FAST, RELIABLE, EASY TO SET UP
Incredibly fast if you are in a 3G area, otherwise it's faster than dial up. Never drops the connection. Easy to set up and use. Verizon rocks!One negative, I purchased the optional external antenna and it doesn't make a difference in performance in partial coverage areas. No signal = no signal no matter what type of antenna you have. | 45 stars

NOKIA is the best
I have been a fan of Nokia since a long time. This is my fifth Nokia so far. This phone has an awesome screen and a nice camera (better than any I have seen ever in a cell phone). The only drawback is if you install themes it tends to get slower. The connectivity and other features worked smoothly for me. All in all a phone worth buying. To be quiet honest this is the best available in US Market right now. | 34 stars

Short working range
I have used CS50 for a long time and I got 510S as a replacement. After trying 510S for a few days, I went back to CS50:Pros:Works for both my landline and cell phone at the same time, I realy like this.Good sound quality.Cons:Compares with CS50, I got much shorter range. This is the deciding factor that I switched back to CS50. Had it been a class 1 (100M range), I would have kept it and given it five stars.If you do not require a work range more than a couple of meters, this is the right product for you. | 23 stars

Treo 650 SkinTight rubber holster
The cover did a good job of protecting the phone and really helped the grip of the phone. The rubber is soft and provides a good grip to hold onto, making it nearly impossible to drop the phone! However, the holster is plastic and broke within 2 weeks of use. I still used the cover to protect the phone. The rubber also prevented the phone from falling out of my pocket. | 23 stars

not functional
I thought I'd try this since I was desperate and it was cheap, but as someone who studied engineering, I really should've known better. Whoever created this has got to be relying on the desperation/gullibility of people. How in the world is a thin sticker, no matter what's painted on it, supposed to catch some ambiguous "rays" and use that to boost signal? Just think about it. | 01 star

Nextel is awesome
I love my nextel i90c phone. I have had cellular service with Cingular and Centennial. I currently have the nationwide unlimited plan and I use approximately 3200 minutes a month. No other cellular service provider has such a plan that can cover an unlimited amount minutes a month for such a low price. I am extremely happy with nextel and have recommended the same to friends and relatives. One of my closest friends sells Verizon and although Verizon has more towers the two way capability of Verizon is there but the delay in two way talk is very aggrivating and to locate the next user usually takes about 20 seconds. Also I have not had any problems with battery life on my phone. It is recommended that you turn off your phone when you charge it so that it charges fully and I charge my phone at night when i go to sleep. | 34 stars

Ok
Never used. I had the wrong plug specification. I take responsibility for not getting the right information. But never the less it is still a nice little wear. | 23 stars

T-Mobile Samsung SGH-T809 Charger
Item arrived quickly and was exactly as advertised, charges the phone in about 15 minutes of driving. | 45 stars

Love it!
I've had this for about 3 weeks and love it! The case is very durable, keeps my headphones safe and always keeps my earbuds with me! Yes it is a little bulky and perhaps a bit expensive, but that's the price I'm willing to pay to have my headphones with me where ever I go.I definitely recommend this product. | 45 stars

Works great
Have been using this for about 2 months. Worked fine all the time. Very convinient fit on the ear and very light. Sound quality is very good, and baterry life is quite good too. Use it for about 1.5 hrs per day, and charge it once every two days. | 45 stars

Great product!
I just ordered two headsets because the one I got with my phone stopped working. Mind you, I didn't treat it very well and even after stepping on the ear piece twice (and keeping it held together with a rubber band) the thing was still working! It was only after repeated abuse that it finally fell apart. I figure that with two I'll cut down on having to transport it to and fro, as much. This is my first time ordering from Amazon and I'm hoping I won't be disappointed. Oh, and in response to the review dated 2-27-03 (cell phones and brain cancer in mice), the two studies mentioned have not been corroborated by any future studies conducted on the matter. See the FDA's reports (www.fda.gov/cellphones) and extensive international research compiled in a report by the Medical College of Wisconsin (www.mcw.edu). | 34 stars

Does what it is supposed to do!
I'd prefer a body glove type case but I needed something pronto. Being that I'm a broke college student (lol), this was a good buy for the money I had. It works fine and my phone doesn't fall out of the case. It's very professional as well. Plus, if you go into Sprint, Verizon, or Best Buy to purchase this, it's retailed at $31.99. Talk about a deal. | 45 stars

The best ear piece.
I've had three of these ear pieces. I lost the first, I broke the second but continued to use it anyway. I bought the third because the price was half of what the first two cost me. I drive a lot and an earpiece is a must. I like these Jabra Bt250. All day battery life, and comfortable to wear. | 45 stars

Fantastic device that is also very safe and practical
I have been using the FreeSpeak Bluetooth headset from Jabra for a number of months, and I have to say, it is one of the best pieces of electronics I have ever purchased. Not only is it wireless (no more cords to get entabled with!), it is also very ergonomic (just slip it over your ear, and let it hang naturally). When connected to my SonyEricsson T68i, it is unbeatable. Press one button on the headset, and then speak your voice command over the phone, and now you are making calls. Also, unlike some of the other boom-type headsets, I don't have to worry about the mouth piece getting caught, and abruptly pulling the headset off.Drawbacks? Hardly any that would compromise the good. It does catch a lot of wind noise, making it hard to make calls is slightly breezy conditions.I hightly recommend this for anyone who has a SonyEricsson, bluetooth-enabled phone. It's seems like the colors were designed to match each other too! | 45 stars

Great little gadget
I received this little item and wondered looking at it how could this help; but once installed which was easy peasy it worked just as advertised. Boosted my signal from barely one bar to three and four. And the signal has stayed that way for the 24hrs it's been installed. Bravo and to receive four in the pack was great. I would higly recommend this product to anybody that gets less than stellar reception from there cell phone.The tracking of the parcel was strange from my experience but the company/vendor answered up right away to my inquiry and the parcel arrived earlier as usual as per Amazon tradition.So overall Bravo; two thumbs up. | 34 stars

Bad phone
I bought this motorola phone as a replacement for a defective phone that i bought a week earlier from amazon. I had the same phone before and i liked it that's why i ordered. This phone was for my mom to use back home. I received the delivery one day before her trip back to home, so i did not have the time to try it. It was again a bad phone: problem with the screen display that goes on and off without reason and a bad battery that lasts only 2 hours. I've a customer for amazon for a while, but my experience buying electronics frim them is really bad. AMAZON NEVER AGAIN. you ripped me off at least twice. Too bad that the phone is overseas now and it not even worth it to spend money to ship it to return it. Do not buy any phone from amazon. Period. This phones are not the same phone we have here in the US. I wish i could give -5 as a review. | 01 star

Great quality
My husband and I gave the gloves as gifts to five seasoned glove wearers. The reception and comments were overwhelmingly positive. The leather is typically rich and subtle, as expected of Italian leather. The sizes were generous and appropriate. Every one who received them have complimented us for our choice. We highly recommend them. | 45 stars

Black (RAZR) V3
I had a RAZR V2 and it was the best cell phone I ever had so I up graded to the RAZR V3 late last year (2007). The RAZR V3 is by far the worst cell phone that I've owned. It is beautiful and has great features but it keeps failing I have had 5 of these phones so far (the original purchased one plus 4 refurbished replacements) 1st phone: after a couple of months the screen would not light up / 2nd phone would not charge from the get go / 3rd phone after about a month the screen would no longer light up / 4th phone after a couple of months the screen would not light up / 5th phone has been working for about a month now. I really like the RAZR phones, WHEN THEY WORK but this V3 model has been terrible and I would rate it lower than 1 star if possible. | 01 star

Didn't work for me
The ear piece is not universal - it didn't fit me at all. Just fell off. Other than that, it seemed like a quality product. I gave it away. | 01 star

Headset works great
It is rare to me to be able to buy a product with such a large number of reviews and such a high rating. We decided to go for this one based on that information and haven't been disappointed.The reception is crystal clear. Even with surrounding noise, the headset recognizes the voice tags for voice activated dialing. People on the end can hear me clearly and usually are unaware I am on a headset. Syncing the phone to the headset the first time took all of 5 minutes (including reading the instructions). Now, I just activate the phone bluetooth, turn on the headset and I'm already in business. I easily switched the headset over to my left ear. My wife uses hers on the right. It sits firmly and comfortable on my ear and I can talk for an hour and not even realize the headset is on.My only complaint is that the battery life is not terribly long, but that seems to be a limitation of the entire blue tooth headset industry, not just this product. I plan accordlingly and its not usually an issue.As for the buttons, they have not been a problem with me. It took a couple of days of using it to really memorize what buttons did what, but I don't have any problem using any of the buttons, including the power button. I fold the headset up and carry it in my pocket without difficulty or damage. It also does not look big or feel big to me.In short, this device was every bit as good as advertised and after six weeks of use, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for one.11/06/06 update: I am a frequent Skype user and my wired headset broke the other day. I was searching for a new one (I wanted to go wireless) when I finally realized that my computer was bluetooth. Perhaps it would work to use my bluetooth headset with Skype? I paired my Plantronics headset with my computer, shut down Skype, started it back up and was talking on Skype with my headset!! Now I am able to walk around the house talking on my computer just like I can with my cell phone. And the lack of wires has made talking during gaming so much easier. I'm a big time believer in this headset. | 45 stars

Okay for the Price - Problems syncing
A okay headset for the price, but ive had cheaper ones that were better.The headset not the additional piece does not fit well in my ear even after adjusting it with the instructions on Jabra.com and constantly feels liek it will fall off. It refuses to work with my computer, after connecting. Vista asks for a driver and as usual it doesnt have one which makes it impossible for me to upgrade the software. Syncs well with my phone but sound quality isn't very good and would possibly be hard to understand for some users. | 12 stars

Not good
My brother had asked me of this device for the A1000 Motorola Phone. Didn't work at all. It ended in the garbage. | 01 star

Can't beat the price
bought this for a friend so she would have the ability to call in an emergency if her cell phone batteries were completely dischared. Phone operated OK when fully discharged and car charger plugged in cigarette lighter receptacle-note on some cars ignition has to be turned on and on others you can just plug in and start charging.When charging, the cell phone screen did not indicate charging was occurring but the phone after several hours appeared to be charged. | 23 stars

Ugly and it doesn't work.
Before owning this phone I had had very good luck with Nokia phones, outside of dropping things on them and jumping into rivers with them in my pocket. I've had this phone just over 4 months and I hate it.I never used any extras or downloaded anything, so this is from the perspective of someone who ordered a phone from AT&T; and made calls and texted and took maybe 5 photos in 4 months:1. It's ugly. No style at all. I'm pretty practical for a twenty-something girl, but I feel like an old woman carrying this thing around.2. That neat-o button that opens it up? That was cool for about a week before the random openings got annoying. The camera button is obnoxious as well, unless you like inner-pocket photos.3. The screen gets filthy and it's so hard to clean out all the corners.4. Reception was not great. I live in the East Bay, CA and I've gotten a steady 2-3 bars at best. My last Nokia got great reception even in the Santa Cruz Mountains.5. Battery life is terrible. I don't talk that much, but I've had to charge it almost every day.6. It started out glitchy and just got worse. I had some problems when it was low on battery or just charged, but they seemed to clear up. Until now. 4 months and it won't stay on. That's unheard of! I'm not going to bother getting it fixed, and I'm not sure I'm going to buy another Nokia phone. | 01 star

Bulky and flimsy
This case did not resolve my quest for a decent holster for my motorola v190. I love the phone, but the accessory market stinks.Pro: Finally a case that doesn't push the side buttons (which I can't disable)Cons: Broke (a little) within 24 hours of light use. Still barely usable. Very Bulky. | 12 stars

Phone has SIM card issues and poor quality
I've been struggling with my phone for 5 weeks now. I kept getting the infamous "Insert SIM card" msg, and voice quality has been terrible. The support people at Cingular had me try 4 (!!!) SIM cards in a row, they did the remote resetting and "tuning"(yeah right), and it's still acting up.On average, 50% of my calls are "one way", and I get many many dropped calls. They're going to send me another c417 (not new, refurbished), which I fully expect to be just as bad, now that I have read all the reviews. To be avoided... (the phone *and* Cingular) | 12 stars

Not great...only ok
I have an older Handstands sticky pad and I love it. This one is different.. not as cushioned and barely "sticky". I bought this for my husbands truck (he keeps trying to steal mine !) but he is disappointed in it. Hope they bring back the better version. | 12 stars

Good product
This was a good choice for me. The earbuds are comfortable and the radio works fairly well. I would recommend that you also buy cell phone holder to mount on your dashboard otherwise it is hard to keep the earbuds in place. If you only occasionally use your cellphone in your car and want to be safer on the road, I would recommend this as an affordable solution. | 23 stars

Old phone, but still kickin' it!
Although by today's standards my cell phone is a late model, I still love it and once the original battery died I purchased one online and hoped for the best. Well my phone is alive again and works very well to my complete satisfaction. I'm not tech savvy, so entertaining the possibility of buying a new "smartphone" was not an option for me presently. One day I'll join the masses who own smartphones but not yet. I give this replacement battery 5 stars as well as the great price and service received from the seller. | 45 stars

Incredible value
Extraordinarily cheap price, but it works! I bought 2 sets (for myself and wife), and they work great. Data cables work fine, btw.Download BitPIM to do your contact/calendar/internal data transfers. ([...]) You will need to install the driver software (included) for BitPIM to see the phone. Note that BitPIM doesn't transfer video/photos stored on your external storage (microSD in my case for the LG VX8700), but I was able to put the phone into 'USB Mass Storage' mode and the cable worked fine for transfering those files. Of course, a card reader works fine for those files too. ;-)Anyway, point is, this is an amazing value. It's one of those things where you say to yourself "there's no way something this cheap will work." It does. And props to the vendor. They were very prompt in processing and shipping the order. Good job. | 45 stars

Headset
I've been thru a few headsets. This one is solid and has great sound. I'm really happy with it. | 45 stars

P150 BL Headset
More comfortable to wear and less fragile than the Motorola HS850 it replaced. The slow rep rate blink of the blue on indicator LED is not as obvious in the car at night so it less distracting. Having red and blue LED indicators you know when you are turning it off or when charging is underway or complete. Voice pickup is just as good as the Motorola unit and it came with three sizes of ear bud pads making it easier to find a comfortable fit. No more flopping around which was the second drawback of the HS850. The slender boom make you look less like a 'borg, but it is a little difficult to set it up for optimum position. Battery life is good enough to keep up with my phone. I would probably buy another when this one needs to be retired. | 34 stars

Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard paired to Nokia N70
I have been using the Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard daily for 9 months now paired to a Nokia N70 phone. It is a fantastic tool that transforms your cell phone into a lite notebook PC and Email client. I travel extensively and the keyboard slips easily into my suit pocket. The keyboard has a WOW factor and attracts a lot of comment in coffee shops, airport lounges. It is much easier to use on the road or in a train than a notebook PC, as it takes a lot less space and with the N70 weighs a fraction of a notebook. The key spacing is identical to my notebook, save for the number keys which require the SHIFT key and take a little time to get used to. My Nokia N70 requests me to select the keyboard layout, and I have chosen "Int. US" which seems to give the best functionality, although I haven't managed to get a key to activate the N70 top right hand button or the N70 navigation control as yet. No problem though as I can simply reach over to the phone and use the N70 navigation control button.Once you get the hang of it, connecting takes between 5 to 60 seconds (60 secs should need to re-activate Bluetooth and re-"Pair" the devices. - further comments below) Generally no pairing needed, and connection is typically established in 5 secs.Re-"Pairing" involves activating Bluetooth on N70, searching for keyboards on N70, making sure the keyboard is on by holding CRTL+FN+FN for several seconds, selecting the Think Outside on N70, entering a pairing code "0000" on the N70 phone and then on the keyboard "0000" FOLLOWED BY ENTER. Infrequently I need to reboot the phone which takes a while longer.I have really used and abused the keyboard for 9 months - had it rummaging around in my PC bag, Ive taken it to the beach*, mountain biking in my cycle shirt pocket* (* in a waterproof Ziploc bag).I was initially a little confused by the instructions which require the user to press CRTL+FN+FN keys simultaneously to make the keyboard visible to other Bluetooth applications. If any one else is having this problem, you need to hold down the CRTL and both Function keys for several seconds before the keyboard is activated. A flashing green LED between the "T" and "Y" keys indicates that the keyboard is active, and can be detected by other Bluetooth devices.I have recently had an intermittent problem with the auto-detect and auto-pairing. The N70 automatically detects and re-establishes the Bluetooth pairing to the keyboard 5 secs after you start typing. Sometimes when automatically re-connecting I have trouble using certain keys on the right hand side of the keyboard. I can't work out what is causing the problem, but I don't think that it is a mechanical problem with the keyboard or key connections, as when I re-boot the phone, the problem tends to go away. I think that the problem may be caused by other Bluetooth device interference, or some sort of driver malfunction when the keyboard auto-reconnects. I also infrequently need to reboot the N70 phone to get my Nokia Bluetooth earpiece to reconnect - so the keyboard problem may be linked to the phone but Im not sure. I don't remember having this problem initially.Notwithstanding all of these small Bluetooth niggles, the keyboard is multiple times faster than trying to type with cell phone predictive text or a Palm Treo micro keyboard. I get hundreds of Emails each day, and my phone can quickly retrieve headers plus the first 10kb of text on the fly, and using the keyboard, I can shoot off a quick (or comprehensive) Email or SMS response to the majority of mails in a fraction of the time that would be needed to boot my PC, access Outlook, and download mails - and I can do all this while reading the paper and sipping a cappuccino.For advanced users: Although the following setting are not directly related to the Think Outside keyboard, the keyboard turns your phone into a powerful lite PC and Email client, and it therefore becomes important to have the ability to access a copy of you recent Emails on your phone whilst ensuring that a complete set of Emails is retained on your PC. Palm Treo and MS Mobile software have got this syncing sorted, but Symbian 6.0 (operating system for Nokia N70) cant sync mobile to PC successfully as yet and the following work-around is required.Phone Email settings: I leave a copy of the incoming Emails on the POP3 server for later download to my notebook PC. Send a copy of yr Sent mobile Emails to your POP3 Inbox Email address - that way you will always have a copy of all your Sent Mail sent from your mobile on your PC.Notebook Email Settings: Leave a copy of the Emails on the POP3 server for - say - 5 days so that you always have the last 5 days Emails available for download to yr phone if needs be.Incidentially this "pull" solution costs a fraction in download costs of the Blackberry "push" solution and gives similar functionality, but you only "pull" the Eamils onto yr phone when you want them.Conclusion: Buy one - you won't regret it. It will unshackle you from your desk and notebook and save you hours. I am going to buy a second as I can no longer afford to be without one should my first fail or get lost. | 45 stars

DO NOT GET THIS PHONE
Absolutely, positively, do NOT get this phone. I have had 2 so far in the last 8 months. Both started acting weird, then shut off and NEVER came back on again. Cingular admitted to having many problms reported on this phone. Sony is supposed to be coming out with a new model - the 700 - but I doubt I will even bother with that. No matter how much you want the included MP3 player and/or FM radio- it will save you a bunch of potential trouble if you don't even get this phone. | 01 star

Great Phone
This phone is the best phone I've ever used. I have no problem with the camera feature. Pictures are sharp and clear, and the color is fine.I have had no problems with reception, and here in florida, that is a common problem. The only thing I can find on the phone that I don't like is the little button on the side that anticipates your next move. If you happen to be takling to someone and accidentally touch the button, it terminates the conversation.All in all, this is a great phone. Glad I bought it. | 34 stars

Not the quality I expected.
I have the same pouch that I purchased directly from Motorola and the quality is a heck of a lot better. I believe this is a knock-off product even thought they use the Motorola model number and logo on the pouch. If not, Motorola has really lowered their quality standards with this product. The locking swivel bracket does not lock in place like my original one does either, so the phone and pouch swivels around while wearing it. | 12 stars

Works for Me
After a small amount of screwing around the H500 connected with myNokia N75 without a hitch. I find that if you firmly place the earloop around the base of the ear and then fold in the receiver in fitsfirmly and doesn't come loose. I agree that the volume could go higher;however, in a quiet room it is adequate. I'm told that I'm clearlyheard on the other end of the connection. This is also in a quiet room.Small and lite. I think this a rather nifty piece of gear. | 34 stars

Loud but irritating
It does a great job of amplifying two-way conversations. The problem is that it has no "off" switch--it turns itself off when it doesn't detect sound. So, if you're having a conversation with someone who is a soft speaker (the main reason I bought the thing!) it turns off--and then you hear even less than without it. So I find myself clearing my throat a lot, just to keep it turned on. It's especially disconcerting when on hold--you can't tell if you're still connected. | 23 stars

Absolutely like the Leather case. For the price and the quality it is a great STEAL!!! | 34 stars

T-Mobile Service is horrible!
This review is more of the service than the phone. The phone is thin and cool, but T-Mobile might have the worst customer service. My phone would not work, and I seriously had to wait an hour or more just waiting to speak with a representative who was fairly clueless. After waiting an additional 20 minutes on hold to speak with a specialist, I was informed that their office was closed. I'd go with Cingular over T-Mobile. | 01 star

Best FM Transmitter I've used
I have an older car ('93 Toyota Corolla) and my cigarette lighter doesn't work because of a fight with a previous FM Transmitter I owned. One of my friends recommended this battery operated transmitter to me and it works wonderfully. I purchased mine in October and used it for two months on the first set of batteries. The sound clarity is great and I've only had problems with interference once or twice. | 34 stars

3M double sided tape does not stick to everything.
I am one of those people who has a dashboard that this product doesn't stick to.I have a dollar store mini glue gun, and a dollar store bag of glue sticks.I heated the glue gun, ran out of the house with it to the truck, applied the glue to the holder, and squished it on to the desired place on my dashboard. All is well, but 3 stars due to having to secure other items to make this work. | 23 stars

Unwise investment - even if it is free!
This is by far the worst phone that has ever landed on my lap. My ancient Nokias are better than this piece of junk.To start, the phone gives a wide variety of programs to use and those that stand out are the outdated picture camera and AIM. Though AIM in my opinion is unsurpassed, it's outdated camera is far surpassed by other competition. This phone gives you a MP3 player, a video player, and all the goodies but the video recorder is horrid with a set limit of seconds and no easy straight way to upload songs and oh by the way, these are short clips not full-length cause of the memory of the phone is just that limited.The looks has to be up there but the phone itself doesn't come close to its exotic appearance. The overall phone lags enough for an easy notice, the phone DOES NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO USER-FRIENDLY, and bottem line, getting this phone is going to piss you off more than make you smile.There is actually one quality that can be said and it's the reception. I've noticed RAZR's generally give decent reception on any given day on any given provider. So finally a good characteristic.The overall phone sucks. Bottem line and that's it. Not much more to say. It's so bad, you won't even feel slight happiness getting it for free. Horrible buy. | 12 stars

A good move from the Palm TX...
Naturally for me the Treo 680 was my first smartphone choice from Cingular a long while back, and I expected great things from it. During the first stretch of the honeymoon period I LOVED this device, for it was basically a lateral move from my previous Palm TX pda. All the calendar entries and contact information had synched with no trouble at all to my Mac and other than the added phone application nothing much else felt any different.Then came the battery life that left much to be desired! Usually I am a stickler for recharging my devices EVERY night even when there is more than enough power for the next day. But nightly charging with the 680 had become a NECESSITY! Without overnight charging the Treo would barely make it past my morning coffee. It seemed like just navigating the menus with the stylus brought down the battery level right before my eyes!I took a chance on the qwerty keyboard in texting and word docs editing and did not like the feel of the buttons at all. They were cramped, too small and the feedback too rigid for any sort of comfortable typing with my fingernails. My current Nokia E61i qwerty feels like plush cotton compared to the Treo 680 and its buttons are perfectly spaced.The camera is good for what it is: a basic snapshooter. There is no way to expect any kind of great resolution or vivid colors from the VGA camera, but it gets the job done nonetheless.Call quality was truly excellent and is up to par with my Nokia. Actually I will admit that the Treo's call volume was better in comparison to my E61i. Reception, on the other hand, was a little bit shaky in my daily usage. There were a few times when the phone would reset itself in standby or in the middle of a call, but not as frequently as my first Sony Ericsson p990i.Wifi has become a standard that I have become accustomed to in smartphones and it is a shame that this Treo does not have it...but at the same time it isn't a dealbreaker either.Eventually I took the device back to Cingular due to the unwieldy bulkiness and horrible battery life. Despite this return, the Treo was an okay device that was an adequate introduction to the world of smartphones.We've all gotta start somewhere. | 23 stars

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. | 34 stars

This is not for a Treo 680
THis product is thinner than the one I am replacing, and it is not for a Treo 680. The slot for the Card opening is for a MicroSD card & does not allow removal of the SD card on a DS card. :( | 12 stars

Way better than I was expecting
I purchased this because my state recently instituted a hands free cell phone law.I'm hearing impaired so I can't wear those "in the ear" bluetooth devices. When I saw this, I figured I'd give it a shot. I usually don't get calls in my car, but figured it would be nice to have just in case.I read the reviews on here before I bought it and most people liked it and the price was right. It was also recommended somewhere else.I finally got a chance to use it this morning- I bought it in November and never tested it out - and it's awesome!The person's voice comes through crystal clear and they understood me too, no problem. It was much better than talking on the phone.The only con was that the volume could be a little louder. I don't think I'd use it when I'm flying down the highway because the road noise gets too loud in my car. But in regular street traffic, I had no problem hearing the person on the other end.All in all, I am extremely happy with this!! | 45 stars

works with palm treo, although static once in a while
I really like it, it fits over ear nicely so you forget it is there, the only thing is once in a while, it is so static sounding that you can't use it and I think it is when I am in the house and too close to the phone with it on. Other than that, it is great. | 23 stars

Not worth
This headset is supposed to work with cellphones and other sources of audio over bluetooth.Well, if I can just "hear" that audio that's not good enough. The sound quality is pretty bad when I connect to my computer and play music.2 stars are for ease of setup and average audio quality when used with cell phone. | 12 stars

Good sound, difficult buttons
The sound quality of this headset is much better compared to other BT headsets I have used. In poor reception areas, the headset creates a constant clicking sound, but with fair reception the quality is as good as the cell phone speaker. Finding a headset with background noise cacellation is essential and this model does that well. Without the noise cancellation, you can forget using BT devices while walking. What I don't like are the minisule buttons on this headset. Even after months of use, the volume button feel is not intutive, because I can not tell if I pushing up or down, because the button is so small. Battery life is good, it usually exceeds my phone battery. | 34 stars

Plantronics Voyager 510
I like everything about this Bluetooth except one thing or I would have given it a 5 star. I don't like the postion of the on/off switch which is a slightly above the volume control and seems cumbersume to activate when it is around your ear, other than that this is the best bluetooth I have owned. The ear piece has differant adaptors to fit the shape of your ear, and the sound is Chrystal clear | 34 stars

Clunky and not very functional
This phone bills itself as "international" with two GSM bands, but on a recent trip to London and Dubai I could not get it to work at all and had to revert to my tri-band Sony Ericsson Ti68, so if you travel out of the USA think twice! Also, on weekends, I found the added size of the SX-56 needless and reverted to my smaller phone. Windows CE is less intuitive than the Palm OS - CE does not prompt for confirmation of entries, leaving you wondering if they were accepted. One great feature of the SX-56 is the speakerphone ability, not common in a handheld - but overall I would say stick with a Palm plus a small mobile phone. | 12 stars

Terrible

Fail: Wait for the next version
I bought these because they were the highest rated Bluetooth headphones on CNET and a few other electronics sites, but they fall short of my expectations. I'm pairing mine with a Motorola RAZR V3xx phone so there should be no compatibility issues. If this is the best available I would wait for the next generation before I would consider buying any Bluetooth headphonesThe Good:* Sound quality and range are excellent.* They are light weight* Battery lifeThe bad:* They fit don't well. All the reviews said people with big heads have problems, but I have a average to small size head and they didn't fit me well either.The Ugly:* It is impossible to resume play after receiving a call, pausing on the handset (pausing on the headphone control works), and sometimes after last song in playlist is played. In all of these situations the sound cuts out erratically until I turn off the headphones, turn them back on, and allow them to reconnect to the handset. I thought my headphones were broken, but Motorola person I called said this behavior was normal. | 12 stars

As advertised
After my BB got the screen scratched the second day I owned it, I started to shop for a new lens. I happened to find this product and was saved all of the time and expense of replacing it.You do have to use firm pressure and maybe a second application if it is really stubborn,....but whoa, works great! | 45 stars

Great Little Keyboard
I just purchased this and it's a very smartly designed and durable keyboard. Once unfolded, the keypad itself slides together to lock the unit down flat. It feels and types just like my laptop. It's stable, and the rubber feet on the bottom keep it from sliding. It also has it's own form fitting zip up carry case.My only complaint is that the keyboard arrived without the Device Stand included. Instead of repackaging everything and sending it back I've opted to contact Think Outside (which you can only do by email on their site to my knowledge) to get it sent to me directly. I'll post again if I don't hear from them soon. :) | 45 stars

An Option to use of ear device in automobiles
BlueAnt Supertooth Light Bluetooth H/F I have experienced some glitches with this model of Blueant. the caller hears echoing on their end of the conversation. I have tried to lesson the echoing by turning down the volume of the speaker on my end, which helps but does not eliminate the problem. Some of my friends use the device without any feedback from echoing. I have a pocket PC-6700 Windows based phone. There is another problem; if you try to make a call using the BlueAnt device after a call has been made to another number, it may not recognize the new voice command and it will dial the previous number. This may be a problem only with the Pocket PC-7600 model. Talk time is excellent. | 23 stars

Worst carrier imagineable
Tmobile has been nothing but a headache. I signed up because of the fav five program and unlimited text addon availability. I didnt realise you can only USE that in select spots and only on a full moon. Reception is GODAWFUL. God help you if you want to change plans.. or even figure out what plans are available. My behold (phone) is neutered beyond belief when it could have been one of the best phones available. Wish id never left verizon. For the same price i could have gotten pretty much the same deal, incredible reception Everywhere and a much better phone selection. Once this contract is up ill never use tmobile again. | 01 star

Better (almost) Impossible!!!!!!!
I am a PPC user since 3 years ago, this phone does what is designed to do, if you are not familiar with Windows Mobile environmet it could be a little complicated, however is not "Rocket Science", I really enjoy to have everything together (Pocket PC + Mobile) in only one device, unfortunatelly my Phone Service Provider has not enable 3G Technology yet to allow Videa Calling, but anyway I am READY for Everything with this Equipment, is a little bit expensive, but it pays itself for its performance.A Happy Customer!!!!! | 45 stars

Works but spotty reliability
HS820 works but volume levels are low. In a quiet room the levels are acceptable however in a noiser environment poor. The headset looses connection with the handset repeatedly over the course of the day. Also the SLVR had to be power cycled to reconnect to the headset some times. The blue LED is very distracting. Overall an inexpensive headset whose 29.99 price is really what it should be and never higher. | 12 stars

A beauty to wear, but...
[Note: I bought this around July of 2004, and my initial review did not show up in the right place... so this is a repost of a 5 month old review]More than the convenience, at this point, this headset is attracting conversation in book stores and Electronic stores that I frequent. I hang it around my neck (Neck strap included with packaging) and many curious people ask, "is that a miniature phone?" Well, it's a wireless headset, I say. A Best Buy salesman even said, "I envy you!".Anyway, that's the non-essential part. Now for the usefulness:It's great when I need to talk while driving. Very convenient. But if you are not wearing it when you get a call, it's quite dangerous to take it out of your neckstrap/glovebox/seat and wear it on your ear. I don't find it very easy to slip it on my ear - certainly at least not easy while driving.If you are in Sales/Marketing and similar professions where you expect a lot of calls (receiving/sending), then this is the device for you, because I'd say you will soon get used to just wearing it around your ear all the time. The cordless convenience in these scenarios can't be beat. But if you are just a gadget freak (I'm guilty here), and got it just for the technology, then, well, chances are, you may not be using it all the time. (Works great to create an impression though!).If your phone supports voice recognition, then making calls is easy with this headset - just say the name and about three seconds later (in the case of Motorola V600 phone), the phone will start dialing your number. (You will not like the 3 second delay at first, but you will probably get used to it quickly). To receive calls, just extend the mic boom and the headset connects to your phone. But if you are already wearing this headset over your ear, then the boom is always extended (and I think the battery is probably being drained in this position) - you have to press a little button on the side to accept an incoming call in this scenario.I'd give 5 stars for the ultra-cool design, finish, form, voice quality and the packaging (which includes a snap off neckstrap, a really good looking pouch and a charger)I'd give 3 stars for the practicality of this thing. (No fault of Motorola here. Just comes with the headphone territory). As I said, for some people, this wireless convenience really works.I'll keep mine. When not actively using it, it at least keeps the Sales kids in Best Buy really talking shop with me. I guess they look at me as an "early adopter" and a tech savvy guy (which I am ;>) )ps. Finally, for the kids out there, whether you use a handsfree set or a phone, talking while driving is distracting and is considered dangerous by many. So please use discretion! | 34 stars

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. | 45 stars

Best iPhone 4 Case
The BoxWave Apple iPhone 4 Cyclone Crystal Slip is by far the best case at a reasonable price available. Unlike the bumper stuff Apple sells (big rubber band will do the same). The Cyclone slip fits like a glove. Looks great and provides excellent protection around the metal edge and back of the iPhone 4, unlike most cases on the market. A quality product. | 45 stars

Motorola S805 headphones
My father ordered these from Amazon.com as a gift. They arrived within about a week. I am amazed at the great sound quality that I get from this product. I wasn't sure how Bluetooth would work with Stereo, but it works as well as any headphones you ever owned, and you get the freedom of moving around without wires. If you're the type of person who is usually up doing something or working, this is the headset for you. They're very sturdy, and the telephone features on it are of great quality and easy to use. People can consistently hear me over this device better than any other bluetooth device I've owned. I would highly recommend this product. | 45 stars

But what about the basics?
This is the worst phone of the more than half dozen that I've had and I'm returning it this weekend.Pros:-It's cute and pink.Cons:-I have received several messages of "Call failed" when attempting to put through calls that I've never had a problem placing in the same vicinity with my old phone.-The phone can't ring and vibrate simultaneously when a call is coming in. It's either one or the other and the ringer is not loud enough and the vibration is not pronounced enough, so I'm always missing calls when I'm driving.-When I had the address book transferred from my old LG, my speed dials were reassigned in some crazy, random way. In fact for each contact, EACH number was given a different speed dial number, WTF? So now I'm supposed to remember 115 speed dials? Why on earth would anyone want that? Normally, on other phones, each contact has _one_ speed dial number set at the default telephone number chosen by the user with the other numbers accessible by scrolling.-For the life of me, I can't figure out how to reassign or delete the assigned speed dials. Several other people including a techie I know couldn't figure it out either. I shouldn't have to waste time calling customer service for this nonsense. Navigating through this basic feature should be very clear and simple.-I'm not ecstatic over the flat keys.-The pictures you take come out blurry and have low resolution.Overall, this phone is a lot of hype and no substance. I'd recommend that you bypass this one. My daughter has a chocolate and the pictures are beautiful. She doesen't have any of the same problems as I do with this one.Oh and I almost forgot to add, the user guide and verizon website are tremendous wastes of time. They really don't address use of the phone so much as the audio/video access options.Call me old-fashioned but I'd like a phone that primarily makes and receives calls portably and conveniently. bells and whistles are nice but they should be secondary concerns, not the MAIN features of a phone. | 01 star

Big design flaw!
I got these for a Christmas present, and although the sound quality is very good and the set up extremely easy I have now had 2 of these break on me due to the lack of flexibility in the actual headset. The design of the headset has the rigid plastic part snapping if you twist it a bit too far.My second pair (which I was being very careful with after the first one snapped) broke last night and stabbed me in the neck. Not exactly what I would call a good thing.I would avoid this headset until Bluetrek can redesign the area that is prone to break with a 100% rubber composite that will allow better stress tolerance. | 01 star

This is the one
I had two other bluetooth headsets prior to this one but was not satisfied. This unit has wonderful clarity, sound and volume. It works well outside, not perfect in the wind but much better than the other units that I had used. I spend about 4 hours of talk time a day using this unit and the battery will only fail if you forget to charge it the night before. Buy it, love it | 45 stars

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. | 01 star

Perfect.
The cassette works better than most transmitters. I have an Acura TL with a cassette and cd player and I plug my iPod into the cassette all the time. They usually last a long time but the cord has gotten stuck in my hardware on the bottom of my seats a couple of times, that's why I personally have had to replace.GREAT PRODUCT!!! | 45 stars

Cool little package!
This phone is a major upgrade from my Motorola V551. I've had it for a month and LOVE it. The key layout takes a little getting used to but once you get it down you will appreciate it. Here are some of the negatives I've heard: "White Screen Of Death" - Not here. "Bad, glitchy software" - I've file swapped gigs of music, video, games, applications, MP3s, etc and as long you make sure the USB is really disconnected it's safe (the phone actually says when it is safe to disconnect so come on people) Also, the best way to file transfer is to connect the phone to your computer with supplied USB cord, then open "My Computer" then open "Drive E" and just drag and drop like anything else on Windows. When finished click "Eject Drive" and your phone will say" It is now safe to disconnect your USB cable from your phone". "Swivel is cheap or breaks" - Mine feels sturdy. I actually hardly ever open it. If you have an extensive phone book you won't need to. Just for texting. "The buttons are small" - I'm a 200lb male with average hands and I've had no problem. "The camera is weak" - It's a 1.3 megapixel and the photos are great for a cell phone. In case you don't know: There is tons of FREE photo enhancing software out there. I use Picasa from Google and my daytime pics (post enhancing) look like they were taken from my old Canon 3.2megapixel. The flash is a little light that reaches 6 feet tops at night but it works. I've taken a few impressive night time shots. Well that's about it. I highly recommend this phone.p.s. The MP3 players super loud volume and quality are superb. | 34 stars

RAZR phone
I got this phone for mother's day from my husband, and it's great. It takes wonderful pictures when you forget your real camera at home. I took pictures of our daughter in the hospital, and it takes great in-door shots so her daddy could see how she was doing. My husband was thrilled to see the photos I took. The phone works great and since we live so far up north in the Redwood forests, we get clear, perfect reception. I was so thrilled with this new phone, I love it and take it everywhere. Comes with several fun things to add to the phone too. Try one out, you'll love it too. I haven't had anything go wrong yet,and I've dropped it a few times, with nothing breaking. I have the silver one, it's thin, comfortable to hold, and easy to dial, without trying not to hit other buttons in the process. My friends all want one too! So far, this is the best phone yet. | 45 stars

Worst Customer Service
I received this phone 10 days ago and I'm still trying to activate it...The phone looks cool, but what's not cool is the service at Cingular. Cingular claims that porting a phone number from another company usually takes that long!! The long waiting time, even when you want to talk to a manager, is more than 15 minutes..I have decided to go back to T-Mobile... They're more experienced and friendly....I don't want this phone because of Cingluar... | 01 star

If you have Cingular, don't even!
Didn't have ITunes, like the description says. Makes noise even when the phone is off, for example when its charging, it beeps. Motorola phone tools isn't included, and it costs like $30. If you have cingular, you cannot use MediaNet, and after you check your voicemail, you will recieve a text message from no one. EVERYTIME. This phone isn't worth the hassle. | 12 stars

exactly what i wanted
I've been waiting to upgrade my Siemens S40 phone for quite some time. I have a friend who has the first version of the MPx220 and even though there were software problems he still loved the phone. When the MPx220 was reintroduced with the new software, i purchased the phone. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and love it. Syncing (I just downloaded the latest Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8) with Outlook has resulted in no problems at all. The ringer volume is not a problem but it did take about a week to adjust to the headset volume which isn't as loud as it was on my old phone. I think part of it has to do w/ the phone design (you have to offset the phone from your ear to hear better).As for the bad, I haven't done too much w/ pictures, but the few that i did take were not that impressive.If you are looking for a smartphone, I'd definitely recommend checking out the mpx220. | 34 stars
