Summary: Don't Buy Gray Market
Review: I had the sad experience of buying this item from an internet retailer as an 'open box' return, supposedly inspected by Jabra, certified, and resold. Not true. The item arrived DOA and I got the sobering news from Jabra that the item was not under warranty. The retailer lied. Licking my wounds, I bought new, and have been thrilled since the conclusion of the 3 hours it took to charge the first time. Sound clarity is incredible. I have no ambitions to roam about the house, but I can roam about the room. And, being wireless transforms the experience of talking and driving. As a hard-core user of cell phones, I give this an unqualified 5 stars when paired with a bluetooth compatible phone. People I'm talking to are often surprised when they discover I'm on a cell phone. YES! They can hear me now!

Summary: Great gadget to have!
Review: I have been using Jabra FreeSpeak headset for the last 5 months with SonyEricsson T610 phone. Setup took me about 10 minutes, and fairly straightforward. I was amazed the clarity of sound quality, and nobody could tell that I was using headset. Battery life was fair, and I normally charge every other day. This thing works much better than untangling headset wire in the middle of traffic. Extremely happy to own one.

Summary: Worth Every Penny!!
Review: I have been using my jabra freespeak for almost 3 months now and have been nothing but impressed with it. I can leave my phone on my desk, walk across the room, and still hear with perfect clarity (NOKIA 3650). I never got out the measuring tape, but it's minimally 20 feet away that I've gone. Can't walk out of the room, though.
I have long hair, so I just tuck the little guy underneath my hair and it stays put for hours- unlike regular hands free units that fall out the minute my hair falls across the wire, or as soon as I turn my head too far one way or the other. And the little ear buds are interchangeable so you can find one that fits comfortably. Battery life is excellent, and I can interchange my cell phone's charger with the jabra, so I charge my freespeak in the car when I need to as well.
There isn't one thing I can honestly say I do not like about this device. I can recommend it with a sincere 5 stars.

Summary: Great headset
Review: I have been using this headset for about 2 months now, and have had very good results. It's comfortable, easy to operate, and most importantly - the wireless design keeps me using it whenever I'm driving. I can't speak towards battery life as I charge the unit almost on a daily basis.The only drawbacks I can point to are: - Because of the wireless design, it's easy to misplace - It's a little big to wear anywhere but in the car without feeling like too much of a geek - Every now and then, the unit loses it's bluetooth pairing with the phone - though I think that may be more of a phone issue. I simply have to re-pair it again. Regardless, it has changed my habits concerning using a hands-free unit. I tried about 8 wired ones, and could never get myself in enough of a habit to plug it in and clip it on - plus they always got wrapped up in the seat belt. Wireless is so much more comfortable. highly recommended.

Summary: THIS is the version to get....for additional features
Review: I have the Jabra BT200....the UPDATED version...and I am quite pleased with it. It is light weight at less than an ounce, comfortable fitting behind the ear with the ear plug resting gently against the ear canal. Volume on the lowest setting it better than the volume coming directly from the Sony Ericsson T616. In the last several months there has been a great deal of confusion regarding the BT200 because there are two versions of the headset. The original supports only the the headset profile of Bluetooth, while the later version supports both the headset and handsfree profiles. The later version of the headset began to be shipped by jabra in June 2003 and carries firmware version 21B or higher. You won't know you are getting the later version unless there is a blue sticker on the outside of the box that says, "Now compatible with Nokia 3650 and Siemens S55". Even if you have a Bluetooth cell phone other than the Nokia or the Siemens, this is still the one to get because with the newer firmware, there are enhanced features for _all_ bluetooth phones. If you get the later version, there will be a blue card in the box that says, "Enhanced Features". Once you have completed "pairing" the phone by holding down the button with the phone icon AND the Volume Up button....remember, BOTH buttons must be held down to "pair" the phone...you will then have the following enhnced features: ..Last number redial (when not on a call) ..Rejecting an incoming call (when not on a call) ..Call-waiting (swapping between two calls) ..Putting a call on hold If you have a voice dial enabled phone you will love that feature on the headset. I found I did _not_ have to retrain the voice entries on the headset to make outgoing calls. Hope this helps.

Summary: Wow. Simply wow.
Review: I received this as a gift Christmas 2003. And I was 'wow'-ed. It's amazing. I have a Sony Ericcson T610, and, unlike a previous review, it works amazingly well. I can roam into the lower part of my house, and still be using it clearly. I also, now, use it with iChat from Apple with Mac OS X to communicate with people online. Many people, if they do realize I have the headset on, are shocked to find out it's a headset, and not a hearing impaired device. It's not really hidden, they just assume you have to be 'wired' to talk to people on the phone. It responds to voice activated calling, as well, so I can even tell my phone to dial someone when I don't even know where the phone is! 'spect!

Summary: Love it!!
Review: I recently purchased this for use with my Sony Ericcson T610- and love it. It's easy to use. I leave my phone in my purse and dial using voice command. The piece was bigger than I expected, but fit omfortably in/on my ear. When putting it on, it does not look large at all. Sound quality is about equivalent to speaking directly on the phone. No wires, more freedom of movement. The battery life is great, I usually charge every other day-- have not tested to see how long it will go before the battery runs out. There is a blue LED light that is on so you can visibily see that it is on. It's definitely fun to own but also becoming an item of convenience in my life!!

Summary: Get the new BT250 instead
Review: I tried two new BT200 with my Nokia 3650 and was about 90% satisfied. This was much better than a Plantronics and even a Nokia headset in terms of clarity. However, it did not always work well in triggering voice dialing with my phone. After talking to Jabra they claimed that the headset was defective. However, with a 2nd new headset having this problem I am returning the BT200. As of March 1,2004 Jabra came out with the new BT250. I give this one 4.5 stars. It costs the same, but seems to have most of the bugs worked out. Now I'm about 98% satisfied. The sound quality is noticeably improved. The voice dialing works flawlessly. The battery life is greater. There are rare moments where voice get's a little raspy and rare moments when I browse the internet that my headset decides to disconnect. But they are rare and even when they occur it's not a big deal because I can see it disconnect and can easily reconnect. I've never had a disconnect occur when in normal phone mode. For those not satisfied with the Jabra, another expensive possibility is a bluespoon headset made by (www.nextlink.to) or (alphanet.zoovy.com). It's outrageosly expensive ($289+) but from the mp3 demo they provide, it sounds phenomonally good in noise level. My impression is that the bluespoon digital headset is no clearer in the voice part than the Jabra, but is much better in cancelling out ambient noise than anything, including wired headsets and even the actual handset itself. Please understand that I haven't tried out the bluespoon personally, but have only listened to the mp3 demo and compared it to the sound quality of my BT250. The other plus of the bluespoon is that it's the closest in look to a hearing aid. The microphone is a small nub on the hearing aid that is actually 2 microphones for focusing the reception on your voice. People looking at you will not at all suspect that this is a headset. It looks like some kind of decorative beetle or odd earing than any electronic device. If you have long hair you won't see it at all. It's just that this headset is so expensive. A slightly larger version and much less expensive version is sold called the bluespoon Chameleon ($119). It's sound quality is probably close to the Jabra BT250. I suspect it might be slightly noiser than the BT250 because it doesn't have the long obvious microphone nor does it have the noise cancelling of the $289 version.

Summary: A bit of a learning curve
Review: I'm a no cables type of person. So, when Amazon bundled the 3650 and the Jabra FreeSpeak together, I was sold. At first, I battled to get the device paired. This is more due to the lack of standardized implementation of the bluetooth protocol across various phones. Once I managed to get the pairing sorted out, it worked great on both my old T68i and my new 3650. It seems to give priority to the T68i when it comes into proximity with both devices at the same time. It takes a bit of getting used to. If the device is not switched on when you receive a call, some fumbling is required to connect it. This fumbling is considerably more distracting than, say, plugging in a standard cable headset. I also found that it is easy to inadvertently deactive the headset when adjusting the volume. Once used to it, I started loving it. In fact, I have now managed to get it to pair with my notebook and use it for VOIP on Skype. That said battery life is limited (I get about 90 min of talk time) and the need to lug the (small) charger with when travelling is kind of frustrating as it brings back the whole cable issue. I now have a little box full of various chargers that travel with me. It gets three stars, not because it is a bad product but because bluetooth is simply not a well-thought out technology with standardized implementations.
