Summary: Easy setup, ergonomics by Torquemada
Review: "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition..." especially in a headset. First there was the Rack. Then the Iron Maiden. Now it's the Nokia headset. Painful to wear, even for a single call. The headset loops are not two sizes as some of the reviews here state- they are "left" and "right" - the loop you use depends on the ear you wish to wear the headset over. Both are too small for any ear except perhaps those found on a small Asian man or American child. No padding on the loop or the earpiece at all. Just hard plastic. Pressed against your ear.

Setup was a breeze - took an entire 2 minutes.

The Bluetooth connection drops sometimes when calls are ended. Yea, I use the headset, but not as often as I used my old Jabra headset with my last phone. The Jabra was an original model, and would not work with the this phone (a fact the Jabra site skips.) The Jabra was much more comfortable, but I thought it was a compatibility issue with Jabra - not an older vs newer Jabra headset, so I ordered the Nokia.

The Nokia does NOT include a charger - you need to use the phone charger. Handy because I can use the car charger or home charger. Not handy if the phone is charging. It's cool that you can access the last number dialed, voice dial, answer a call and more from the headset, but the limited battery life is a disappointment.

Summary: Awesome
Review: A little bit more expensive than other bluetooth headsets in the market, it's the best! I spent days to research for one for my Nokia 3650, then got the Jabra BT200, didn't work out (Jabra says that the older version doesn't support Nokia 3650). Then I decided I should really stick with Nokia.

I hesitated at the beginning because I didn't like the color scheme, but then I got over it. It is much much smaller and lighter then I expected. I realized that I don't really look like someone wearing a big gold earring as I thought I would be.

It works with my Nokia 3650 like a charm. I have read reviews saying that the ear loop/ring tends to break, I guess I will have to wait and see. It does look a little bit fragile.

The 1 star that it doesn't get is for the color scheme and the seems-to-be-fragile ear loop.

Summary: Do NOT Under and Circumstance Buy This Item
Review: Bought this as I hoped it would save me from the new no-phone while driving laws. Problem is (a) battery life is non-existent - seems to last 15 to 30 minutes at best, (b) buttons are too small - hard to know when it's on/off, let alone alter the volume, (c) very hard to get the clips - I tried both sizes - on my ears consistently, (d) the clips are infuriating - not talking about abuse here - just put it in the glovebox or in your jacket, and next time you look the clips will be broken - everytime in the same place - Nokia has designed a lemon, and should be producing a workable, comfortable clip to salvage its appalling product here. My supplier (not Amazon) doesn't want to know and, just to add insult to injury - their only "solution" of new clips doesn't work. They're always out of stock. Never, ever, ever buy this product - I would not even pay a dollar for it.

Summary: Self-destructed after 1 week; Performance only fair
Review: Consistent with other reviews on the HDW-2, the plastic ear loop will break no matter how well you care for it. Until Nokia redesigns this part and/or improves customer service, I would strongly recommend against purchasing the HDW-2. Calling Nokia customer service is very frustrating since the consumer pays to return the original defective parts and then must wait for a replacement. Clearly Nokia is unwilling to directly address this problem. Otherwise performance of the HDW-2 is fair. Reception is reasonably good with some intermittent static. Occasionally, the phone and HDW-2 will lose their connection for no apparent reason.

Summary: Does NOT work with all 3650s
Review: I bought this headset specifically because apprently my 3650 doesn't play well with bluetooth accessories, and this one says its compatable. Well, it isnt. I could never get it to pair with my phone. I know that bluetooth works on my phone because I connect it to my computer regularly.

After talking to Nokia, they said that the "firmware" in my phone was an old version, and so this headset wouldn't work with my phone after all. Be wary of buying this headset.

Summary: Works Great, When it Works!!!!!
Review: I have used this unit for a couple of months with a Nokia 6310i phone and would like to share my experience.

First of all, the ear hanger is fragile and needs to be treated with some care. If you follow the instructions you should have no problems. However, be very careful how you handle the unit when you are not using it as something as simple as placing this in your coat or shirt pocket could break the hanger if the unit is bumped or twisted in the pocket.

Seoondly, the battery life is no where near what Nokia claims. I tend to get about 24-30 hours in standby and usually less than 1 hour of talk time. I charged the unit and then called Nokia tech support and in less than 15 minutes the headset was giving me a low battery warning. It then charged back to full in less than 5 minutes. Clearly there is a problem either with my unit, or with the design.

If you are considering this unit due to Nokia's reputation you may want to look at other bluetooth headsets before you purchase this model. On the other hand this unit works great when it works, just keep a charger nearby at all times.

Summary: It seems just fine to me..
Review: I recently reviewed the Nokia 3650 phone and would be remiss to no say anything about the 1st accessory that I purchased for it , this headset. I went to Nokia's website to purchase this item but it was out of stock so I oreder the Japanese/Asian version from a shop that specializes in cell phone accessories. Like the other reviewers said its a breeze to set up with the 3650. I think it took me all of 3 mins. I have what I consider, regular size ears and the headset is comfy for brief uses. I only wear it on my ride to and from work (a 20-30 mins trip). Its very light and a lot smaller then you would think by looking at the photos. It reception and range is great. I usually keep the phone in my glovebox in the car and my headset in my ear. The range is about 20-30 ft before the signalk get bad and at about 40 ft the signal breaks off. That means I can (if I have the right parking spot) get out my cae , walk into dunkin donuts for coffee and stop by the newspaper box and get back in the car without loosing my signal and I do this several morinngs on the way to work. Calls can be answered and ended and vol raised and lowered all on the headset. For the price I paid (...) for this item I think its worth it. It only lost one star because the battery cover seems kinds flimsy and it comes off when I put the unit in my pocket with change and /or keys in there. Also forgot to mention that the phone recarger also recharges the headset .

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good headset but VERY VERY, bad design
Review: It's a breeze to setup up this headset to work with Nokia 3650 but the design is so poor that it's not worth buying when there are so many other well designed sets.

The 'earhook' not only hurts, it is very delicate and I broke the larger one. The small one fits only infants! The engineer who designed the 'earhook' must have very very tiny ears! I used super glue to stick it but it keeps breaking every other day. I am not able to find any one selling an extra large size or a spare one. So, I need to design something that works for me!

Functionally, it's great and works fine and is very loud and clear. You can control volume from the headset and answer the call from the headset. Also, you can use the same charger used for the phone. If you have 'tiny' ears go for it!
