nice bluetooth headset
This Plantronics Voyager 510 works great. The reception is pretty good, I wished the volume control can be louder when I'm driving with the window down {minor detail). The only thing that can be improved on is that it hurts the inner ear a little after wearing it for awhile, even with the smallest of three ear pieces attached, but I would still recommend this item | 1positive

Not a original Motorola
Please don't buy this one. Its not an original motorola device. Its not worth for this money. If you want I can send the picture of the phone which I bought it. | 0negative

Overpriced
While this is a decent product that works well it is not worth the 500% markup. Look around. You can find this for under $25. | 0negative

Tracfone is great
Tracfone is a very simple pay as you go provider. There are no min fees like other pay as you go providers. Simply purchase your minutes and you are set. tracfone has many different phone card options available for the very heavy cell phone user to people who use thier phones as merely emergency phones. now tracfone has came out with phones that are single rate phones. which means that for a single rate you get your local, long distance and roaming calls. Unlike before where the long distance and roaming cost extra minutes. also on the single rate phones it is free to recieve as many text messages as you like. And instead of costing half a unit to send it only cost .3 units. simply put tracfone is the best provider for pay as you go. and now when you sign up you have a chance to get a free 100 minutes on your phone when you activate your phone. Just send me a email to "tracfoneisgreat@yahoo.com" when you are ready to activate your phone and i will send you a referral that will enable you to recieve a free 100 units. | 1positive

Not the greatest
This was my second time buying this earpiece because the first one got destroyed. My second time around wasn't all that good with it (neither was the first). It was one of the first bluetooth earpieces and I'm sure the quality has improved with the newer ones.This earpiece creates noise in the background and sometimes the person on the other end can't hear me all that well. It's very convenenient, but I'm ready to get a newer product. I wouldn't recommend this earpiece to anyone. It's just.. not that great. | 0negative

It Has Potential But the Cons Overshadow the Pros
This phone would be great if it did not have so many problems. It has so many cool features, people love my phone, but sometimes I want to throw it out the window. My brother has the same phone and he wants to get rid of it just as much as I do. This is my third s710a and they all had the same problems:Pros- Nice big screen.- 1.3 MP camera, good picture quality in light environments as long as the subjects of the pictures are not moving.- It plays MP3s.- It has an external card to connect easily to a computer (transfers pictures and sounds or songs).- I use my camera flash as a flashlight (it's that bright).- You can turn off the shutter sound on the updated version of the phones.Cons- Holy freakin' slow. I push menu and most of the time it takes 5-10 seconds for the menu to come up. Sometimes (but very rarely) it's instantly.- Bad picture quality in dark environments (but it's not a real digital camera, so you can't expect it to be).- You cannot turn speakerphone on until you are already in the call. It just bothers me that I have to wait for someone to answer before I can turn speakerphone on).- Some software problems (especially the Notes program).- Menu icons occasionally disappear.- A number of dropped calls (I hate that).- People cannot hear me but I can hear them.- I press call and sometimes it just will not call.I originally gave this phone 3 stars, but while I was listing the cons, I realized how many problems it has, and that it only deserves 2 stars. The phone would have received 4 or 5 if it was fast and I didn't lose so many calls. | 0negative

one of the best phone in the market
camera. speaker phone. stereo FM radio. two places you can plug in headsets. can store 400 phone numbers. email, internet. a lot more...Don't even listening to other viewers' words. Go do your own research.it gets great signals. I had a samsung, i will not waste my money on that brand. Made in Korea, do they make good stuff? Go figure. Nokia company is from enrope. If you go to asia and europe, the majority of the cell phones you will see on the street is Nokia. Only stupid "Bush controled" the country use damn samsung and LG etc.Take a look at those who gave bad reviews, they are from the midwest, southern states. Freaking farmers and corn eater. Just like those who voted for Bush.wake up "brainwashed bush controled" people. Get out side the box. | 1positive

Decent and functional
As mentioned before, the magnet isn't the best, but it does hold the phone well enough. This is the same as the Motorola Q Business Case with Built in Belt Clip also advertised on Amazon. | 1positive

Good sound quality for the money
I have used the Plantronics Voyager 510 BT headset for over a month and can say I am very pleased with the sound quality--both outgoing and incoming--it sounds like I'm right beside the person with whom I am talking. I often use it outdoors, in the car, and in the house and so far it performs quite well in all those areas. I get the best results when I have my cell phone on me or am within 10 feet of my phone. If I get out of range when NOT talking on it, it will beep to let me know and beep again a different tone when I re-enter the accepted range (approx. 30 feet). When I AM talking on it, the static will increase until I get back within that 10 feet or so. Since I live in a poor reception area, I usually need to set my cell phone in an area where I can pick up a signal, and the Voyager 510 allows me answer away from the phone--at least until I can get to closer range for best reception.My biggest objection to the headset, and I guess it is minor--I don't like the flashing blue light that tell me it is on. I have it SET to NOT flash, but if I get outside of range (>30 feet or so) when I am NOT talking on it and then re-enter range, it will start flashing again--if I stay out of range too long (more than a few seconds). I can't see the flash but others can--and I sometimes forget to check it for flashing--and end up looking like a Christmas tree. To put it back into its non-flash mode again, I find I have to turn it off and then turn it back on again. If anyone knows how to deal with this quirk I would appreciate knowing how.It is fairly comfortable to wear, and I am glad it came with 3 ear piece options to see which fits the best, as I did have to try all three to get a comfortable fit--and at times even forget I am wearing it. I don't talk on it constantly, so have had no problems with battery life so far. It recharges fairly quickly--maybe within 1 1/2 hours?? I researched and read hundreds of reviews before deciding on this Voyager 510 BT headset, and feel for its relatively inexpensive cost it does a more than decent job. | 1positive

Still confused
I bought this for my motorola w376g. The cable fit into the phone, which was a relief. But the software wasn't detecting my phone, and after a while it brought up a list of phone models to choose from. Nothing even close came up! I mainly bought this for ringtones from CDS and transferring pictures. I say just get ringtones online if your phone has a web browser, and email your phone's pictures to yourself if it has a web browser. Maybe someday I'll figure this software out. | 0negative

Nokia N95 - It works
The iGo keyboard works with the N95. However, because of the terrible instructions provided by Storaway it took me seven long days to get it paired, I almost sent it back. The secert is to go to Office on theN95. Than, go th Wiss.keyboard. To pair you will have to enter a code, and press OK on the phone. Than go to the keyboard press, and hold down the FN key while you enter the same code as used on the N95. Press enter, and your in business.The keyboard is great, However, I still don't know what all the keys are for because, no instructions are provided by Storaway. Hence, 4 stars instead of 5. | 1positive

After modification works fine.
I was disappointed that I had to modify the handset in order to make it work with my phone (Polycom IP 650). My phone sits at a 45 angle (not adjustable) and the unit would lift the handset OK but the handset would always slide off the cradle when it tried to hang back up. I marked the handset just above where the lifter contacted the handset, drilled a small hole and inserted a short push pin to keep the handset from slipping, now it works just fine. | 1positive

Love the cell phone cover! The bottom fits very snug, but the top slides more than I think it should. | 1positive

very good for low cost ATT LG Shine chargers
Hardware, although a little flimsy feeling, all works as it should. The car charger is a little loose when plugged in phone, but not too bad. AC charger is fine. Drivers for ATT LG shine not included. I was able to download some drivers from LG along with bitpim to get some connectivity between windows and the phone, but not 100%. So I use the usb cable more for charging than for phone setup or data transfer. All in all, would definitely buy again, very good price. | 1positive

nice headset
This headset is small and comfortable. Works well except when it is windy out. I use it both with my cell and laptop (for skype) with no problem. There are a lot of fakes for sale out there, so make sure you buy it from a reputable retailer like Amazon. | 1positive

Good features but some misses:
I edited my previous review and starts with recently added review:Beware, There is no valid warranty for this phone if bought in USA. So there is no use of registering the product also. I contacted the Motorola customer service, and they replied (after a month) that this phone is not eligible for US warranty.Everything below is what I wrote before:This phone is packed with a lot of features and certainly meets various user expectations. But some of the things I found in my phone are not pleasing:1) Low Battery life, 2) Low volume (when calling/talking), and peculiarly regular/normal voice level when alarm or ring-tones and click-tones like when you navigate).Other than that, I noticed that the first time, you switch it on (after opening package), everything we see is Chinese and I had to search the web for some instructions to choose blindly some unknown letters on the screen to convert the language from Chinese to English - and a great relief.Lastly, I don't see any software updates -- probably the phone is sent with the latest software tool.So it covers most of what we want. A good buy if you already bought, and if you are thinking of buying, compare battery life and volume of other phones with this.Regards,Sooner | 1positive

Would look at somthing else
The constant hissing, echo and background noise made it almost impossible to carry on a conversation. If there were any kind ambient noise on the other end, it would completely overpower the other person's voice. I would end up shutting the headset and talking directly into the phone.I had this product for a week and sent it back | 0negative

Works great!
Works great! though they overstate the transmission distance a bit. Maximum signal retransmission distance is six feet. In other words if it recieves six bars outside it will transmit six bars only six feet inside. From there out the signal deminishes rapidly. The one directional antenna they sell for this repeater is useful too if the signal strength recieved by the omni directional antenna is insufficient. I have had it a year and it still works fine. And they do have customer service though you may need to press for a knowledgable tech over one that just knows the basics. | 1positive

Do you want to buy headache, buy this!!
I was looking for something that is compact and PDA phone, web access together. Had cell phone and ipaq and it occupied both my pockets.So go for the best, I thought! Trusted on the Palm name and put over 500 buck; little that I know I was purchasing a nightmare.Palm has clearly failed. They tried to build a spaceship and landed up building car,ship, plane combined that doesn't work. When I use this phone, I feel anyone can manufacture a product, ask customers to test for themselves andthen charge them a hell lotta money. Let me clarify with my experiencesThe phone has small screen not so good browsing web but that is something you don't blame them. Here is a list to blame them1. The phone hangs a lot of times and you never know its dead. I get people telling that you don't answer your cell. To reset it, you have to open back cover. Wow, you are driving and wanna make call, do you want to open cover take out battery?2. The phone memory is 64mb. give me a break, with ram only 25 mb. most of the time with minimum applications you see only 1 or 2 mb left.3. For basic stuff its ok, but people taking half grand phone expect more and to setup that is nightmare. I spend countless hours with tech support for sync problems, email setup, vpn (never worked)4. Unfortunately I believed that phone does what is says and I tried syncing with lotus notes at office. My IT helped me but somehow it writes some long logs who knows why?5. The MS voice command is not reliable. Sometimes works sometimes doesn't.6. As I said before there are many factors combines here so at tech support microsoft, varizon and palm point to each other saying 'we are ok, its theeem'..7. I have to say for most part, I got good support quicky and some support analysts indirectly agreed that this product has issues. But how do you explain that there are things not in the manual that you need to do.8. The nevobackup does not work unless you reinstall everything again.8. This tops it all - at the end of month,my 700w showed over half memory full and took a long time to sync even though I had a very few applications/information stored(you guessed correctly, I took my old ipaq out). So after trying few things with varizon, they transferred me to palm. This person was fast; immediatly he asked me to go to windows/temp and asked me to delete all files there -over 2400.I asked him why the files are not automatically deleting? He goes 'its your responsibility to delete it'. 'Where is it written? in the user manual/website?'. 'No sir, you can call us and we'll tell you that'. It took long time to delete them. So I summerize that if you dont call you'll never know how your memory and speed die out.I can go on with specific problems, but in short, be careful! | 0negative

Battery slot didn't work
I bought this because my treo has problems charging -- nearly every time I plug it in, the light goes from red to green right away and it stops charging. The battery has actually run down entirely while plugged in. So I got an extra battery and this charger, in the hopes that I could charge one battery while using the other. The cradle actually worked better for charging the phone than the charger that came with the phone, though it still has the same problem. However, the slot for charging the battery simply did not work (and that was the main thing for which I wanted this item). I did have the cradle plugged into the USB port, and I did have the other line plugged into the wall. I took the thing apart to see if there were any loose wires, but I couldn't find any; the solder connections all looked solid, and the wires were all in place. It seems to have worked for other people, but the one I got was a piece of junk. | 0negative

excellent
i got this headset as a christmas gift in 2006...and i figured its about time i write something about it...this headset is the best ive ever come across...the noise shield is outstandingly amazing...i usually have my car stereo turned up quite loud, and whether its winter or summer...i almost always have my windows down...and in the winter the heat on as well...and even with all that going on...esp with my friends making tons of noise...i have yet to have anyone ask what the noise is in tha background... it works just like in the advertisement commercial online...i also like it because its not overly lite and its sturdy...when i got this headset...as far as i know it was the most expensive on the market...now i see the price has dropped and i would tell anyone in the market to buy this | 1positive

Insight on Upgrading to Family Plan and Number Porting
Amazon does not offer family plans, and the number porting process is relatively new, so I want to share my experience with these processes (based on the instructions from this website), in addition to the phone itself.Got my phone a week ago from Amazon, with the intent to upgrade to a T-Mobile family plan and port my old number (both these have to be done directly with T-Mobile, not Amazon). The new phone arrived earlier than Amazon predicted, activated with a new number.I went to a local TMo store to do my intened changes, as outlined by Amazon. I already have another T-Mo phone, and the family plan upgrade was a breeze: the rep called it in and when I checked online my plan was indeed changed.The porting part was more tricky; they told me up to 7 days to change my number from AT&T.; Two days later my account with ATT was terminated, but still not active on TMo. After being on hold 30 minutes with TMo, I was told "if you're porting a number to replace an existing number (which I was), it's not done automatically -- you have to call it in a we manually do it." Good thing I persevered on hold; within minutes I got a text msg saying it's done.The fun part now is waiting for the rebates to be processed. With the changes I made, my plan and phone number now don't match up with my purchase, even though it's all legit. You know how they're sticklers for detail for these rebates.With the phone itself, I'm happy with it and its features. Call clarity on my AT&T; TDMA Nokia 8265 was better, however. I do hear the voice hum and amplified ambient noise as others have indicated. Reception is too sensitive: I move the phone a few inches and the bars go from full down to 1. But I guess I'm not as picky as other reviewers; I'll live with the minor phone drawbacks to save money on the monthly plan fees.After a year on this contract, I'll be on the prowl for better service as the competition heats up. | 1positive

Awesome phone.......
Well getting the phone for $119 with amazon rebates is just great!... I am very impressed with the phone and its capabilities..To get the most out of this phone, you will need:1) To backup and edit images,calender,ringtones:* USB Data cable and software, check here on amazon for the susteen usb data package, its like $452) to store movies,mp3 and also pictures:* miniSD card (up to 1GB - check ebay for deals)(...) | 1positive

Stupid headset
Dosen't even stand for 15 minutes. Need to have a separate charger for the mobile and headset, trickier marketting strategy, but no good to buyer, 2 chargers @ car and 2 chargers @ home. Razar family looks sexy just like Microsoft windows, but no good brain. I wish Amazon should consider adding a "0" rating in the "How do you rate this item" drop down box. | 0negative

Impressed
I am an infrequent cell phone user so after a year of not having a cell phone, I decided to take the plunge yet again. After a lot of research I decided to get this Samsung phone. When I received it, I was very pleasantly surprised. The phone was much smaller than the picture indicates, it fits in my jeans pocket with no problem! So far, I've had it about a week and the phone is pretty clear, no problems connecting. I've even downloaded some free ring tones. So far very happy, no-frills service, I received the phone, turned it on and was ready to make calls immediately. | 1positive

Great initially, so-so after some use, worthless after service
After a great experience with a Sony Ericsson T616 (which after three years and two owners is still going strong), I wanted to stay with the brand. The newest of their phones through Cingular at the time was the S710a, so this phone seemed like a no-brainer.The amazing Sony Ericsson user interface and address book had remained unchanged, except for their newly added strengths and reduced weaknesses. The Bluetooth was as fully-featured as ever, working perectly with my Mac computer and Parrot handsfree car kit. Reception was excellent, even in some of our "thin" coverage areas here. I heartily welcomed EDGE as well as MP3 ringtones, both absent from the T616. The earpiece and speakerphone each delivered clear, loud sound. The display simply stunned me with its brilliance.After a few months of use, the above positives were overwhelmed by the negatives. First, there are its physical flaws. The phone lacks the solid, tactile of Motorola phones; though heavy, the S710a feels cheap. This is a heavy phone, though, and extremely large, too: too large to fit in hardly any available carrying cases, let alone one's pocket. The flatness of its front surface makes it uncomfortable for talking, and the poorly positioned microphone hole will likely muffle your words. The "swivel" form factor, through initially novel, is in reality clumsy and impractical - what's the point of stowing the keypad when additional keys remain exposed, and must still be locked?Second, several serious usability flaws arose. The Bluetooth on this phone is UNSTABLE. It will randomly disconnect a connected headset, be it a Sony Ericsson one or one from a 3rd party. It will also remain "connected" even after the headset is switched off! The UI is randomly slow and unresponsive, even after two firmware updates. The slow UI also impacts the camera, which "refreshes" agonizingly slowly. So slowly, that the slightest movement of either the phone or the subject of your picture will result in worthlessly blurry pictures. The phone's physical design has been compromised for the 1.3MP camera - if the camera is useless, so is the phone's design. To add to the irony, one of the few ways to improve the picture quality is to reduce the resolution from 1.3MP to VGA - even a RAZR takes better pictures at that point.Finally, Sony Ericsson service is useless. After too many Bluetooth problems, as well as a random, fluctuation in the earpiece volume, I sent my unlocked, unbranded S710a to Sony Ericsson for service. It came back damaged in transit (due to poor packaging from Sony Ericsson!), LOCKED and BRANDED to Cingular, with the same earpiece problem, and even more unstable Bluetooth! In the month it took Sony Ericsson to decide what to do, I bought a Motorola RAZR V3i, and couldn't be happier.The days of the T616 are over. Sony Ericsson's new phones are high on promise, low on execution. | 0negative

Verizon/Casio G'zone
I was looking for a durable flip phone sans the superfluous frills which I never use. I needed something reliable with excellent "send and receive" calling quality. This unit is larger and feels sturdier than most of its genre. Its relatively bigger buttons and and overall hefty profile were the first features that caught my eye. For an indiivudal like myself with larger hands that often holds my phone in the neck-twisting, hands-free head/shoulder crunch mode, the extra size of this model is an asset. I don't have a case and keep the phone in my pants pocket. So far it has endured this manner of travel. Good bi-directional audio quality and a nice loud ring which I prefer. One drawback...forget about the reading the screen in direct sunlight. The interface is Verizon Du Jour and if you like toying with extra features there's plenty to keep you busy. Barring the screen issue this is a phone I highly recommend. | 1positive

Works for me!
I needed a car charger for my Nokia phone but did not want to pay [$$$] for one at the celluar stores.

Feature-rich but poor audio
Yes, this phone is good in almost everyway except the main thing I bought it for: talking/listening. The speaker sounds distorted and muffled -- much worse than my 3-year-old LG 5250. I'm considering returning or exchanging the VM-A680. | 0negative

Best bluetooth headset?
The Voyager 510 is the best of all bluetooth and wired headsets I have tried. It beats even the well regarded etycom, shure quietspot, jabra c250 and bluetooth aliph jawbone headsets, all of which I own. The Voyager is clearly not the best looking headset, but the sound on both ends is excellent - loud, clear, and static-free. | 1positive

LG VX 6000 star performer
Have owned this model over one year.It is beautifully designed with TWO color displays...a large display when the phone is open and a narrow color display on cover when clam shell top is closed.All functions are intuitive and easy to learn....Manuel is well written and easy to use.Only limitation is that the number of voice activated numbers is too few...about nine...you should be able to buy this at a very favorable price as there is now a new version the VX6100. | 1positive

The Snap Broke Within 2 Weeks
I bought 2 of these - 1 for me and 1 for a friend. The snap just broke off the strap piece. It was some cheap VERY thin metal (aluminum foil-like) used to secure the snap piece to the strap. I called my friend and he said his broke after just a couple of days. I like it, but will take it into a luggage repair place to see if they can put on a REAL snap! If not, I'll return it and try to find a nice leather one with an actual belt clip. | 0negative

A quality headset
The sound quality on the Sennheiser MM50 is crisp and clear. You can hear even the subtle sounds that add real depth to your music.The ear pieces fit comfortably in the ear. With the three different sizes provided, it's easy to find the one that fits best.The call quality is great as well. The people I called said I was coming through loud and clear. The inline microphone could use a little more cable length between the mic and the earpiece on the left side. If not clipped up high on your collar it can pull a little as you turn your head. It's not really a big deal though.The system works well with my Blackberry 8830. The 90 degree connector fits and works well, even while the holster.I have even used this while cutting the lawn. The design of the earpiece did a good job of blocking the noise, and providing a good listening experience. I don't think you will be disappointed. | 1positive

Great Bluetooth for the hearing impaired too!
I purchased this unit after reading several of the reviews. I initially tried to use my Magellan Maestro 4250 as a bluetooth telephone device, however as with most other attempts, I could not hear the caller. This Parrot minikit is Fantastic! It pairs automatically whenever I get in the car and turn it on and turns off automatically when I get home and leave the garage.Sound quality is great and I can adjust the volume to the degree that I can hear very clearly. I recommend this item to anyone that wants a hands free bluetooth telephone device. Simple setup for the first time and after that, get in the car, turn it on hear the beep that signals it has connected, and talk away. | 1positive

Needs adapter
I ordered this for my son to be sent to him as birthday gift and I got the call that Dad had ordered the wrong thing. It does not fit the LG Chocolate without an adapter. I was very disappointed. My son did say that when he went to the Mall and got the adapter it sounded pretty good, its just that the its hard to keep the adapter plugged in. I wish the advertisement was accurate. | 0negative

LOVE this product!
This is such a great prodcut and I HIGHLY recommend it. I already had this exact bluetooth set and thought I lost it so I purchased another one. I found the original set and it turned on and worked perfectly after two months of not being used! I now have two sets and have never had a problem with either one. Great buy for the price! ps: the battery life is really good. I charge mine once a week! | 1positive

And these guys set the standard?!?!
Rather than write a typical review, I'll simply print my letter to RIM, the makers of Blackberry:I recently purchased a 7290. Today, I'm returning it...When a menu Option has only two choices (e.g., "confirm delete?: Yes, No") -- you have to click Confirm Delete, then click again, then click again to change the option, then click AGAIN to confirm it. Doesn't that seem awfully silly? Why not just a Yes/No toggle option?When I go into a memo and click the title of the memo, I shouldn't have to click it AGAIN to view it -- viewing should be the default.I need to specifiy a title for a memo? Just automatically utilize the first line as the title -- like the Palm does! save me some time rather than wasting it.Speed Dials are hard to get to. Let me say that again SPEED dials are not SPEEDY to get to.When scrolling on the menu page, i should be able to get to the VERY LAST icon by scrolling UPWARDS if I'm at the top, rather than spinning & spinning the wheel 3 or 4 times (this goes for all menus). This issue is terribly frustrating.There's no numeral pad on the screen -- so if i have to call a number that's like 310-Save-Lot, I'm scr_wed.If I'm on vibrate and several SMS messages come in, i can't tell if it's ringing or just alerting me to messages -- and nothing pops up on the screen to tell me.It's built solidly. The keyboard is nice and big (although too big to type with one hand [and I can palm a basketball]), and the screen is big and the battery life is great. But the navigation is so terribly UN-intuitive that I'm left feeling this thing is, simply, cr@p.My Treo 180, which is 4 or 5 years old is a much "smarter" device, with better navigation, and buttons and shrotcuts that are much more intuitive. The only thing you guys did better was the keyboard and the ease to input symbols. Everything else about this products is truly awful. | 0negative

Car charger broke after only a few uses
I received this combo pack a few months ago. I purchased it mainly for the car charger, and I probably used it 2-3 times per month. It felt a bit flimsy, but worked fine for a few times. Today, I pulled it out of the cigarette lighter, and the contact point had broken off from the rest of the charger. The plastic is in 4 little pieces now, so I cannot repair it. It was a great deal, but next time I would pay a bit more for something that is more substantial. I have not used the other items in this combo. | 0negative

Decent budget headset
I purchased one of these and kept it for two weeks.Pros: It works and has good call quality. The ear hook is adjustable, so you can form it to fit your ear, but...Cons: The adjustable ear hook is easily formable - put the headset in your pocket and when you take it out the ear hook has changed shape and now doesn't fit your ear so nicely. To turn it on and off (I saw a huge battery drain on my phone when it was constantly on), you need to press a button down for 3-5 sec. With my new headset, I just open or close the boom (Motorola 850). | 0negative

Keeps its charge for a long time
This is my second replacement battery for my cell phone. The last one didn't hold a charge very long even w/out using the phone. This battery holds a charge even when actually using it to talk. After a 4 hour phone call the battery still kept going for a couple more days w/out needing a charge. I am quite happy with this battery and that it doesn't need constant charging when in standby mode. | 1positive

Excellent purchase
After trying various bluetooth earpieces, I finally found one that has made me happy! The Plantronics Voyager 510 has proven to be a good purchase for me ... the big selling points for me were it's noise-canceling ability, good battery life, and the ability to be warn comfortably. The earpiece comes with 3 different sized foam ear inserts ... it took me a few days to figure out which one worked best for me. The unit is easy to pair with any phone or computer, and the documentation that comes with the earpiece is easy to read and understand. | 1positive

Great Product
Quality is great, I bought 2 one for my wife and one for myself. We have been using them for alomost 3 months and not a single problem. I like the light on the top because when I move it from one car to another it tells me if the lighter socket I am using turns off with the key or not.My wife did recently bend the end on hers (caught it in the power seat track) so I will be buying another. | 1positive

Terrible Quality
This phone was terrible from the start. The screen would flash in and out and it would freeze constantly. These clam shell phones are known for having problems with their screens. I will never buy a clamshell phone again. I ended up bying a cheap Chinese phone because I thought it would be better than this miserable phone, and it is. | 0negative

Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset Review
I have owned this product in the past and found it performance to be superior. It is light weight, full featured and affordable. I have limited in-house reception with my cell phone. By placing the cell phone at its optimal reception point and utilizing this Bluetooth headset I can have quality conversation throughout the house.Purchasing this unit as a replacement was made made affordable by the low prices and superior service on Amazon.com | 1positive

Good quality, not very comfortable
I haven't owned any Headsets before, so I don't have much to compare to. This headset is not comfortable enough for me to say that it is perfect. It might be that my ear is not big enough, but it falls out of my ear :)Sound and build quality seems to be good though. | 1positive

bluetooth
I used to have the Scala 500 and this is very simular. Light, doesn't move or flop around. It switches between phones which is a real plus if you carry more than one (personal and company). I cannot wear the "in the ear" type of earbud and this is perfect. | 1positive

Amazing cell phone
Many of my colleague use blackberry for emails but I give a try on this brand-new 3G/Wi-fi/camera equipped smartphone. The 3G and Wi-fi works very well in our area. It also worked very well in Europe after activation of the cellphone by Cingular customer service. E-mail and internet works very well in both locations. Addition of 1GB microSD chip actually solve many of the bluetooth file transfer issues, since I can simply stick the microSD card into regular SD cassette, and use a card reader and USB cable for file transfer from PC or Mac like other memory chips. The color calibration and default focus of the camera is very good and video is very good quality for the cameraphone. Again, 1GB allow you to take a very long video in Windows Media Player format. Installation of Good mail system automatically synchronize to Lotus Note emails, contacts, and calendar any time, any place, and automatically chime schedule notices. The only drawback are the battery life, which require frequent charges, slow keypad for phone calls (and I do not know how to silence the keypad), and a little tough keyboard touch. Lack of shift keys on both sides sometimes makes key typing difficult (especially shift+A !). In addition, Microsoft Word processing is slow, and so as Excel, which will require a faster chip. Overall, a great all-around pocket PC in this generation! | 1positive

Won't work with your home cordless phone
OK, it might work with some home phones, but not your basic cordless phone. That requires a different model. That was not clear to me until I had ordered the unit and tried to set it up. Had to return it. I use this at work with my fancy office phone, and it performs quite well. | 1positive

So so
I've got this headset when they just came out and were still expensive, but hardly ever use it. The sound quality is really bad, and controlling the volume seems impossible. I always have to test it first to make sure the volume is high enough. If I needed to use a headset more, I would definitely get a better one. | 0negative

Cheap-o
Classic case (get it? case? har har) of 'you get what you pay for'.Dint expect much from this guy for the price, but figured it better than no case at all. I was pretty much on the money with that prediction. Not much protection from this guy. If youre looking for something rough and tough that will keep your phone alive and well for years to come, this is not your case.The case is thin and flimsy. Kind of scary to put on, and my fears were rewarded when the case finally tore trying to put the thing on for the 20th or so time (doesnt fit in an iPod cradle with the case on)My advice is to skip this case entirely and get a real case if you want one. This thing is like wrapping tape around your phone (until it tears and becomes entirely useless) | 0negative

KRZR Battery.

Good reception, good range
I've tried a few different headsets (Jabra, Ericsson). This is by far the best reception and most convenient to use.Pros:- Good range.. I can place the phone on the kitchen counter and walk around freely up to about 30 feet from the phone and still get good reception.- Great battery life- Strong volume and clear reception.. transmission is another matter (see cons)- Very convenient to use. Once the headset is paired, it's the most convenient of all the headsets to use. When my phone rings, I simply flip open the mic boom. The headset connects to the phone and the phone passes the call to the headset in the time it takes me to bring it to my ear and hook it on. I chose this headset specifically for this feature based on previous experience with bluetooth headsets.Cons:- For the flip feature to work, you must keep your bluetooth radio on the phone activated. Although the phone will hibernate the bluetooth radio after a few minutes, it is essentially always on. This consumes battery life on the phone. However this issue remains regardless of the headset you use. If you keep bluetooth readily available on your phone, it will have to be "on".- Transmission (from earlier)... the biggest con for me is clarity on the transmit side. In a noisy environment (in a car with lots of road noise), the first syllable of your sentence will often cut out. It's as if it takes the headset's firmware half a breath to figure out that your are talking. I am not sure, but it may be related to noise cancellation functionality of the phone.- Tinny sounding.. but I get this feedback on all bluetooth I have tried. My listeners tell me that I sound tinny or metallic.- Update (24 June 2005): Something I have just encountered recently... the party with whom I converse tells me they hear an echo. This issue has come up only recently, but in reading another reviewers post, it appears that when the headset volume is increased to maximum there is feedback through the microphone. The other party is in essence hearing themselves speak. | 1positive

Not great
The stars are for the aesthetic and ergonomic of the design. As for functionality, this cable is a piece of junk. It only allows sound to one speaker, and the sound is trebly and buzzy. I could only bear to use it for a few minutes before throwing it away. As for the retractable feature.. it doesn't work that well, it jams and the cord does not protract very far. My advice would be to save up for a highly quality, way more functional cable. | 0negative

Software Issues, 'White screen of death ! '
Dont buy this crappy phone. Its just been 3 weeks since I started using it, and I get a 'white screen of death' every now & then. And then I have to reboot it to access it.Called T Mobile, and even though its less than 30 days, they'll still charge me 10 bucks for shipping (to replace with a refurbished one). Thats fine but what if the new phone also has the same (or new) issues.The best thing to overcome this problem is not to buy this phone. Samsung is the best cell phone company. | 0negative

Well made cable
If you want to put stuff on your Sony Ericsson phone via your computer, this is right cable. First of all, it's much cheaper than the official one. Because of that, I wasn't expecting much, but when I received it, I was surprised at how well made the cable is. The cable is fairly thick, and whether it's the wire itself or just the shielding, it won't break easily. Once I finally hooked it up, I had no problems with my computer picking up the phone after getting into USB mode. Of course, finding the right mode on the phone to be able to transfer content was a different story. Anyway, I used it a few times and haven't had any problems with it. Highly recommended to SE phone owners looking for a USB cable. | 1positive

Good phone, decent features, lousy support
This cute little clamshell phone does it job. It opens to a small color screen and a traditional keypad lit by blue light. Features include a speaker phone (great for the car if you don't have your headphone attached), camera, voice-activated dialing, international capability, IM, web browsing, alarm, date book, calculator, as well as the more standard caller ID, address book, and call log information. The camera is slow - don't expect to catch anything in motion - but adequate.The worst feature is the ring tones, as it comes with very few (compare to Nokia's). On top of that, the volume is not high enough to hear the phone from the bottom of my purse. If you want a distinctive ring tone, you'll have to pay to download tones from your service provider. Although the phone has a mini USB connector port to download your own music/tones and to upload pictures, you need to find a driver that will work on your computer. Don't expect help on how to find one. The Motorola site is useless, and my service provider salespeople didn't have a clue it was needed. The thick manual that comes with the phone is barely helpful, as it shows key strokes to access features without explaining crucial information; for example, it tells you how to access new melodies without telling you how to actually accomplish the download. In general, the manual looks helpful without actually being of use.As of the writing of this review, the phone seems to be too new for electronic accessory companies to have come up with a non-brand auto charger and headset. You'll have to pay your service provider rates if you want these.On the plus side, the flip phone style makes it small enough to fit into my palm. The sound is good, and the international capabilities (check with your plan) make it more versatile than some of its competitors. I love that I can create my own wallpaper and screensaver with just a few intuitive key strokes. Eventually, the sound features, with Motomixer and personalized ring tones, will also be great - as long as I find a driver.For a relatively low-end camera phone, its performance is surprisingly good despite the nonexistent support. Since this phone is often heavily discounted or free when signing a contract, it is well worth considering. | 1positive

This is an expensive throw away!!
I have now bought three V3i RAZR's in 6 months time and will never buy another one. I let my dad try out my first one and he gave it back damaged. I thought he just handled it rough because the paint rubbed off of the mouth piece area and the screen has a small crack in it. I found out that this phone is just waaaay too flimsy for every day use. My second one was crushed by my daughter and my third one already has a cracked front screen. I have no idea how the third one got cracked, but I tried to protect it with a leather case. I liked the features and function of the phone, but ended up spending close to $600 and still don't have a presentable phone. I recently bought a Samsung Blast because I have had much better luck with Samung (I still have Samsung flip I bought 4 years ago and it still works great, just no bluetooth). If you want a phone sturdy enough for everyday use, look for another phone. | 0negative

Choco-doody
As already mentioned, touchpads are nightmarishly bad. Phone has often needed hard-reboot or even battery removal to recover "glitches". Menu is arduous, tedious and non-intuitive. Function for hanging up or switching over calls was designed by monkeys. Phone makes ghost calls (called my friend with a new baby at 12:30a.m.!). Heat sensitive touchpads become non-functional and erratic in cold climates. Headphones with the music essentials kit won't stay in my ears, sound like doodoo, and eat the battery in a few hours. To set an alarm is one of the deepest functions in the menu tree. Limited to using the horrible robot ringtones or BUYING one from Verizon.other than that, the phone looks great!This will be my last LG product. | 0negative

Doesn't charge my phone very fast or at all some times
This charger takes so long to charge my phone. The regular AC one works fine but I can't seem to get this one to work for my phone. Palm 700p. Although it may be something I haven't figured out yet so I'd look at all the reviews before deciding to buy. If you see the same theme you know its not just a bad one but a flaw in design. | 0negative

NOT 2.5 jack. REPEAT NOT 2.5
Can't always trust what you read. And those idiots who said this was a 2.5 helped me make a bad purchase. Too bad the answer is not in the product description and you have to depend on someone reviewing the item. Luckily I purchased a Panasonic headset with a 2.5 jack (I was going to compare them). Now, I will compare. What a hassle. | 0negative

Not a Quality Product
This case is not ideal for use with the Dell Venue Pro. Not only does it not allow for use of the sliding keypad, but the clasp which holds the case shut seems flimsy at best, and I anticipate that with the first drop, the clasp would separate, opening the case and sending the phone crashing to it's doom.I work in Afghanistan, and live perpetually on a construction site layered with rock and concrete. I cannot affort for my phone to hit the ground out of the case. I am not confident in this product and will not be using it at all. With limited functionality and dubious protection, the BoxWave case is not armor worth wearing. | 0negative

Blue Ant X3 Bluetooth Headset
This was not a very good headset. While it fit well on the ear, and the volume level was good, the people I spoke with always heard an echo. It didn't matter if they were on a land line or a cell phone, they heard themselves talking. I had to turn the headset off each time and hold the cell phone to my ear. I bought the ear piece so I wouldn't have to do this. I am in the process of TRYING to get my money back but have had no luck so far. | 0negative

Great for PS3
I bought this to use for online gaming on my PS3. My PS3 is too far away from the couch to use a USB headset, so I looked at Bluetooth sets and purchased the Voyager 510 after seeing all of the high ratings for it. After charging it up, I was able to pair it with the PS3 using the instructions that came with the headset and didn't have any problems- the PS3 recognized the exact model. Fully charged and paired with the PS3, I played online for about 5 hours straight with my brother (he uses the plug in Logitech headset) and the Voyager worked fine. The battery lasted for that entire period and my brother had no problems hearing me (and vice versa).I have not tried using this headset with my cell phone, because I bought it just for use with the PS3. It does what it is supposed to. I'm highly satisfied, especially considering the price. | 1positive

Good phone Great price
This phone works as well as I expected. The firmware update is a MUST!!! But once it is installed, it was smooth sailing. $89.00 is the low end of these types of phones, but I think the phone works very well for the price. A tiny delay is slightly noticable, but not enough to be that bothersome. I've used it at work, at home, at wireless hot spots, and have had no problems. The only thing that I wish that was possible was to be able to use this phone at hot spots that require a browser authentication.battey life seems good to me 2+ hrs of talk time, and 2+ days of standby time.Great product. | 1positive

Great product, great impelmentation
I saw the review written by rbell95 and felt compelled to corrrect his apperent misconception about the headset. The BT200 for non-bluetooth phones *does* have an answer/end function that can be enabled by using the included stylus. Press and hold the recessed button in the base unit for 12 seconds and release. The status light on the base unit will blink 4 times indicating that answer/end is active and will blink 5 times to indicate that it is inactive. I activated answer/end on my BT200 and it's been working flawlesly for me for about a week now. As an added bonus, when that fuction is enabled, it's pretty much impossible to leave the headset in 'active' mode for any appriciable period of time.I've been getting enough life out of the base unit and headset to last through an entire day of moderate-to-heavy use, and it charges pretty quickly when I plug it in at night. There is some static at higher volume settings, as well as some echoing, but I like being able to hear myself in the headset. If I turn the volume down (easy to find button on the boom), the static and echo both go away.Highly reccomended, especialy if you can find it on sale for $80.00 like I did. | 1positive

Works, but a little tricky to install
Works well, but the installation required rebooting and updating on line. I was disappointed that the address book was slow to update. Motorola could write this so that all the updates could be done on the computer and downloaded at once. Worked well for transfering pictures to and from Razr, and also for making new ring tones from CDs or MP3 files. | 1positive

Don't buy this bluetooth headset
I bought this bluetooth device because it was rated highly by Consumer Reports but found the reception to be terrible. Whoever I was talking to could hear themselves echo and it was so distracting they asked me to turn it off. I sent the first one back thinking it was faulty but it happened again with the second one. I think bluetooth has a way to go before it works well. | 0negative

Great accessory that makes a bold statement
I absolutely love this case. I have gotten more compliments from this case alone. Not to mention the shocking looks from people that have never seen anything like this case. The only down fall is that the case doesn't have a clip to clip on your pance or purse. But the material of the Eel skin is so delicate that I perfer it in my purse to protect it from scratching. If you buy this case your make a great decision for a great buy. | 1positive
