In my experience, it makes for a lousy function, because after flipping the boom to turn it on, you then have to wait for it to pair. By the time that happens, the incoming call has gone to voicemail. IMO, that boom should be an answer/disconnect function, not an on/off function. Also in my experience, with two different Treos, it doesn't matter if the BT is connected to anything or not, what matters for power usage is if it's on or off, and potentially if using the phone or not. I could be wrong on that one, as my actual phone usage is rather light. > Anyway, the H700 is inferior to the Plantronics in sound volume and quality. > I'm pretty stunned by how bad the Treo/Centro Bluetooth implementation must > be, given that if I have the Treo/Centro on one side of my head and the > headset on the other, there is too much static to hear the call.

That's a common thing, at least with Treos, where having the handset and headset on opposite sides of the body causes static. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol "They're merely expressing their feelings for me."
