Good Points

Good price and good range from this new 1.2 standard phone.


Bad Points

Buggy operation, battery so-and-so, even manual shipped with errors, can't charge and use simultaneously


General Comments

My first headset shouldn't have been too exciting, just charge-wear-forget. The range is fine (or great, can penetrate a couple of my walls). Unfortunately the battery life has been over-stated by Motorola (as usual), but by far the biggest problem of the headset (and I don't think its just MY headset) is the Blue Led of Death: the device seems to be moody and "lock" in some states occasionally, can't turn on or can't turn off or can't pair and stuff; If it was some other device I'd try the reset button or would remove the battery, options that don't seem to be available. Resolution of the locked states is usually a matter of a few minutes and plugging/unplugging the charger, occasionally I had to leave it alone for half an hour. I use it with two devices, so you may have more joy if you use it with only one.

Finally, there seems to be no available Bluetooth 1.2 device to pair it with, so I can't tell you if the promised advantages of the 1.2 standard will be delivered with this one.
