make and receive calls. I haven't explored the other features much. I've been using it for about a month and didn't find any problems with it. Reception and battery life are good. | 1positive

Cell phone..
I've had my Tracfone for about 5 months now. The reception has been generally good. Once i got the phone activated, I haven't had any problems. Tracfone has a 'refer a friend' program that will give each of 100 free minutes. All you have to do is send me an email asking for a referral. My email is debsclay@gmail.comthank you. | 1positive

Good But Not Great
This is a very cute phone, its easy to carry around. The camara on this phone rotates and if u want it lets u set up the camara and it gives you 10 seconds to get your pic. BUT the pic on this phone i have to admit isnt all that great...if your looking for a GREAT cam dont get this phone. but if your like me & just have it to get a pic of a cute dress u wanna show your friends then u should get it. | 1positive

Think twice about Cingular and GSM, and don't count on iSync
This smartphone would be great, if only it worked as advertised. I'll detail my beefs here, but I should say first off that I know people who own the Sprint version of this phone (CDMA rather than GSM), and they have many fewer of these problems. Plus Sprint data plans are WAY cheaper. If you have decent Sprint coverage in your area, and you're sold on Treo, that may be the way to go.* LOW VOLUME. Outdoors, you will have trouble hearing, even at the highest setting. The speakerphone is not loud enough, either.* POOR SIGNAL AND CALL QUALITY. With anything fewer that three bars, you will have trouble: dropped words, complaints from the other party that you can't be heard. And this phone will have fewer bars in more places --particularly indoors -- than a more ordinary GSM phone.* MAC SYNCING IS IMPERFECT. You can only have one address per contact if you're syncing through iSync on Mac OS X, and it will show up in your phone as the work address, no matter what it actually is. If you add a second address to a contact in your Treo, you will lose it after your next sync. Huge annoyance. (Birthdays and pictures do not sync either, although unlike addresses, they aren't advertised by Apple as working.)I *wish* this phone worked well, because I love the concept of it. I want to carry one device, with all my contacts at my fingertips. Lots of things on this phone are awesome: the keyboard, the screen, the VersaMail e-mail client, the Blazer Web browser, all the Palm software you can add. But, bottom line, it's a lousy phone, at least on GSM. | 0negative

low quality stylus.
I bought two of these items. After using the first for a week, each time, I wanted to pull the stylus from the jasjar, the whole pen remained blocked in the jasjar while the black cap pulled away from the pen. Few day later the head of the stylus broke when it fell on the floor. On the first day of usage of the second stylus, its head also broke. Very poor quality indeed. | 0negative

Not business calliber
I have the Palm Treo 700wx. The mini SD card that comes with this unit is put into an adapter, then inserted in the phone. The card sticks up above the phone's case, so it gets bumped on occasion. More often than not this dislodges it, and of course when you reinsert it, you go through the whole recognition thing again -- GPS and The Windows Media detector (which I don't use and can't uninstall).Most problematic is Bluetooth - I want to use this thing in my car, right? I want to use both the phone and the GPS, and yes, this may be at the same time. They (Palm) say this can't be done. It can, and works rather well - but then the next morning it requires a soft reset to get the phone to recognize the GPS. (So Palm is right after all :)Other than reinserting the SD card and soft resets, the unit works well. Other issues are the small screen (on the Treo 700wx) for a GPS, and the aggravating Tom Tom software which I don't like much. For example, upon exit, it notifies you that the SD card is write protected and it will not be able to save your preferences. The guy at Palm said "Oh, yeah, that's no problem... there are no preferences to be saved." So did it occur to you guys to clean up the software for the Palm product line???I knew this wouldn't be as good as the Garmin unit that wanted to get out of my car so badly it burst through the window one evening, but I figured that a GPS in my phone wouldn't get left in the car. Not worth it.I want to drive, use a GPS, and talk on a hands-free phone all at the same time, and not fumble with a bunch of buttons to do it. I ordered the Garmin Nuvi 660, which looks like it will do all of this, with a nice bright screen and better user interface. Plus I'll only have the one unit (and not a separate hands-free speaker device).PCUniverse (where I bought the Palm GPS) said this morning that they will let me know in five to seven days about the status of my return request. If they don't let me return it, look for it on Craig's List at a deep discount. :)Garmin Nuvi 660 Pocket Vehicle GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant | 0negative

Avoid this phone (and possibly Samsung)
-- terrible voice quality-- ridiculously low battery life-- phone becomes hot (yes, hot) after 5-10 mins use-- can't remember if this phone ever finished a long (>10min) call without dropping signal.-- one of our phones stopped working after 4 months of use. Verizon salesperson says this is due to "poor handling" on our part. How do you handle a cell phone poorly? We had to buy another phone.Frankly this is my first experience with a "picture" phone, not sure if all picture phones are this bad. So I am not in a position to compare. My last Nokia with AT&T; lasted 3 years without dropping a call, and Verizon signal strength is supposed to be superior to AT&T; at least in the San Francisco Bay Area. My friends say Samsung clam shell model phones are best avoided, in general, i.e. unless you think screen saver is the most useful feature in a cell phone. | 0negative

NO SIR DON'T LIKE IT
NO SIR DON'T LIKE IT. SENDING MINE BACK. TOO BULKY. DON'T LIKE THE CLIP SYSTEM. IT. STICKS OUT TOO FAR. I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT HUNG DOWN MORE INSTEAD OF STICKING OUT. IF YOU USUALLY CARRY A 20' TAPE MEASURE OR A PAGER MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE THIS. BUT I THINK THIS PHONE IS FAT ENOUGH ALREADY. | 0negative

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
This product is made of the cheapest material I have EVER SEEN!. Please do not even spent one cent on these bundled items. The label on them says made in China (of course), but they are of such cheap, plastic quality, I have never seen before. The cell phone holder does not even fit my Blackberry Pearl 8100, as the top of the holder is off center, and does not "clip on" to any part of the phone. Therefore, the phone is "loose" in the holder, and can easily fall out. I charged the phone with the car charger, and after 2hrs the phone was still only half charged. I was too afraid to use the wall charger. I think these products might ruin my Blackberry! I will be returning these items, and hopefully I can recieve my money back, and try to find products with better quality! | 0negative

This is not worth the money.
I bought this for $24 and it was not worth it. First of all it is a little hard to get on the phone. Also it doesn't last that long. I had it for about 2 months before it started to fall apart. | 0negative

Simply a perfect phone
I've been using GSM phones for about 15 years in Europe.I moved to the US last year and not knowing anything about US service providers, I decided to go for AT&T...; what a disastre (great national coverage - worst customer service I've ever dealt with - terrible international coverage). So I decided to change and tried T-Mobile (just felt right - perfect so far)and got the V600 mainly for its multi-band capabilities through Amazon. It's by far the best phone I've ever had. Easy to use, perfect camera for phone to phone or e-mail use. Great battery life. Perfect national coverage aswell as in Asia and all over Europe (speak for T-Mobile and the phone). I bought a protective cover as the phone surface scratches easily.The perfect phone for people who travel all over the place. | 1positive

Sounds Horrid
I don't have this phone, but here's my story. About two years ago, on Mother's day, there was a Sprint sale- buy one get one free. My dad, sister and I thought that it would be great if we get a cell for us and one for our mom. (We had a bad experience before-with a different company, someone stole it.) Well anyway, Mothers day past, and mom got a new cell, and my dad, sister and I shared the 2nd one. Now, I am tired of it because I can't really make a call-only on free weekends-because it's a lot of money, my parents say. So I thought it would be great to get a cell for Christmas coming up. I gathered everything that I thought would be nice to have, and I got my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices. Today, I was scanning amazon, and searched for cell phones. I saw this one, and all the features caught my eye. I printed it out and showed my dad. I decided to read customers reviews, to see if I didn't know anything that I should have. I'm glad I did. Everybody said that it was horrible that:-ringtones were either too loud or too soft-battery dies out quickly-extra money for certain things that you should get for free-that the phone has a few tricks up their sleeves....I don't want to sound mean, but there is stuff you should need to know. Be cautionous! | 0negative

Great headset, Excellent value
I researched many Bluetooth headsets, including the Tekkeon, for several months prior to my purchase. The Tekkeon replaced my older Jabra FreeSpeak that I had used for the previous 18 months. The battery life of the Jabra was suspect and it always failed at the worst times. The Tekkeon is more comfortable and lighter, and the battery life has exceeded my expectations. It had no problem pairing with my Blackberry 7100t from T-mobile and has great range. The charger conveniently plugs directly into the headset. I don't use the over the ear clip and while it looks like the headset wouldn't stay in, it does very well. All the buttons are convenient and easy to use. This is an excellent headset.

Affordable Bluetooth that works great
Most affordable highly reviewed bluetooth headset I could find. Works better than I ever expected. Fits good, can sometimes slip off without the ear hook it comes with. Small so can be lost easily. Sound is great, sometimes other party has hard time hearing, so you have to speak up a little. Charge lasts long. Very happy with product. Definitely better than wired headsets that often tangle and break. | 1positive

Not very effective.
I have owned external antennas in the past with other phones and they have worked very well. I purchased this antenna because I recently purchased a new phone and needed a new antenna because I live in a dead spot.. The antenna made no difference. I can actually use my phone without the antenna, but the signal breaks up every few minutes, I thought that perhaps this would give it an extra boost, but sometimes I think it made it worse, I actually just went back to using my phone without the antenna. | 0negative

HATE IT
I absolutely hate this phone. Everyday it makes me want to throw it out my window. I switched to Cingular from Sprint in August strictly because most of the people I talk to have Cingular and I kept going over my minutes. So I didn't really like any of the phones they had in-store (I went to 3) and I didn't want the Razor and the guy told me that this was the best phone they had and it would definitely get better reception than the Razor. BULL. I am missing having Sprint with my beautiful tiny silver Samsung, I think it was the A670 (that Cingular does not have).1. The reception sucks, and it's not Cingular. My boyfriend and his sister both have Cingular, they live out in the sticks and they both get service just fine and I don't. He has a Nokia, she has the Razor.2. Half the time it says I have full service but it won't ring. So I miss most of my calls and txts cuz the stupid thing doesn't ring.3. You can't assign Ringtones to particular people! What the heck, this phone has an MP3 player but you can't assign ringtones, which I didn't realize 'till I already purchased 3. I called LG and they said you could only assign them to groups, which I did exactly how they told me to and I could never get it to work.4. My old phone had lights on the outside that would blink if you missed a call or a msg, and you could have the option of having it actually beep if you missed a call or a msg, this phone doesn't do that so I am constantly having to check it.5. It is really quiet, both the ring and the voice, and the speakerphone isn't that loud. By boyfriends 4 year old Motorola he had before his new Nokia had a way better speaker.6. It has the absolute worst battery life in the world. Sometimes I won't use it all day, I won't even open it, and the batter will be dead. What the heck is up with that?The only good thing I can say about it is that I like the big screen and the picture quality is really good. It would have been nice to not have to buy the cord to download the pictures separately though, the phone was nearly $200, they could have at least thrown the cord in, or at least the car charger, I had to buy that too, which was $30 and quit working about 3 months after having it.I would NOT recommend this phone to anyone, I don't know if it's LG or just the model but it is the cause of major frustration for me every single day! If I could give it zero stars I would have. | 0negative

One of the BEST Phones Out!
I would have to agree with the majority that this phone is absolutely excellent. I just love everything about it. It looks nice, it has an outstanding camera, plays music/videos, long battery life (to me), and it makes texting soooooo easy. I upgraded to this from the Lg VX8100, which was a music phone, and my only tiny tiny drawback is that the speakers on this phone plays music reasonably loud and yet when you put headphones/earpieces in, it's suddenly way too loud, but that's not a major problem when there's so much positive about the phone. I'd recommend it even for the person who doesn't text or take pictures. Very solid. Verizon has a winner now. | 1positive

Outstanding Headset
For years I've been using a Motorola HS850. After using the H800 with my company Blackberry 7130c there is an incredible performance difference. The range has extended to about 40 feet(specs say 30 feet), the volume is much better, and no one I speak to knows if I am driving. I believe half of the performance depends on the cell phone being used. I could not be more pleased. | 1positive

Not a bad deal!
For the ones who don't do a lot of talking, this is a good deal. They last 60 days, and the minutes rollover as long as you add more time within those 60 days! You can buy min. directly from thier website and get them instantly. If you're getting a new phone, you can get 100 minutes through the refferal program. E-Mail me at youngstev_2000@yahoo.com , I'll send over the link. | 1positive

Exactly what it supposed to do.
I've had my headset for almost a year now.I got it for the same price as you can get it today.....here(less than $120).I use them mainly for skateboarding, so they get put through the ringer. A fall from 12 stairs is not a good example of "careful handling", neither is the rather large quantities of sweat that they have to endure.I use them with my A2DP smartphone.I have used them with the adapter and my ipod, and I have used them wired on airplanes.The sound quality is good.The range is good.I don't have any cracks in the plastic.I don't have any charging issues, nor do I have battery life issues.My only complaints about this product are some design features.I don't like the left-right volume controls, they should be up and down.I also don't like the very large and conspicuous blue flashing light on the side. I look like a fricken moron. These headphones are supposed to make me look cool like James Bond.Minor complaints for a near perfect product. | 1positive

Great buy!
My previous camera case was a pouch with string shoulder strap that comes with the camera I bought. I stopped using it because I don't like the style. I was looking for a nice leather pouch that can be strapped to my waist or belt. I found this item here in Amazon and I'm very satisfied with it. One of my concern is to protect the 3" screen of my camera from scratches. I can say that this pouch was able to do the job. Did I mention that this item has a reasonable price? | 1positive

Really, really uncomfortable and quite heavy
I ordered the Plantronics Voyager 510 based on the positive reviews, with the knowledge that there were some critics as well. When I received it I was shocked to realize that this has to be the most uncomfortable bluetooth I have ever used. I used it for about 10 minutes before making the decision to return it. It was truly unwearable.Much more comfortable is the bluetooth that I purchased as a replacement:Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth Headset. | 0negative

Cheaper than a new radio with a CD player
I am using this item with my Sansa Fuze in a Ford F-150 and it works great. We live in a large metro city and haven't had any other stations "bleed-in." Volume on either the MP3 player or the truck radio must be turned up in order to experience optimum sound. Was considering replacing the truck's radio prior to buying this product, but that's no longer necessary. | 1positive

Good for free
I got this phone free through an offer by Cingular. I've never had any real problems with this phone. I always wanted a camera phone and this does exactly what I need it to do. The phone felt light and flemsy so I bought a cover for it, and it feels a lot more solid now. It's been dropped almost every other day since I bought it four months ago and it's still going strong. The only things I don't like about this phone are that it doesn't have a very good memory and the external speaker could be louder; however, if I know I'm going to be in a loud area, the standard "continental" ringtone does the trick fine. My reception almost always shows 2-3 bars, but it sounds just as good as 5 bars anyway. I do have some dropped calls in the break room at my work and in the middle of nowhere. I must admit that I can't wait until I'm eligible for a phone upgrade because there's so many better phones out there. I mostly want one that has *a lot* more memory and that can capture video, not to mention one with a louder speaker. As an entry level phone, I think it goes up and above the call of duty. | 1positive

Pairs perfectly with the iPhone
Yeah, it's bulky. Yeah, it is slightly noisy on the other end if there is a breeze or the interior of the car if you're on the freeway, but what kind of a headset is going to do well in those circumstances? Maybe if you spend $100? I don't know. For $40 this thing is great. If I turn it on and use the iPhone to make a call, the phone gives me an option to use the headset or the phone mic. Just tap "headset" on the screen and you're ready to go. Couldn't be easier. | 1positive

Useful, but not as durable as claimed
These are the best way to carry a phone I've found. However, I'm on my third clip. The rivet is of softer metals, so you WILL go through these. Fortunately, they're cheap, and sometimes covered by warantee. They ARE much better than the leather cases, which I've also tried. | 1positive

Not Good
I purchased this battery after reading both the positive and negative reviews. Some are happy with the battery, and others are not. I'm one of those who are unhappy with the purchase. The performance of the battery was about the same as my old battery or even worse. I ordered it through the seller with the highest feedback rating so shipping was fast, but unfortunately the product was not good. It's silly to worry about the performance of the battery which is supposed to be new. My battery died in 10 minutes or so with the purchased battery when I talked on the phone. I went to a local VerizonWireless store and purchased a new one, and it's great. It's like having a new cell phone again. | 0negative

Okay headset
I bought this to do speech to text on my pc. It works great for that, good range, noise cancelling, decent audio, though I think it is hard to put on. Then my Motorola HS820 died, and have been using it with my (Motorola) phone. Lousy battery life - it never seems to have a low power mode - requiring charging after 2 days when not in use, drops the link to the phone, connects at odd times after it drops, and it seems also to turn off randomly.I suspect it would work better with a Nokia phone, but doesn't with my V710. Conversely, it works great for dictation, hence the 4 star rating. | 1positive

Bad quality control and customer service from Aliph Jawbone
The Jawbone bluetooth headset is not really made very well and is a lot worse than people seem to give it credit for. Parts fall off after a short time and it is very cheaply made. It looks metal but really is cheap bendy plastic material.Further, once you set it up, you can only use it on one ear. Other headsets (like Plantronics ones for example) allow you to swivel the earloop to switch ears if you get tired of using it on one ear. The Jawbone doesn't do this.While the Jawbone's noise cancellation does seem good that's about all it has going for it because your voice still sounds muffled, soft and digital-like. Further, the Jawbone is too big and bulky to comfortably put it into a pocket to take with you.But my main complaint is with the Aliph Jawbone company customer service itself-they are absolutely horrible. They advertise on their website that the Jawbone has a 1 year manufacture warranty to the end consumer. But, my Jawbone broke and when I contacted them about getting warranty service on it, they rudely informed me that they only provide warranties on units bought directly from their own website. If I bought from some other retailer, it has ZERO warranty! I'm not sure whether or not this is even legal, but do believe it reflects very poorly on the company that they don't even stand behind their own products.I would never recommend buying this headset or any other made by Aliph. | 0negative

Short Battery Life
I purchased this battery as a replacement for the 2yr old battery that came with my phone. My old battery would not hold a charge anymore, so I wanted a new one. The new one proved to be just as bad. I don't think it's a problem with this vendor but a problem with the manufacturer instead. Would not recommend ordering this if you're looking to replace an old one. | 0negative

A few things
I own this phone and have had it now for a few months.1. I found the software to be fine. All I really use it for is to upload music and to download photos to my computer(which contrary to what another reviewer said is quite possible hint: drag and drop). I got the software for free from the Samsung website. So maybe we have different software.2. The call volume. I was worried most about this because it was a common complaint. Yes its a little low but its not as bad a people are making it out to be.3. The music player is ok. Songs need to be 192kbps or less not solely 192 like someone stated. No it doesn't have a standard headphone jack but you can get an adaptor which will make it accept standard headphones and therefore probably allow you to play songs through your stereo.4. Until they figure out how to put optical zoom into a phone its camera will never be a stand alone device so don't expect it to be one.5. I dont have the reception problems that some people have expressed in my area however you can always buy an antenna booster.6. Yes the keypad is slippery. When you dial or text with the phone open keys 1,2 and 3 are right against the bottom of the upper portion of the phone. Tight but livable. | 1positive

Pleasantly suprised
I recently purchased this item in large part due to the reviews that were written for it. But I was still a bit skeptical...am I glad I did get it.

Definitely encourage you to purchase this...you won't regret it. | 1positive

Innovative, hard to learn, but very secure
I've had a Startac since 1998. If the StarTac clip can be considered ideal: secure, quick to holster, unholster, and easy to learn to use, the V60 base clip is a stinker. However, all is not lost.Most concerning though, the V60 handbook mentions that the phone should be 1 ? inch away from the body to minimize RF exposure hazard. One reason, I guess, the phone sits a bit far from the clip.Without modifications, you can un/clip this phone quick and snappy with one hand. Here's a sample wearing the phone on your left hip.Clip the phone on your belt. The antennae is best perpendicular to your body's long axis: i.e., the antennae faces forward. Grip the phone in your fist. Put the thumb on the top release, the antennae should be above your thumb. Push the clip FIRMLY with your thumb. To replace the phone, place the rear [charger end] into the holster first, then snap the top into place.The clip feels very secure, more secure than the Startac but at what price! That 'firm' push I mention will leave your thumb a bit sore if done repeatedly and if the plastic doesn't soft a bit with age.If they didn't stop making the Startac and if the V60 weren't as close to the Startac in design and function, I wouldn't get this phone or its accessories. Who cares about black jack, Web surfing etc., on a form factor this small? Selectable ringer tones? Why pay for those features if the phone doesn't receive and send voice messages with the fidelity we expect from the Startac?Well luckily, the V60 is a stellar performer, so my venerable and heavily damaged but working Startac is relegated to backup.However, it will be missed. | 1positive

Comfortable and Secure!
This is my third Voyager 510! (The dog munched on the first one, lost the second) I really love the way this thing is designed; probably the best available. The controls are easily accessed It feels totally secure, and . Other headsets just hang from a little clip and always need adjusting. This one wraps around your ear and hugs comfortably. A solid Plantronics product with a great price to boot. | 1positive

Quick and easy
I had an old Ipod i wanted to put rockbox on so I could listen to my FLAC files. After transferring all my music, I plugged in my headphones and had about 30 minutes of battery. I ordered one of these and after a few minutes I had a completely working Ipod again. Just make sure when you are opening the case to take your time. Its very easy to damage a wire or ribbon cable if you get too excited. | 1positive

Does not fit the L7C properly
This looks like it would be a really great screen protector, but it is too big for the L7C's screen. I'm going to use it anyway, but the top overlaps onto the phone. I think it will still stick OK, but it doesn't look as nice. | 0negative

Jawbone is a fairly effective device
I purchased the jawbone after reading a couple of good reviews in national magazines. I have owned 3 motorola and one Nokia headsets. After using it for about 5 weeks, I can say there are good and bad points. First the good: the sound I hear in the headset is sharp and basically without background noise. While some reviews said it was not loud enough, I find the volume to be fine. The headset is picked up by my motorola phone very quickly and flawlessly. It is clear to see when the headset is on and easy to see it shut off. The charge lasts a decent amount of time. I also like the tune it plays when my phone is on vibrate and it "rings". Now the not-so-good: The headset uses an odd proprietary charger connector. It works well, but I think that, should it break, I am screwed and will have no place else to go but to them to get a replacement. There is a rubber cover that "snaps" over the charger connection to the phone when you are not charging the phone. It is small and not particularly good at staying in place. I lost it within the first month, even though I knew it was not going to stay in place and made sure to keep my eye on it. I did not tell anyone I got it, and switch between my Motorola headset and the Jawbone, and have had no one tell me the sound was so different between the 2. I find the headset fits fairly well, but to receive a call, I press on the headset which, in turn, presses into my ear. Not painful, but a bit uncomfortable. Finally, when I press the button to end a call, I do not hear a disconnection sound as I have heard in all my other headsets. Would I buy it again? Well, I have no serious issues with it, and it works pretty well, but given my quest to get a great headset, I will continue my search! | 1positive

Worthless
The cover doesn't fit snug with the phone, the stitching broke after two weeks, and the release button is triggered from the bottom. it also falls off from the clip.Today it fell off in a parking lot, when i realized my phone was missing i retraced my steps and found it had been run over by a car.This is a poor quality product and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. | 0negative

Great case for the Katana DLX
This review is for the small Timbuk2 case. I love this case! The pink color is bright and doesn't match anything but my phone is pink and it doesn't disappear if placed around other things! There are neutral colors for those that prefer something not so obvious. I was worried about the velcro feature but everything seems to attach securely. The phone fits in just right. So many cases are too large. I can charge my phone at home or in the car with leaving it in the case. I have attached the case both to purse straps and a shoulder cord to a wallet. I can always hear the phone now and it is readily available for use. For the first time ever I have started using the alarm feature. It is loud enough through the case. Now I don't have to keep checking my watch in order to be on time to take/pickup my grandchildren from school even if I am out shopping. There is no thin strap to wear down nor clasp that unfastens. I really enjoy using it. | 1positive

Not a good case
I have the Krussel setup for my Razr,including the car adapter which works very well. After I the Blackberry, I wanted to use the same setup for my belt and car. The belt clip is fine, but the case fit on the Blackberry is poor. It is too thick on the sides, such that you cannot get to the buttons easily, especially the thumbwheel. The screen also faces outward, rather than inward for maximum protection, so it's more prone to getting hit or scratched.I would not recommend this case to anyone and wished I would have saved the packaging, so that I could get a refund. As it was a waste of money.Do not purchase this particular case. | 0negative

Tiny Keyboard for PDA
It always worries me when devices like this are still being sold at retail, while third party sellers are able to sell them for under what wholesale would seem to be for the stated retail price. Usually this reflects a liquidation by the manufacturer. But sometimes that allows you to try a gadget that you otherwise might not be able to afford. And if you need the gadget for its originally designed purpose, it may well be just what you want, despite being obsolescent. It is pure speculation on my part, but I believe that the market need now requires F1-F12 keys and this device does not have them.I've considered PDA keyboards before but they always impressed me as flimsy junk, not possibly able to stand up to the rigors of travel or even more than occasional use. This one is different - I believe that if I put it in its little paddded bag it could go into my black bag and come out after 6 trips, two weeka later, in the same shape, ready to go when I needed it. The aluminum construction seems as solid as it poaaibly can for a folding device.When I look at the support forums for the device on the manufacturer's web site, I see that people are asking about support for portable windows devices. This keyboard has no traditional windows function keys (originally F1-F10, now (and for many years) F1-F12) [Sidebar: Why 12? Because that is how many the IBM 3270, a special purpose mainframe terminal used by the designers had] and without those you probably can't use it effectively with windows. I paired it with my laptop, and I was able to use it as a keyboard, without special drivers. Probably, with a great free program called anyhotkey I could get it to simulate the sending of pfks using extra non-momentary shifts, but why? A wireless or wired full sized keyboard is what you need on a system like this.I had no trouble getting used to left (blue) function shifting for numbers and right (green) function shifting for top line punctuation, although I wish the silk screening had been against an ivory background and not the gunmetal grey one. While it might be possible for a driver to use multiple shifts to simulate F1-F12, what then about shifted keys? If the shift to get F4 includes a chord with the alt key, how would you then type alt-F4? The only possible way I could see was if this was something that you got by pushing both blue and green shifts and the top line, but if you then accidentally hit cntl, you'd put the keyboard into pairing mode.So I believe that they are, as I write this, available at a great price for their intended market - Palm PDAs, Some Smartphones, and such. But not having function keys limits this keyboard's future, specifically Windows Mobile devices that can be used with a full Bluetooth keyboard won't be fully functional when you use this device as a keyboard.One other thing that I did was to try it with my PS3. Works great, and the PS3 does not use F1-F12, so this is probably the perfect occasional use keyboard for the PS3 - you can text with it, or type addresses if you are surfing, or use it for naming things without having to have a full sized keyboard wired to the PS3 (or a full sized bluetooth keyboard taking up space). Nothing special, I just paired it and then typed the number the PS3 gave me on its screen.My main use for this is as a keyboard formy Palm T|X. I downloaded the drivers and synced the T|X. I then went through setting up a secure connection. The only thing that I do not like (and I am not sure what to do about it) is that whenever I want to use the keyboard, I can't just open it up and start using it. I have to open it, go to applications, start the keyboard application, go into bluetooth configuration, tell it to connect, dismiss the warning that the keyboard has to be paired in the device list, and then do the cntl-greenFN-blueFN chord to make the keyboard discoverable. Then it connects and the keyboard works, and I can change to another application and the keyboard still works.This needs to be done often enough that I made an input area icon (the touchscreen areas that allow you to immediately bring up an application) start the keyboard app.I believe that this is an issue with the way the Palm OS works. Other systems don't seem to need this manual restart of the drivers.Once that is done, so long as the palm does not need to be reset, the keyboard will work as soon as it comes on - so long as you do not use another bluetooth device. According to the release notes, the Palm Bluetooth support can only talk to one device at a time. If the keyboard is unused, it will power down after a couple minutes. But when you touch a key, it will resume communications immediately, without going through the menu. No, it is not a full sized keyboard, and there are some compromises, but it has a really good feel, even compared to many full sized keyboards I own.When one opens the keyboard, the first thing to do is to extend the palmtop support. The little arm that the palmtop rests on is spring loaded, and pops past a stop - if you like it at that first stop, be careful to block the rest with your thumb. There is a release on one side to open the keyboard, a release on the top that holds the keyboard open and which needs to be released when you want to close it. Just go slow.There is a single feedback light. Off? Keyboard is not connected. Fast blink? Keyboard is ready to connect. Slow blink? Keyboard is connected. Red? Low battery.Simple, easy to use, and works well. This is not a PC keyboard, and it is not a heavy stationary keyboard. For what it is sold for, it is best of breed. | 1positive

AWESOME, BETTER THAN RAZR!!!
I got this phone back in April 2007 because I had to downgrade from the Palm (BTW, loved the palm) but for financial reasons downgraded so I got the chocolate because I did not want to keep my old razr. I've had since then and the only time I had to switch was 2 weeks after having the phone. Verizon gave me a brand new strawberry chocolate instead of the red cuz I asked. I don't know how other's automatically calls because it's locked. But I do recommend a case for it because it does scratch easily. When I had the cherry I threw it in my purse and took it out not more than an hour later and it had a nice little scratch from my keys. I have a case now and I have no complaints on this phone. Most definitely satisfied with my phone. | 1positive

Great Phone - Highly Recommend
This cell phone works great and a has great features that work the way you would expect. When I decided to upgrade from my Nokia 3560 (which was the best phone I ever had - always strong sound qualtiy and great battery life - which are the two most important qualities for me)I went with the NEC 525. I was generally happey with that phone, but the signal strength was weak. I decided to try another phone, because signal strength is sometimes dependent on the phone. Even though it was more money yet, I went with the V600. It does indeed get a much better signal. The battery life is fairly good - not quite as good as my Nokia, but I didn't have a camera and mMode on it so there wasn't as much of a draw. The speaker phone is very good and handy. The camera quality is the best I have seen on a phone. I haven't yet got a wireless earpeice, but look forward to putting the bluetooth applications throught he paces. | 1positive

Poorly Built.
Worked for about a year. Was a nice headset phone, small & easy to use. But then the dial pad hinge broke rendering it useless because you could no longer charge it. Very poor construction. Buying this phone turned out to be a very expensive mistake on our part. Look elsewhere, at anything but this. | 0negative

iSling is great
For years Ive enjoyed using a similar style bag to carry small amounts of belongings whether to and from work, on vacation, for the gym, and a plethora of various uses. I used a similar smaller old navy shoulder sling for about 7 years being unable to find a suitable comfortable replacement of small yet functional size, until this one. I feel many similar style slings & packs look somewhat feminine in style & design, but this one is very gender neutral.- Quite durable material- Very comfortable shoulder strap & back padding with breathable material that does not feel warm.- 2 pockets are very convenient and open very wide- The 3rd shoulder strap pocket is conveniently located. Ive hardly used it but it can be very useful when need be.You cant beat the price of $25 shipped on Amazon compared to the $40-$50 is retails for. Ive been using it for about a month so far and have just one slight design complaint. Otherwise, its a 5 star item.- The adjustable strap, when fully shortened, has the additional slack hanging in an awkward fashion that can get caught up easily on your arm or perhaps a nearby object. But Only someone very short and small would be able to wear it at its shortest level. I'm very anal, so this is a far stretch that most people would likely not realize. | 1positive

Very poor battery life
Two things about this cell phone that made me decide to go back to my old phone: (1) It gets hot after a short phone conversation; (2) The battery only lasts two days even when I don't make any phone calls. It is even worse than my old cell phone which I have used for two years.I am very disappointed with this phone and trying to return it. | 0negative
