I generally keep it closed and open it to answer or make a call, unless I happen to have it on my ear already. So yes, that works. I had an HS-810 previously and it was much less satisfactory in this and other ways.
Just so we have the terminology of Bluetooth straight: Pairing is something that is done once to establish the relationship between headset and phone. What you're asking about is Connecting, and the h700 in my experience takes about 2 seconds to Connect judging by when the little icon changes on the Treo from the Bluetooth symbol to the headset symbol. The boom flip for on/off is a HUGE plus for me (user interface is a big deal to me, as those of you who've read my rants against one picky but terribly important part of Windows Mobile by now know), as is the battery life, which is amazing. The sound quality is no worse and no better than any other Bluetooth headset I've owned, and I've owned about 8 different ones at this point including Motorola, Sony, Plantronics, Treo (made by Plantronics), Samsung, Jabra and Jawbone. I can't remember the models of all of those, but they're all within the last 3 years and they're all GONE (or being sold on Craig's List) except the H700.

Boom closed: off. How fast does it pair up when you turn it on? IOW, when the phone rings, can you open the boom on the headset and it'll immediately connect and take the call? I had, briefly, a Moto flip-boom headset, I don't recall which model. I couldn't bring it back to the store fast enough because in order to be able to answer the call with it, the boom had to be open (and thus the headset on) +before+ the phone rang. And the flip on the boom was a joke, it would not survive any lateral force, as it would be subjected to in a pocket even if closed. And it didn't have enough volume. > I don't really understand why, but on Amazon.com it seems to sell for > $52.94, $62.64, $35.95, $58.95, $63.90, $56.95, $59.99 and $67.35. > Maybe it's like airline tickets or something?
