Summary: Second call: Don't buy it here!
Review: Because I'd received a damaged headset (see my Oct-2003 review), I've returned it since I think it is a good idea to give people a second chance. Believe or not: I've received again a second damaged headset. Sorry for this late update review, but certainly, I've just given up. Let's be optimists, I suggest this good story to Dilbert :-)

Summary: Headset doesn't charge ... a known issue. Don't buy it
Review: I've just received it yesterday and the light for the headset goes off after 10-15 seconds. I've checked the contacts for headset were connected to the charger correctly. I've read the manual (yeah, believe or not). Unfortunately the unit will not charge. I went to Logitech website (yeah, first thing I should do before, but...) and, surprise... it is a known issue for two users. I'm wondering if they also bought it through Amazon.com. I was unable to find out if Logitech answered their questions.
DON'T BUY IT IF YOU CAN'T TEST IT BEFORE, in other words: Don't buy it here, in Amazon.com

Summary: Well made but audio could be better
Review: The ergonomics are good and the hardware seems well made. The only complaint I have with the hardware is that the transmitter doesn't clip to my Motorola phone. The 2.5mm plug works just fine, but the transmitter dangles from the phone with no clip or anything (unless I want to use the bulky in-car mount). I think Logitech makes a special version for Nokia phones that clips on???

As for charging...no problems!!!

The headset switches to standby after only 3-5 minutes of non-use, but is easily turned on with a single touch. You should charge the unit every night, or at least every 2-days, because the battery in the headset is short lived.

The range is excellent (about the same as an old analog cordless phone), but the sound is only okay. It is very susceptible to interference, even at close range, and there is an annoying echo between the mic and the headset speaker. The person on the other line doesn't sense this, but it is aggravating to hear your own voice .1 second delayed. Frankly, for the price of this unit I would have expected better audio. However, I like the device for the gadget-factor, and it is usable.

If you are wondering if the 2.5mm version uses a standard Bluetooth connection between the base and headset - it doesn't... That would have contributed significantly to the gadget-factor!!!!
