] | The sound quality was excellent, but the earpiece is flimsy and irreplacable: terrific electrical engineering, poor mechanical engineering.I loved it when it wasn't broken. Even wind didn't seem to bother the headset much. The voice quality was great on transmission and reception. But the earpiece is incredibly flimsy and can't be replaced. I got a new headset the first time on warranty. The second time it broke I could have gotten a free replacement again but I didn't want the hassle. I have a Scala now that I've been using for months and I'm very happy with it, even though the sound and wind-immunity doesn't measure up to the Logitech. | 1 | Great electronics, poor electronics. | 1,172,188,800 | 02 23, 2007 |

The headset is light, confortable and fits well.My only complaint is about the smart button used to turn on/off, answer, dial and pair. The button is also a LED indicator. The LED flashes diferently (different colors, intervals) for various modes but it is difficult to see the LED while pushing and holding the button. After a few days I got used to it and now I know how long to hold the button down to switch on/off, pair or use voice dial.At $42 it is a good deal. | 4 | Good BT Headset | 1,137,542,400 | 01 18, 2006 |

] | I bought the Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset (980228-0403) for use with VoIP on my HP zt3000 Windows XP SP2 notebook. I wanted to use a wireless headset and VoIP to make international calls, mostly from hotel rooms. This headset did not work out of the box for my situation. The Logitech support website was great. It said to upgrade the notebook's bluetooth software. The HP site was also excellent. I downloaded bluetooth and many other newer drivers. Once installed, the headset immediately worked as docuemented. The other newer drivers solved all the weird hibernation problems I've been experiencing too. I'm using Skype for VoIP service. Skype setup has an option for using the bluetooth headset for Skype only, otherwise the normal audio devices are used. All in all, installation was a bit of upgrade work but competently supported. I now have a VoIP connected wireless headset that allows me mobile freedom. Due to my usage, I have no comment on the audio quality or useability with mobile phones. The device apparently will not work with the majority of PocketPCs due to a lack of bluetooth software. Thus I only gave it 4 stars. However, HP does sell stereo headphones (no microphone) for most IPaq models.Update: 15-March-2005 Am able to pair with Axim x50v PocketPc. Has considerable static. Skype and other apps nearly unusable. Continues to work with XP well. Suggest Plantronics MX100I Stereo Headset for using Skype on a PPC. | 4 | Yes, it does XP, Not Recommend for Axim X50V | 1,104,192,000 | 12 28, 2004 |

] | Got this headset to replace my Jabra (which was incompatable with my Nokia 3650). Fit and comfort is extremely subjective but I found the Jabra to be far more comfortable (I would actually forget I was wearing it); that said, this unit is not uncomfortable (until after a couple hours) just not nearly AS comfortable or securely fitting.Very few complaints as far as performance. It was easy to pair with my phone, my wife's Motorola V3 and even my laptop. Sound quality is clear for both parties (recipients occasionally complained of a pinging noise with the Jabra) and the noise reduction actually works to eliminate wind noise. Battery life is excellent. The single function can be a little aggrevating (especially when trying to turn it off as you have to hold it down for a long time). The only weird and very rare quirk is occassionally calls will be interrupted with a strange sound that sounds like someone dropping a manhole cover as it spins on pavement - very strange, very annoying and fortunately very rare.Overall, performance is top notch, comfort is acceptable and value is difficult to beat. | 4 | Great sound, reasonably comfortable | 1,110,844,800 | 03 15, 2005 |

] | Because I spent a lot of time on the phone, I am very particular about BT headsets. I have tried every brand of BT headset you can imagine, I mean EVERY brand. I was so frustrated to a point I was ready to go back to wired headset until I ran into this little guy. This is by far the best one, hands down. My most miserable experence was with Jabra and Motorola. I had a lot of connection and audio quality issues with those brands.BT headset designers seem to favor visual appeal rather than performance. I don't understand by most headsets on the market are short and stubby, in which the microphone is right next to your ear instead of your month. Having microphone that far away results in having to turn up the microphone sensitivity, which cause the headset to pick up everything including background noise. Lack of an effective noise-filtering system such as the one in this Logitech headset, you end up with wind noise, car noise, AC noise, every kind of noise but your voice. In additional, the close promixity between the speak and microphone creates a feedback loop for a nice serving of constant echoing. I lost count of the occasions when my friends and coworkers on the other end of the phone tell me to "get off your crappy Jabra BT headset" or "take me off your Motorola BT headset". I am amazed that people on the other end can easily tell it's a Jabra BT headset because the horrid sound quality.Onto this gem, the sound quality is amazing, by far the best of the bunch. The WindStop system really does work. Together with the farther extending microphone, this unit produce the best sound both incoming and outgoing. I know many users complaining about the fit, but it's really a fault of the user. As one reviewer pointed out, there is a "correct" way to wear this, and I think it provides an excellent fit and comfort.I can't speak for all, but I personally don't wear a BT headset as a fashion statement. I use it as a mean for convenience and safety, so sound quality and fit are top factors for my consideration. On that note, this is a clear winner. I wish product managers and designers at Motorola and particularly Jabra take note of that. Jabra (250 and 250v models) being the worst with it's behind the ear design and a heavy-trigger button is really a very lousy product in terms of usability and sound quality. I am sure customers that raved about Jabra would rank this unit out of this world! | 5 | Great product! | 1,139,529,600 | 02 10, 2006 |

] | This device allows me to answer incoming calls on my NEC phone while I roam the office with my Plantronics wireless headset in place. This headset already has enough wireless range to cover half the floor in my building, so the ability to answer the phone at such a distance is extremely useful in a bunch of situations. A couple of key features:When a call comes in, either Intercom or from an external line, there is a chime in my ear that alerts me to the call. I can then press the single button on the headset and the receiver is lifted, allowing me to receive the call.When the call is done, I press the single button again and the receiver hangs up.It's about as simple as conceivably possible.The install instructions were however less than perfect. To get this to work properly, I have to unplug the phone base from the handset and in to the Plantronics unit. The handset is then plugged in to the Plantronics unit. This was not explicitly stated in the install instructions. It took 10-15 minutes to figure out the trick. Once that was worked out however, everything has been perfect.The only thing that I cannot easily do is pick up parked calls as there is no function to select a line. I can live with that shortcoming. | 4 | An amazing device once it is installed | 1,298,505,600 | 02 24, 2011 |

] | First of all, I must start out by saying that I am a little surprised that this little mechanical device is even necessary with all of the technological advances out there these days. The HL-10 is kind of a "throw back to the seventies" in terms of its jerry rigging function. Having said this... Plantronics builds quality stuff and I am sure that there is a good reason for it. The device does exactly what it is supposed to do once you adjust it for your individual phone. I was a little concern that it would fit my phone but they include plenty of adjustment options to take care of any setup. I am using it with a Plantronics CS351N headset - which I love for it professional wireless function. I tested the HL-10 by picking up/hanging up the headset 10 times in sucession and the lifter raised and lowered the receiver successfully each time. That was good enough for me. Definitely worth the $ if you own a wireless headset and you roam around the house/office while talking on the phone. | 4 | Does what it says it will do... | 1,153,958,400 | 07 27, 2006 |

It could be more aesthetically-pleasing, but as I'm sure it's designed for a wide variety of phones that need a remote lifter, I suppose you can't complain.Mounting the unit can be tricky. You need to be certain it will work properly before you use the sticky tape to mount it in place. So, you wind up holding it with one hand while working your headset to activate/deactivate it several times to be sure you've found the right spot for it.Comes with a special headset adapter for phones with shapes that offset the lifter bar. | 3 | Does what it is meant to do. | 1,382,572,800 | 10 24, 2013 |

] | I used this phone lifter in combination with the Plantronics CS50 Wireless Office Headset. It was a powerful combination that allowed me to answer my phone up to 300 feet away from my office. This lifter fits onto your phone base and lifts the receiver when you press a button on your remote headset. You can answer the phone or hang-up when the call is completed without ever touching the receiver.The lifter came with a plug in mini-microphone ring detector that attached to my base phone and it allowed the base station to notify me when the phone was ringing. The setup was quick and easy and the device took up almost no space on my desk as it attached to my phone.I spent thousands of hours a year on the phone and this device along with my remote wireless headset saved me a lot of neck stress and phone holding for hours a day.

] | This device takes a signal from a wireless headset like the CS540 and lifts up the receiver from your base phone unit. Depending on your phone's angle and the conformation of the receiver, it may work or not. My phone is a Toshiba digital phone and I was able to get this to work only by angling the phone almost horizontally, which makes it look stupid on my desk and also makes it hard to read the LCD and caller ID.Installing it is a bit twitchy, as you have to temporarily mount it somehow on the side of the phone as you play with where it is to sit, and if it's angled correctly. That's because the stickum adhesive is pretty permanent, so you have to decide the optimum placement before you attach it. I had to resort to duct tape for this step.I'm going to be frank and say I have a love-hate (maybe mostly hate) relationship with Plantronics equipment. I go through headsets lately like nobody's business. My first one lasted 10 years! That was excellent. But the next one lasted 2 minutes (an M22) which only lasted that long because I tap danced on it before I threw it in the trash. The latest is a CS540 which I will review once I have one that doesn't arrive DOA. That's right, dead out of the box. I got it overnight shipped, only to diagnose a bad cable from receiver to amplifier (which will take a week to get replaced.) Nice! Overnight emergency turns into a tech job for me, plus a week's wait. I put all this stuff in the review, because I'm not sure Plantronics deserves their top spot in telephone headset and accessories. We're pretty much stuck using them and I see the quality going down over the years. This lifter is case in point; it's not the swiftest design imaginable. The little extender rod/gripper that is your last-ditch method to get your receiver to hang up is a kludge, in my opinion. Perhaps you've had better results, but I find this thing less than perfect. | 3 | Will work more or less-depending on your phone | 1,391,817,600 | 02 8, 2014 |

This thing worked all the way out to the sidewalk, and likely much further, but that's as far as I went. The quality on the other end is very clear. The manual is plain stupid, it looks like they were half way through putting it together when they released it, but on the Mac the manual was of course not needed, just plug it in and it worked without any of the driver install nonsense Windows requires. BTW, I am using it primarily with Skype.OK, I have to add something to this review. There's a fatal flaw in this device. A flaw that makes the device near worthless to me now. If the USB cable is unplugged, but the earpiece is left clipped into the holder/charger, the battery runs down within hours. Obviously a simple diode somewhere would have prevented this, but for me the device now is close to useless.Update: May 8th 2011. So, 5 years later, the device is seriously failing. the electronics in the device are dying. I am having to constantly remove the battery to get the headset to work, and it's cutting me off in the middle of calls. It also refuses to charge, and discharges when not in use even when the base is connected via USB. It's a pity its failing, and I came looking for a new version, but there is none.

In fact, if Samsung/Sprint had released the i550 (SD memory slot, faster, etc.) I would have never considered the Treo 650. So, let's talk about the positives of the 650:Camera w/movies is nice. Memory card slot is nice. It's fast. Bluetooth sync with my Mac Powerbook is awesome - no more plugging up cables to HotSync! Handfree in the Prius works great. Having a PalmOS 5 based machine gives a more powerful web browser that can view more sites. Higher rez screen is nice.On the downside, the lack of graffiti would be okay if this keyboard was as good as the one in the old Motorola PageWriter, but instead, it's as small as they could make it, requiring shift-keys to get to slashes, @ symbols, numbers, etc. A real hassel and even though I could blaze on the PageWriter, I've been reduced to about half the speed on this keyboard due to all the extra work. Having software-graffiti would have been nice, and the third-party add-on "write on screen" apps are okay, but not as accurate as what my 6035 or i500 had.No voice recognition at all, but for $20 you can get a program that is awesome and doesn't have to be trained. "Call 5 5 5 1 2 1 2" and it does. "Call Bob Tompson Mobile" and it matches it to the address book -- no training, beyond numbers. VERY NICE.Battery life is so-so. You have to charge it each day if you use the 'net much. i500 was poor, too, but better than this. The 6035 I could use for almost a week without charging it! (6035 and i500 had analog modes, too, while the 650 is digital only.)So, it's okay, I'm okay with it, it crashes/reboots randomly all the time, but ... there's really no other option on Sprint.I would have taken a flip phone over this huge brick phone in a heartbeat... But there is none, so, with that said, the Treo 650 is okay.

] | I just got the Treo 650 through pre-order the other day after using the Treo 600 for over a year (and 4 replacements ... the 600s just kept breaking). It is a dramatic improvement and I love it.The screen is now high res and looks incredibly clear, the Bluetooth works wonderfully with the wireless Jabra headset. When a call comes in simply hit answer on the phone and the call comes through the headset. I don't particularly like the comfort fit of the Jabra on my ear so I will probably be looking at other alternatives as well.The camera is now actually good enough to take snapshots you would keep. Almost as good as some of the low end digital cameras. A few of the critical buttons are placed more intuitively.Initial setup went pretty smoothly, so far, it seamlessly upgraded my old Treo 600 software and imported all my contacts and calendar as well as almost all my applications. The Sprint phone rep that activated my phone actually seemed to be quite knowledgable.The only real CON is that the Treo 650 Hotsync cable connector is big and clunky compared to 600. IMHO they made a backward step by replacing the sleek original Treo connector with the Tungsten design connector. It requires a separate power supply to charge. I have been used to charging my Treo 600 through the single USB hotsync cable to my laptop. This extra power connection is a messy annoyance. The upside is that since the battery is removable I can have a spare charging elsewhere.Overall opinion is that I wouldn't even consider returning to or buying a Treo 600 now that the Treo 650 is available. | 5 | A must get upgrade to the Treo 600! | 1,101,427,200 | 11 26, 2004 |

] | I am not too picky when it comes to a PDA phone, if I can keep my outlook calendar, appointment, and call the contact store on it, I'm happy! But I do wish the Treo 600 can be better!I had the Treo 600 for almost 1 year and upgraded to Treo 650 as soon as PalmOne asked me to that's because Parts of my prayer has been answered: A better screen resolution; touch screen is more sensitive than the 600, I use my finger instead of the stylus now; camera is a lot clearer and the zoom works great; removable battery is really handy to use that fully charged spare one any time; my favorite bluetooth is built-in. And that little keyboard lites up in bright blue and white is very easy to read. Thanks to the faster processor, the program loads a lot faster.However, I am still looking for the built-in WiFi, and the bluetooth does not take voice command; reboot is not as easy as Treo 600. I do not notice the boot up being slow because I rarely have to. However, I did notice that it takes up more internal memory and thus make the available ram less than 10MB the first time I turned it on. (Palm is doing a flash upgrade to fix this, so I heard.) With an SD card, I put a bunch of application on it to get around this until it get fixed. And I was able to have about 18MB available internally.I like this new Treo 650, as to all my handheld gadgets, I bought a fitted case to protect it. If you like me want to keep everything in perfectly nice looking condition, I recommad a case and a screen protector. Remember, this is a hefty investment comparable to a PC, this Treo 650 may even be your home phone, make sure it is well-protected. | 4 | Still, a big improvement over the treo 600 | 1,103,587,200 | 12 21, 2004 |

] | I have had this phone almost 6 weeks (40 days). At 3 weeks the middle row of keys stopped working (a, s, d, f, and g, etc). I was told to call Palm in India, which I did, and they told me the keys were not covered under warranty.I truly wish I were making this up, because I have really loved Palm. This is my fourth Palm device, though it will likely be my last. I run a small real estate company which works with wireless telecom providers throughout the nation. My hope for this device was that I could stop carrying three devices (my cell phone, my Palm T3 and my laptop). And then, that all my guys could stop carrying all these devices around.Of course, when I took the phone to Sprint, they said it was Palm's responsibility to repair. When I raised a stink with them they just looked at me with blank eyes, as they always do. Sprint seems like they are in the business of trying to run customers off.I called India back and raised enough of a stink, that they said they would give me - this one time - a "free return and repair," meaning I would be without my phone for 5-10 business days. They also gave me the option of paying them an additional $25 to get a refurbished replacement, complete with a 90-day warranty (which I now know means nothing). These people honestly acted like they were doing me the biggest favor by offering me this repair.I was then effectively called a liar by Palm / India when I had to re-emphasize that the keys just don't work, and that I needed something immediately. I don't understand how I can be made to feel like a criminal when I deal with these people, or how I can be made to feel like they're doing me a favor by standing behind their product. I am the customer! Doesn't that mean anything anymore?I am also not sure I understand how customer service in general has become so bad (though Amazon's remains very, very good). When a person spends $400 on a phone, or any device, it should work longer than a few weeks. But when it does stop working, the company that sold it should stand behind their product, instead of looking for ways to squirrel out of their responsibility. Subsequent to this occurrence, other friends / colleagues have told me how they had problems with their Treo 650s, as well.There are other issues with this phone. Out of the box, the power/sync cord did not work. I returned that to Sprint and got a tremendous hassle in trying to get it replaced. (I ended up buying a Seidio charger/cradle, which works fine.) The sound is pretty bad - I am constantly having to adjust the volume. Every so often, the phone just resets itself - can't figure this one out at all. Also, when someone calls in on Call-Waiting, you cannot disconnect your active call without disconnecting the incoming call; in other words, when you accept the Call-Waiting call, it automatically means two calls will run simultaneously, even when the first party hangs up. This plays heck on your monthly minutes.Also, there are limited, non-intuitive ways you have to power on the phone. And don't get this phone for its camera: cell phone cameras are only good for placing pictures on that cell phone.Otherwise, all the Palm applications work as they should, and as they have for the past number of years. Expect nothing new and different from the Palm OS part of the Treo.All in all, I am firm in my opinion that I will never own another Palm device. My company will stop using Palm, and we are going to slowly migrate away from Sprint (when contracts start to expire).My apologies for the rant, but it simply seems that these companies have become much bigger than their customers. Excuse me if I just let them move on without me.Are there any companies out there that provide good customer service anymore? I know mine tries to; otherwise, we're out of business. | 1 | Sadly, I'm leaving Palm | 1,145,491,200 | 04 20, 2006 |

I had doubts on how comfortable I'd be lugging around a big phone like this, but that was short lived once it was in my hands. I get so much use from this phone, not only for the phone itself, but for the PDA capabilites. I have never been so organized and on top of things. The only thing is that it sometimes freezes when it connects with my Bluetooth, but it's a minor complaint and one easily overlooked when I look back and see how much this phone has helped me. | 5 | Great Phone | 1,178,755,200 | 05 10, 2007 |

] | I've owned a Palm of some type for about seven years, and had a cell phone for slightly less time. I've always resisted buying a combined device, because I thought "they aren't ready yet." When it came time to replace my PDA, I decided that the Treo 650 might be ready. I had concerns about the size of the screen, and about integrating PDA and cell phone functions. Overall, most of my nervousness about it was groundless. I am pleased with the phone so far.Good points:Works well as a phone--Better signal than the Nokia phone it replacesScreen is very readable, even though it is smaller than on a traditional PDAPalm functionality is fine. The interface has been redesigned a bit, and you seldom need the stylus. Most entries are done with the rocker switch at bottom center of the screen, or with the keypad. You truly can do many functions one-handed. But they managed to do this without losing the feel of the Palm, you aren't having to re-learn from zero.The memory is non-volatile--In English, this means that if your batteries go dead, you don't lose all your data till you re-synch your Palm.Bad points:Those who complain about a slight delay when dialing from a number in the Palm contacts list are right. It's not really a problem, but it is an annoying couple of second delay.If you are one of those who read books on Palms, I'm not sure the screen will do for prolonged reading.Battery life is fair. I am able to get two days out of it with medium use, and have a bit of life left in the battery. Not like the days of the monochrome Palms when you'd go for a week between recharges!It's only so-so as a web browser.The price is hideously high.Keyboard is cramped, but about as good as you can expect on such a small device. It is definitely useable. My instinct was to use my right thumb only, but I now believe the people who claim that if you use both hands (thumbs only) you'll be faster.From what I've seen of the Treo 600, I do not believe the upgrade would be worth it for those who currently own a 600. If you are waiting to make the jump into a combined PDA/phone, I believe thhis is a good point to do it. | 4 | I held off on PDA phones till now, but this one hooked me... | 1,107,907,200 | 02 9, 2005 |

The company is v-e-r-y slow to respond to email messages to their support box, so call them, don't write.While the sound quality of the unit is very, very good, there are other issues with the unit. First, the fit on my particular ear is horrible... always feeling like it was going to fall off. I never trusted it walking through airports as it just didn't feel secure.Second, the unit literally fell apart in my hands after three or four months. The portion that protrudes gently into my ear came loose, then broke off. I note that others have metioned the same thing. It just wasn't well constructed. Bummer!

] | Let me say up front that I ordered this from Amazon after reading all the glowing reviews, and I've been fairly disappointed by the performance I've experienced. My experience was specific to using the Scala with Sprint's LG-PM325.First, the audio quality was not good. If my phone was lying on a piece of furniture within two feet of the headset, I could usually get passable quality and occassionally get clear reception. Any other scenario resulted in garbled audio. When using the headset with my phone, while the phone was in my front pocket, the audible was unacceptable and barely discernable. And it's not by hearing.Second, there's the shiny blue light. When I read other's comments about the flashing blue LED, I really didn't think much of it. But in the dark, this thing is a strobe light. At night, with my headset left on some countertop downstairs, and while I was upstairs, I could see the flash of blue reflected off my second story ceiling. That's part A. Part B, the flash results in a very slight audible clicking, not unlike when a camera flash goes off. Which means if you use this thing at night while lying in silence, be prepared for a constant audible and visible reminder that you're wearing the Scala.Battery life was good. Pairing was excellent. The piece stayed on my head pretty well and comfortably, and making or answering calls was straightforward.I've returned mine because of the two problems. | 2 | Performance Sub-Par | 1,121,731,200 | 07 19, 2005 |

] | Probably the biggest compliment you can give this headset is that you'll often forget you're using it. The Scala 500 is incredibly lightweight and (when adjusted properly to your ear) very comfortable.I'm impressed by the controls. Both the main button and the volume 'wheel' are very accessible and very responsive. With the Sony HBH35 headset I was constantly dropping calls due to the unresponsive controls. This never happens with the Scala 500. Additionally, volume is easily regulated.Pairing with the Motorola MPX220 phone was quick and easy. Additionally, reconnect is quick and reliable following a disconnect due to powering off one of the units or going out of range. (Range, by the way, is good; comparable with the HBH35 headset.)You can hear the other party clearly and crisply. Transmission of your voice, I would say, is good. Though there's infrequent interferrence (static) on voice transmission, I've never had anyone complain about difficulty in hearing/understanding me. There's NO annoying "bluetooth echo."To sum it up:Plusses: Price, size, weight, comfort, pairing, controls, sound quality, range, responsive customer service.Negatives: Requires charging cradle (one more thing to haul around if you're traveling), no 'fuel guage' to indicate battery life (red flash comes on, but only when it's close to dying) | 4 | Great Bluetooth Headset | 1,112,918,400 | 04 8, 2005 |

Have used it three days.It works well and came with a good set of accessories. My only complaint really is that the tone of voices on my end sounds a bit like a tin can phone. Intelligibility is not a problem, but the sound is a bit disconcerting. Most people I talk to say it sounds fine on the other end, but one complained of the "tunnel sound."But it is a good value. It synched with my T-Mobile Wing right away. I think it dropped a couple of calls, but cannot be certain where the blame lies. I just walked away from the phone and when I came back it reconnected immediately.Other comments: The eyeglasses clip is a great idea but I'll have to modify it to work with my thin wire frames. The ear clip is fine. The supplied neck cord is a good idea, but I'm not using it. The belt clip seems a bit vulnerable as it sticks out pretty far.Mine was missing the full manual (a return?), but the online PDF was easy to find.Overall, I did expect slightly better performance, but am satisfied with the value and general function of this headset. | 3 | OK, but not spectacular | 1,188,432,000 | 08 30, 2007 |

] | Ok. I just bought this adapter today for my PDA cellphone. The product integrates well with everything (My Laptop - sony vaio, cellphone (siemens sx56, my panasonic cordless home phone (although with the panasonic, ppl complain about my voice being faint)). But the issue is , I hear static crackling noises even if I'm not in a call. As soon as my bluetooth headset is connected to the a210 adapter, it produces faint-medium crackling noise. The noise is exactly like the one it produces when you move out of range. But happens even at 1-2 feet distance. I was initially confused on what is producing this. The battery was fully charged on the adapter. The bluetooth headset is not the issue, as it connects well with my laptop (which has integrated bluetooth). Then I figured, if I keep the adapter and phone closer (few inches away from my ear) to my headset, then everything works well. Otherwise even at a distance of 2-3 feet , it starts the crackling. I even switched modes (1,2,3) on the adapter and still the same issue. Although it works upto 20-25 feet, the crackling starts at a distance of 2 feet. I even turned off my wireless networks to test this. Also exchanged it for a new one, to see if it was a item specific issue. But even the 2nd one is having the same problem. The manual says, that it is due to interference. I think many 2.4 Ghz can cause this inteference. Alhtough I turned off all of my wireles devices, it still caused the issue even in my car (slightly better, but not totally gone).But in any case if you don't hear the crackling, it integrates very well with everything. The crackling is heard only by you, not by the person on the other side. So we can probably live with it. There are not many bluetooth adapters that are available out there.Note: Many reviewers here complain about this adpater not working well with home phones. First of all, if you read the manual, this is not designed to work with home phones (if it works well with home phones, then you're lucky). It is designed to work primarily for mobile phones only. | 3 | Crackling issues, but integrates well with many devices | 1,165,536,000 | 12 8, 2006 |

] | Overall, an OK headset that, versus the H700, trades better inbound voice quality for less outbound quality. Given its low price, though, it's a great value, though I can see why some RAZR and PEBL boxes include this for *free*. My report card:Design: A-, nice simple design. Buttons are few and easy to use, though the main button is a bit sensitive. Single-tap to power-on is a welcome feature. USB charging a real plus.Aesthetics: A-, it's attractive in its minimalist aesthetic. Color options are cool. (And there more of then if you shop elsewhere!)Build quality: A, it's a solid unit with good materials.Comfort: B+, it's lightweight with a decent ear clip. Unfortunately, the earclip is loose on the headset which, combined with the light weight, make for a very "floppy" fit.Compatibility: A, no problems pairing. Connects quickly when turned on. Headset has full handsfree functionality that is very easy to use.Outbound sound quality: B, callers can hear me fairly well, but many have complained of a pronounced "speakerphone" effect requiring some self-repeating. OK noise cancellation.Inbound sound quality: B+, volume is more than adequate, but could be a tad bit louder still for noisy environments. Incoming voices are clear but could use some bass. Minimal static.PS: A previous reviewer believed that, like the HS850 with its folding mic boom (the on/off and connection switch), you need only turn on the H500 when receiving a call; the headset would connect quickly with the phone and pick up the call. THIS IS FALSE. You must leave the H500 turned on and actively connected to your phone in order to use it, just like any other headset. | 3 | Successor to the HS820, but could be better. | 1,131,580,800 | 11 10, 2005 |

] | I bought this Bluetooth as a back-up for my pretty pink Motorola H500. Therefore, I placed it in the drawer until I needed a replacement, and last night i needed it. I plugged it up for a couple of hours and tried to pair it to my new phone and it did not work. I then charged it overnight and again tried to pair it and nothing (not one indicator light). I plugged the blue-tooth back into to the charger, it had a steady blue light and i tried pairing it to my phone while it was on the charger and it worked; unfortunately, i can not walk around with a charger and outlet attached to my head. Consequently, this was a lemon and due to the months passed from my internet purchase, i am unable to return it or exchange.Therefore, the moral of the story is to test everything you purchase from the internet.

So light, you can wear it for hours w.o. a problem - you forget it is there. Volume is definitely loud - but can be adjusted, if you want.We are using it w. SE r520m phones - first generation ("years" ago) that had BT built-in.I had bought a Cardo "Allways" head set in 12/03. It was so cumbersome, neither of us really used it. It was uncomfortable.I can see I'll be using this most of the day. I am a heavy cel phone user - 2000 min./mo. - mostly day time.I find it strange in reading reviews of these items that some find a model to be quite good in a feature (eg. volume) and others find the same model unacceptable. Since no two people have the same size OR shape ears, probably a headset should be tried on for fit before purchase - just like you would a pair of shoes....mt | 5 | Seems "perfect" to me | 1,133,049,600 | 11 27, 2005 |

Although you may need to talk a little louder so that the other person can clearly understand you (Well, not too bad really).It was an easy setup. The device itself looks fine, not too dorky in my opinion. It also has a nice blue LED light. Available in many colors of choice.Why not 3 stars? The volume control is hardly palpable. It is hard to adjust the volume while in use. Your fingers may tend to slipped while trying to adjust. Even the call button is difficult to press.I like the ear hook can be flipped to be used either on your left or right ear. It is also not too heavy to be worn comfortable on your ear. | 3 | A Very Affordable Bluetooth Device that Works | 1,238,889,600 | 04 5, 2009 |

] | I bought an H500 a few years ago when it first came out. It was plagued with low volume and poor connection. After using a nokia bluetooth for the last year I got this one again because of the no cell phone laws in California as of July 1st.This headset is plenty loud with my Sony Ericsson T650i and I haven't had it drop the bluetooth connection yet. The volume sits a little below half and I can hear perfectly in the car. Battery life rocks and voice clarity is a lot better than I remembered it with the first H500.4 out of 5 stars because the ear clip is flimsy and doesn't allow the H500 to sit tightly against your ear. So if you're planning on using this while running or during an intense walk - don't count on it.Definitely recommend this as a great bluetooth device.

I always buy the Motorola H730 or H750 which are upwards of $60 but I always lose them. Always! It is a curse so I figured I would get a rinky-dink cheap one so I wouldn't cry in the corner losing out on a day’s worth of work pissed and distraught over losing my (what is this my 6th) Bluetooth.

] | This is my first bluetooth headset so I don't have anything to compare it to, but so far it seems to be pretty good. It's small, very lightweight, and comfortable. It's hard to judge the comfort of this device unless you try it yourself because everyone's ear and head are different.I'm using it with a Motorola Razr V3m from Verizon. It paired easily and quickly. The connection is a little crackly even right next to the phone, which surprised me, but it's not so bad that it takes away from a conversation. Naturally, the further you get from your phone the reception deteriorates. Volume and clarity are fine and sound just like holding my phone up to my ear.Overall it's a good headset and fine for my purposes. Only a few drawbacks: the volume and call buttons are a little hard to manipulate, and it would be nice if the unit could be held tighter against my head. | 4 | Gets the job done | 1,191,715,200 | 10 7, 2007 |

] | Right off I have to say that when it comes to cell service and phones and the inherent contracts: you get what you pay for, in more ways than one, and buyer beware! I do my research, ad nauseum, before getting into a new contract or into bed with a new cell provider. I've been a Nextel subscriber for two years with an i90 and an i730. Both lovely phones - service very professional from Nextel - coverage and features what I expected. But like I said, I researched that to death before I bought their phones or their service. Got the phones from Amazon.I, too, was taken by the looks of the RAZR, and so was my wife once she saw one. But was it as good as it looked and was it worth and worth switching carriers for? For one, Nextel wasn't making it easy to stay with them - they got into bed with Sprint and I had Sprint for years and still have nightmares about their customer service. (Plus, the price for an "upgrade phone" for Nextel was *unacceptable* from my point of view. Everyone knows you get a cheaper phone with a new contact!)I got two RAZR's at a local retailer - sorry Amazon, but your rebates with Cingular aren't worth the effort - and paid $99 each, best price *anywhere.* I got a family plan which is on par with Verizon's and saves me a bunch of money over Nextel. A *bunch* of money. Two words: rollover minutes.I spent just an hour charging the phone, reading the manual and configuring the phone to function as well, if not better, than my i730, which is a *great* phone, and noticed similarities in function and detail and quality to Sony, Motorola and Nokia phones friends of mine have. I repeat: I read some of the manual, which is something many people seem to avoid.For anyone complaining about the phone/ address book, shame on you. I was worried about the address book based on reviews, but after five minutes with the manual and using the phone, I got the RAZR to do *everything* my nifty i730 could do and then some. There are so many ways to configure the address book it's silly. You can assign and create "categories" for numbers and addresses and even have the phone only display certain categories so you only have to flip thru the numbers you want to flip thru.As for the complaints about battery life, the RAZR has a six-plus hour talk time on it, better than half the phones on the market today. I can say that cos I feel like I've researched about half the phones on the market ... :) Do this: plug your phone in when you go to sleep at night. I can *guarantee* you it will be fully charged in the morning.Fragile phone? How clumsy are you? I've beaten up lots of phones over the years and you should expect just about anything this side of a brick to break when you drop it. Half of my i730 is made of the same material the RAZR is and has a lousier belt clip to boot, which has allowed my i730 to fall the the ground way too many times. I'm happy with the material and it's expected durability. Stop throwing your delicate, *expensive,* micro-electronic device around like it's made of teflon. *Be careful.*I am not on the camera-phone bandwagon primarily because what is required to merge unlike technologies is by it's nature usually expensive and difficult. (A good example is the ROKR, the so-called iTunes phone. I have an iPod, and if that phone had come close to actually blending the best of the wireless world and the abilities of iTunes and the iPod,I would have bought it, but it came far short of doing that cos blending two ideas like that isn't the easiest thing to pull off well ...) The RAZR is not expensive because it has a great camera or a large memory stick or can capture full-motion video and zip it over to your dorm room buddies in the blink of an eye. It's expensive because it's a *slick* looking phone and makes other phones on the shelf self-conscious. Most of the professional reviews of this phone gave it low marks for camera abilities, so don't be surprised by that. Want a good camera phone for Cingular? The Sony s710 got great reveiws; good luck getting it for less than twice what the RAZR costs. That's the difference.Last thing - I got the phone knowing I have 30 days to send the whole thing back if it's not working out for me. So there's a little consumer-friendly cushion to give me some time to fully evaulate the phone. Still, I did my research so there wouldn't be too many surprises when I got the phone.Hope this helps. | 4 | Lovely phone - get what you pay for... ! | 1,126,828,800 | 09 16, 2005 |

] | I'll start with the bad first, given the amount of interest this phone has generated.1) The Phonebook application is a little...wonky. Some people have said you can't add more than one piece of contact info per contact, which is NOT true. You can, but its nearly hidden underneath the "MORE" function while editing the contact. However, its not convenient and you cannot add additional e-mail addresses or phone numbers to your contacts using the Phone Tools app...which is annoying, since T-Mobile charges $30-40 for the hardware/software bundle.1a) It also takes forever to scroll through your Phonebook contacts. I thought it MIGHT be caused by having some SIM contacts, so I transfered all of them to phone memory. No dice. The scroll speed is untenable. Even my wife's Moto V330 is quicker. What gives? I had to create a voice prompt for almost every contact in my list.2) Even at full blast, the volume just isn't loud enough. Plus, the "audio sweet spot" on the speaker is hard to keep next to your ear. If you are planning to get a Bluetooth headset and use that exclusively, this shouldn't keep you from getting the phone.3) Compared to a Samsung V205, a Sony Ericsson P910i and Motorola's own V330, the RAZR gets poorer reception. The previous phones mentioned all get four bars at my house. The RAZR gets 2. This even after calling T-Mobile tech support for help. Their advice? "Keep turning the phone on and off and it will hopefully find another tower."4) T-Mobile offers NO games for this phone yet. Given how high profile this form factor has become, I find this level of support to be somewhat poor. I know - you don't buy a phone for its games. But just to show how lacking T-Mobile's support is...the RAZR includes a demo for BeJeweled. After the (very) short demo is over, it asks if you want to buy it. Clicking the link brings you to a webpage that says "Sorry, we don't offer games for your phone yet". My wife's V330 has a similar issue. She's had it for over 4 months and services like T-Mobile STILL offer no games for the phone. Again, I know you shouldn't buy a phone based on the number of games offered for it, but its still a feature, something to whittle away the time while waiting at the DMV.5) Camera phone still only 640x480. Decent pics at that resolution, but given that there are cheaper phones on the market (I didn't get this phone for free) with higher pixel values, this is a moderate oversight on Moto's part6) Phone response is fairly poor as well. Example - going through my contacts by pressing keys (going from Q to R to S)...so very slow. You think the phone hasn't responded so you mash the button again, at which point it responds to TWO button presses and you have to start all over again.7) The Phone Tools application is a little user unfriendly and totally geared to people who mess around with Outlook CSVs on a daily basis. I've managed to get it to work, but not without some work.Alright, so now for the good.1) This phone is a veritable conversation piece. Oohs and ahhs all around...if you care about that sort of thing. I usually don't. I just want a functional phone that gets good battery life, gets a decent signal and can withstand a beating (I'm a klutz). But if you do care about the conversation-worthyness of your cell phone, this one has it in spades.2) Great battery power. I've had it on for 5 days at moderate usage and I've still got 2 bars left.3) This is a sturdy phone. My kid has already dropped it on cement twice and I've seen NO scratches at all. Maybe I'm lucky, as another reviewer mentioned that poor build quality on his piece. I've not had any issues. The phone is rock solid.4) The usual amount of ringtones and wallpapers....all of which are amazingly expensive. Why does it cost 2 bucks for a hi-fi ringtone lasting 20 seconds when I can buy the song at iTunes for a dollar?5) The PhoneTools software allows you to create your OWN ringtones. I haven't played around with the software yet, so I'm going to guess that your abilities to import MP3s or CD-audio will be truncated to some degree.6) Excellent Bluetooth performance. Haven't had the opportunity to test file transfers and such, but the RAZR's connection to my Moto BT headset is great. Doesn't matter which side of my body they are situated. Decent sound quality even at 20 feet of unobstructed space.7) Did I mention this phone is attractve?8) Ringtones can get quite loud, even without degrading ringtone sound quality. I wish the speaker was this loud.This phone has some serious shortcomings - most important among them is the poor performance of the Phonebook app, poor signal quality and low speaker volume. Ordinarily, I'd be bringing the phone back, like, tomorrow. But the design of the phone and its excellent BT performance makes me want to hang onto it.Hopefully, Moto learns from their mistakes and releases a RAZR V4 with better earpiece volume and snappier response times. | 3 | Great looking phone....if yer into that sort of thing | 1,125,100,800 | 08 27, 2005 |

] | The #1 reason to buy (and keep) this phone is the slim form factor. Let's face it - for guys who don't like to keep the phone on their belt like a pager, a pants or suit pocket is the only option. This phone is far and away the best one in that regard. I forget it's there a lot of the time. It is also built EXTREMELY solidly, and does NOT scratch easily, although the SCREEN scratches easily.However, the battery life is terrible. I literally have to charge it every night after less than two hours of talking with bluetooth. You MUST get the car charger immediately. Even though I had bought one on the internet, I couldn't wait for it because the phone kept dying so I raced to a local cingular store for an intermediate car cord.The Motorola HS-850 BT headset is great but occassionally loses connection w/the phone, which is frustrating.The only reason I kept this phone is the size. | 3 | WARNING - ROTTEN BATTERY LIFE!

] | This is one great phone, sleek, light, small, thin. Motorola got the form exactly right, just slightly larger than a credit card, and only a half an inch thick. The screen is excellent.Motorola missed big time on this one, not including Motorola Phone Tools and a USB cable in the purchase - now how cheap is that. I just spent all that money on a super exclusive cool phone, and they make me buy software for $30? That's actually kind of crazy.They also messed up on the phone book. 450 Outlook contacts, that were spawned from 200 core contacts - each cell phone, business, email, and home entry for an individual is a separate entry. Way way too unwieldy. They need to update this error big time. They've also missed on priority numbers - you know, you identify people you call a lot, and they go to the head of the list. I'm used to the problems now, but wow what a miss on their part.The camera, oh it takes pictures. They look decent on the cell phone, but forget much more. The shutter speed must be very slow, you have to hold the phone solid to not get blurry pictures (when viewed on a computer screen full size) - on the phone they look great.Overall - my nits are truely nits, this is one heck of a great phone. If you're price sensitive, buy the V500 series. If you want cool, get this one.By the way, I'm a long time ATT customer and had no trouble (read it took less than 10 minutes to buy and activate this phone) with Cingular. In fact the service seems better. I just wish they would port over your voice mail. | 5 | Great Phone But Missing Software | 1,104,364,800 | 12 30, 2004 |

] | I bought this becasue I was very happy to see a phone with a metal case again. I used to just use nokia phones back in the day and they would break at least once a month on me. Bought the Moto v60 and was really blown away. The best phone I ever had. Then I upgraded to color phones and tried the other Motos. Really big disapointment. Moto phones are made so cheap and fall apart just like nokia. When this came out I jumped on it. Finally Moto was going back to the quality phones.PROS:-Some what sturdy case. The metal parts seem solid. No marks as of yet (1 month).-The battery life is a little tiny bit higher then your average phone. I have to charge it at night but it has at least half the life left on it. I talk for about 3 hours a day.-Camera is ok not the best and by far not the worst.-Slim form factor. And yes its wider then your normal flip but this is a good size. Other phones always seemed to skinny for me.CONS:-Not all of it is metal. The bottom is plastic and it seems to be cheap plastic. It creaks when you push on it. I think that is where the antenna is, and if it has a SAR rating of .80 (I think) at the ear then I wonder how much your jaw is getting. Rather my jaw get cancer then my brain right?-The vol is almost a joke it is so low. At the highest its about what a normal phone is at its middle setting. I used to have to turn people down on my cell, now I am struggling to hear them sometimes.-The keypad looks nice but its a pain in the butt. The donut thing in the middle is already scracthed by my finger nail. The rest of the keypad is protected it seems and has no marks.-A pain to clean. The keypad is shiny and gets crap all over it. When you clean it the rubber lining between the keys grabs part of what ever cloth you are using and gets it looking even worse.-Phone book. Good god man. The fact that they used this phone book really shows that either they don't put a lot of effort into the phone or was a total mess up. Either way it is a true shame.-Good luck with support and warranty from Moto. Past experiences with them was very poor. You send your phone to get fixed and a month later you get it back and they didn't even read what the problem was before they "fix" it and send it back still broken.The reason they make phones out of cheap plastic in my opinion is because what do you do 6 months after your phone looks like you dropped it down the stairs a few dozen times. You buy another. Strong durable plastic is used all the time. For crying out loud Glad uses it all the time. I am more then happy to pay 600 dollars on quality and if you have the money do the same. This phone is not even close to meeting my expectations of what I thought I would get for a 600 dollar "basic" cell phone. I have high standards and for top dollar I want the best. Moto might be seeing this and is offering good rebates now. 250 or something on Amazon as of now. Well worth it for that price.To the other reviewer about Verizon. They use CDMA and this phone is only for GSM. I doubt they will ever make a CDMA version. But of course I have no real clue. Call Motorola.Also sorry for my spelling mistakes and all. It would take to much time to go back and review what I wrote. I am not getting paid for this and won't waste my time. Good luck and I think you will be very happy with this phone over all. | 4 | Happy | 1,108,512,000 | 02 16, 2005 |

] | I have been a Nextel user for years and their Motorola products including i90, i95, i730 and i830. The v3 is the best Motorola product ever!!! Blows the i830 out the water and makes it look like yesterdays news. Superior and striking good looks and is solidly built - no, it does not look cheap as some previous reviewer stated. I live in GA and Cingular reception is very good. Paired my v3 with Bluetrek G2 bluetooth headset(received rave reviews and is cheap - pick one up on ebay) and I wonder what took me so long to get on board. I did fear Cingular's merger with AT&T; since I had AT&T; years ago and their reception was terrible.I'll never go back to Nextel as they do not appreciate their customers and their Motorola products do not have Bluetooth except Blackberry. Plus who wants to carry around a brick in their pocket? I'm a woman and typically carry v3 in my purse but sometimes for convenience I just want to put it in my jean pocket. And I forget it's there...This v3 has superior browser technology, email and text messaging, good camera and great voice record. Yes, the address book is different but you get used to it. Anyways, I only put important people that I call frequently in address book so it's not a problem for me. I primarily make lots of calls and like to check news and send a few text messages.

] | Sexy form... CHECK. Innovative construction... CHECK. Exclusive price tag... CHECK. In a sea of flip phones and candy bar phones that all look alike, the RAZR V3 is the Ferrari of mobile phones and stands out as such. If you're looking for a feature rich phone, then the V3 is not for you as a V600 will provide the same features for far less. But if you want a high-quality constructed phone that screams, "look at me, I'm a sexy b*tch," then the V3 is up your alley.Actually, a better analogy would be: The Acura NSX of mobile phones. Like the NSX, I feel the V3 is a marketing tool for Motorola. It's their way of saying, "We're known for inexpensive phones, but, look, we can build stylish, well-crafted, high-end phones too!"Unless wireless technology improves from GSM, the V3 is a phone that I can definitely keep for more than 2 years. The styling, design, and construction is just that good (I upgraded from a trusty and reliable, yet mediocre Nokia 3360 TDMA phone).There's been quite a debate about the construction of the V3 and the best explanation that I've heard is that the bottom backside (below the battery cover) and the lower front is plastic for the antenna. It certainly makes perfect sense to me (unless the metal frame IS the antenna) as all the other areas are cold to touch (in this weather) while those areas are usually room temperature. Furthermore, it would be misrepresentation on Motorola's part to advertise it as such. Regardless, this phone may seem flimsy, but it's very solid -- there is no comparison w/ my old Nokia 3360 and my girlfriend's V551.Mikey's likeys:1- The mini-USB port. This is great for single-point access for data and charging -- it's simple and should be a mobile phone standard!2- The Bluetooth connectivity. Coming from a wired hands-free setup, my Bluetooth headset (a Jabra BT250) is a godsend. I can leave the V3 charging in my home office and still be connected in the living room. (SIDE NOTE: stay away from from the D-Link Bluetooth USB adapter for PC connectivity and get the Belkin F8T001 adapter -- read my review on the D-Link for details)3- Quad band. Doubtful that I'll ever use this feature/benefit, but those two words will certainly impress all around you.4- The speakerphone. I've been a non-believer of mobile phone speakerphones, but I've got to admit, the V3's speaker phone is the bomb. It's loud and clear (but not loud enough for the car). My girlfriend tells me that I sound better w/ the V3 speakerphone than w/ my old Nokia 3360 and wired headset setup. When I don't have my Bluetooth headset, I'm spoiled w/ the speakerphone.5- The internal display. Going to the V3 from the Nokia 3360 is a leap of spacial proportions and after a couple of weeks, I have found myself to be spoiled w/ large internal display. And not only that, the V3 has an ATI IMAGEON graphics accelerator! All other phones (excluding PDA phones) pale in comparison in this regard.Mikey's no-likeys:1- No memory expansion. I don't see myself using up all 5MB of internal memory, but an SD/MMC card expansion slot would be nice. Maybe Motorola (or somebody else -- maybe myself) will come out w/ a mini-USB adapter for this purpose.2- Poorly written owner's manual. I have found that the owner's manual is more like a reference manual and sometimes leaves you figuring things out on your own. It does not explain how to use many common features that owners (especially ones new to Motorola phones) use. Instead, it lists all the features and expects you to put 1 and 1 together. It's like the "C++ Reference" vs "Learn How to Program in C++ in 21 Days." Maybe Motorola's technical writers are just to technical?3- Drops and dings. Like any "Ferrari," I'll probably go into a week-long mourning the first time I drop or ding the phone. I'm hoping there will be [good] cases available to protect my V3 while it juggles around w/ keys in my pocket. (SIDE NOTE: I have heard that Cingular / Lockline is not insuring this phone, but my Cingular sales guy was hesitant sell me the phone unless I bought the insurance)4- No EDGE. My girlfriend's $99 Motorola v551 has EDGE. Shame, shame, shame Motorola. Bad Motorola. Bad, bad, bad. Alas, it's akin to buying a $160k Ferrari 360 Modena and having a cheap $20 factory stereo system (or paying $90k for an Acura NSX and it's only 290hp).5- Internal display colors. I was all hyped up to hear about 260k colors, but Motorola's specs after some detective footwork is 65k colors, but up to 260k colors in MPEG-4 video playback. Very, very, sneaky and mis-leading indeed.Wishlist:1- I wished there was a PocketPC smart phone version of this phone. PocketPC + V3 form factor = perfection.Regarding multiple numbers for one name in the review below -- you can set the phonebook to display only primary numbers by:1- setting the primary number for all the names that have multiple numbers (you don't have to do this if a name only has one number);2- set the address book view to "Primary Contacts" in Phonebook Menu >>> Phonebook Setup >>> View;3- voila, only primary numbers are displayed.The way Motorola has implemented this is not very intuitive as Nokia's implementation (refer to my owner's manual dis-like above), but I have found Motorola's implementation to be a little more robust.UPDATE: It's been nearly three weeks since I've bought this phone and no buyer's remorse. | 5 | The Ferrari of Mobile Phones | 1,100,995,200 | 11 21, 2004 |

] | I've had this phone for a while now and here's what I think.The User Interface has had a bad rap from some people, and yes, it's not as intuitive as say, Nokia's interface, but it does have some pros. You can customize every button, including all 4 arrows, and the left and right soft keys. I have my left soft key programmed to go to "Shortcuts" and I have every function I need right there. And of course, after a while of use, you will get used to the interface.The volume of the phone is decent. I have no problems hearing other people, and they have no problems hearing me. Speakerphone works great too. My boyfriend says that he no longers feels like he's talking to someone in a tunnel when I use speakerphone for our calls. The only volume problem I can see is that at the highest volume (7), it is still slightly hard to hear your phone ring. One other thing - this phone has way cool ringtones.The address book issue is this: If you use your SIM card to store your addresses, then no, you will not be able to have multiple entries for one person. But if you use your phone's memory to store your numbers, you can have many many numbers stored to each entry. I have all of my numbers stored on my Powerbook's address book, so I'm not too worried about having them on my SIM card. And if you have a MAC, iSync works wonders with syncing numbers/calendars to the RAZR....now THAT'S cool!The screen is very large and clear. I have no problems seeing it in dark or even bright light. I have had no problems with reception with Cingular so far. In fact, I have a stronger signal in most places than my previous phone (Nokia 6230)Overall, I am very pleased with the design, functions, and asthetics of this phone. | 5 | So far, so great! | 1,132,099,200 | 11 16, 2005 |
