The following features are copied and pasted from the Jabra site:
Faster speech channel handling – the call is transferred to the headset faster
Faster reaction on Key-presses during incoming call
The missing international prefix "+" is displayed in your caller list thus allowing you to dial out from your Jabra BT800

I confim all above is true

Hello,

Is the jabra bt 800 only display the phone number of the caller or display the contact name when the contact is register in the contact book ?

The Jabra BT 800 shows only the caller ID "the phone number of the caller" but not the contact name when the contact is registered in the contact book.

I sent an email to their technical support to ask them if we can expect any up-grade which can allow the name of the caller to appear on the screen, and I expect their reply after the Christmas holidays.
When I get any reply from them I will paste it here.

The upgrade if worth doing. Sound reception more realistic and pick-up quality nice and loud. One obvious change to the menus - easier access to the menus.

if stored in the phone contact is not shown with the Universal. With other phones it works great. You don't see the number, you see the name.

With other phone who are not PDA phone or only other phone than universal ?

SE P910 for example will show name of person calling

You should also look at the tekkeon ET3000: http://www.tekkeon.com/site/products-ez3000.php

I'm having real trouble doing this.

As soon as I release the end button, the "DFU mode" dissapears off the screen, it seems to reboot then says charging?

And as for the upgrade thing, it won't let me press next?

Having problems with the new upgrade. Now my BT800 headset does not vibrate when I get an incoming call. Wonder if there is a way to reverse the upgrade. Anyone else having this issue as well?

Wow, I have the same issue as the setting would revert back to audio alert even after i set it to vibrate??? I have also experienced frequent static sounds and choppy reception since the upgrade...anyways to reverse it??

Thanks
:cry:

I've just upgraded mine without any problems..

The DFU disappeared on mine as well and you should then see/hear the sound of a USB device being added.. once that has happened, the "upgrade thing" then recognises your BT800 and will allow you to press "Next"..

Vibration works fine on mine after the upgrade.. Don't want to appear sarcastic/rude/stating the obvious, but you DID switch Vibrate mode back on AFTER the firmware upgrade ? :)

(Settings > Ring Type > Silent >Vibrate Alert > ON)

My BT800 upgrade worked okay. Better voice pick-up, so looks like they have improved their DSP s/w.

With the new firmware, the headset does not vibrate until you select silent as ringtone.

Thats not true,
Go to Menu
Settings
Ring Type
Normal
Ok
You will be promoted to the vibration option.
Thats it.

The vibrate function also works if the Ring Tone is set to "From Phone".

Thanks for the note, Taiseer. Don't know whether it will make any difference: my BT800 was a Christmas present. :D

I think the missing transfer of names to the headset (instead of just numbers) is a Universal problem, not a headset problem. Hopefully future ROM upgrades by O2 or whoever will add this feature for us.

I've managed to update mine now, I don't think it likes working on 2k server!

I tried it on an XP 32bit system and it worked first time :D

I like how the menu is accessable without pressing that strange blue button!

As for vibrate, go to settings > ring type > normal

Then it says Vibrate Yes / No

Yes, you can downgrade back to ver.0021

The Vibra will work again, but the sound\phone answer delay will get worth
