?? Apart from possible time lag issue for answering call, I thought Jabra BT800 was praised for use with Exec (and XDA IIs) ??

Anyone heard anything to corroborate above?

I'll sell you mine. I used it for the first time today and I think my ear is a little small for it.

I bought it on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5827236759&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) just the other day and I had a problem with the cover so I RMA'd it. I received a new one, which is fine, yesterday and used it for the first time today.

I have one as well.

Works very well, but I dont use it, so for a reasonable offer, I can send it with all the bits.

Jabra had a batch though thats all.

>>I had a problem with the cover<< - this may be what the company were referring to.

if by problem with the cover you mean the front cover came off, the same thing happened to the one i brought off of eBay! so i sent it back and got a new one, then the front came off of that when i used it for an hour. I put a bit of glue on the one connecting joint and its been perfect ever since!!

I noticed another strange thing with my BT800.

My customers can hear some of my ringtone when I answer a call via the headset. Now, you may think this is not big deal, but when your ringtone is the song, "I like to move it, move it.", this can be a BAD thing!

I have a Motorola 850 and this isn't an issue.

I thought that MS Voice Command was causing the problem due to the annoucing but it doesn't happen w/ the MoTo 850.


Now, the BT800 is supposed to be upgradable so I'd like to see Jabra put out an update to fool the universal into thinking it's a stereo device. Maybe then Voice Command will work via BT. (That is if my understanding of the problem is correct.)

I just recieved mine today didnt even get out of the box in one piece, faceplate problem again.

What a crock of $hit :x

I think this is a better option than the Jabra BT800. They both have displays and cheaper too:

I would like to see that headset on someones head. See if it looks good. Only thing I dont like is the fact that the OLED screen is on the outside of the headset so everyone can see what number your calling. Though it looks like its a lot better than Jabra.
