Summary: make sure you get the box with the 3650/S55 sticker
Review: Even though this phone is specifically listed as working with the 3650, Amazon sent me the wrong box (without the sticker) and the unit doesn't work with my phone. I went to my local AT&T wireless store and picked up one that works fine.

Summary: NOT for Nokia 3650
Review: I just received my Freespeak today (August12) and it DOES NOT WORK with a Nokia 3650, contrary to label on this item.

It sure looks cool, though.

Summary: just a thought, not a review
Review: I owned the "older" version of Jabra FreeSpeak (I bought it 1 yr ago, so I think it's old enough) and it works great with my T-68i.

From what I learned that apparently Nokia has a different "bluetooth profile" implemented in the 3650 ( a rarely implemented one called "handsfree" profile, but is a better improvement over the older "headset").

Basically "handsfree" alows for voice activation from Bluetooth headsets (plus some other goodies).

Unfortunately, most of the so called "bluetooth" phones sold today only support "headset" mode (so does older Jabra Freespeak). I just checked out Jabra's web site and they have the same product listed as "support headset and handsfree profiles". However, they did not have a new produc name or even a version number to indicate the difference. Guess this creates some confusions. How do I know if my Freespeak is the new one that supports both profiles ??

Summary: Don't even bother
Review: I purchased this headset for use with my Motorola T720. It is not a bluetooth enabled phone, but the cradle that headset comes with makes it compatible with any phone with a 2.5mm headset jack. I have to admit that I was completely astonished with the functionality of this product. It was mediocre at best. I was sitting in my vehicle, with the cradle on my belt, and the headset lost signal. It says it has a range of up to 30ft, but at 5ft it lost signal. The sound quality was good, but without the constant fear of losing signal, I couldn't justify the cost of a wireless headset. A good handsfree kit for the vehicle would cost about the same amount of money without the fear of lost signal.

Summary: Confirming: DOES NOT WORK WITH 3650!!
Review: It has a series of flaky behaviors with the 3650. It is nominally compatible but in practice very difficult to make work. The biggest problem is the phone won't ring when the headset is in "connected" mode. It will just vibrate. If you keep in in "disconnected" mode it takes 10-20 seconds to connect so better hope whoever is calling you waits a long time after you pick up (and there is no sound) and it doesn't go to voicemail. Jabra tech support at first claimed it was a feature - "thats the way all headsets work" - yeah right! His suggestion was a) wear the headset all day long (you can hear the ringing thru the headset) b) keep the phone in your pocket all the time so you feel the vibration. Then when pushed he claimed they are working on fixes. It irks me that I bought this because [it is] listed ... as compatible, ...
The other weakness is that the little eargel falls off very easily in your pocket or if it hits something, so its a pain not to lose it. Otherwise it is comfortable and the sound quality is pretty decent on speaker and microphone.
Look at other headsets ...
thanks,
Lon

Summary: Fantastic device that is also very safe and practical
Review: 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!

Summary: *Does* work with Nokia 3650
Review: The Jabra Bluetooth headset is one of the greatest purchases I have ever made.

I just picked up a Nokia 3650 with AT&T service.

I'm pretty techincally inclined, but the Jabra headset gave me a little trouble. It took me about an hour to get it tweaked. The thing is near perfect.

Pros:
- The range is incredible
- The earpiece is loud and clear
- The ringtones play through the earpiece
- Easy to recieve and end calls
- Battery life is fantastic

Cons:
- Microphone is a little too short in length
- Disconnects randomly sometimes (instantly reconnects, but a little annoying)

Summary: The Best Bluetooth Headset, EVER.
Review: I use a Nokia 3650 and this headset. The people saying it doesn't work are sadly not paying attention to what Jabra tells them.

Yes, they upgraded these to work with Bluetooth Handsfree audio profiles, not just Bluetooth Headset. You can do BOTH with the Jabra, you just have to pair it differently. Jabra tech support can tell you if the date code on your BT200 works with the 3650. If not, send it back into Jabra.

It takes about a week. And, you get a new headset, to boot!

Summary: Works with 3650? Don't believe it!!!
Review: I purchased this item recently to use with my Nokia 3650 (an amazing phone, btw). One would think that when Amazon lists the
headset as being compatable with the 3650, it might actually work.

That's not the case at all, I'm afraid.

Apparently, you need to have the cute little blue sticker on the outside of the box for it to work. To their credit, Jabra offered to cross-ship the unit, and Amazon is going to send me a pre-paid return label and will refund my purchase price and shipping.

All that's nice, but I'm pretty miffed that I have to mess around with all of this.
