After reading the review I got one of these yesterday -- I'm taking it back today. While the noise cancelling made me sound as if I was in "a large empty room" (I didn't test it outside) I was told it was "slightly echoey." I could certainly make out what my friend was saying from the other end but I found the sound quality quite poor -- rather like a fuzz-tone guitar; my friend agreed it sounded the same on his end. Not at all the expected quality for the price ($140 @ J&R). My Motorola at about 1/3 the price sounded better (though my friends don't really like that one either).
Great idea, still not there -- at least not in the unit I got. Still looking... DY
