This animal is fantastic. Fool that I was I was using a headset with a wire. Every time I turned me head the ear piece would fall out. If I did not turn me head I still had the feeling that this thing was just waiting to strangle me.I reluctantly went to the Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset to find what life could be without a wire. All I had to do was initially charge it. The phone did all the rest for me; it located the headset and immediately started to use it. I have it set for one ring tome just to alert me and then it answers. There is virtually no background noise so you have to say "Hello". The voice comes in clear and loud enough to use in noisy areas. However I just tell the caller to hold on and go to a more appropriate location if I am on foot. I do not want to be accused of being rude or talking to my self. When in the car the warning gives I time to turn the radio off and the caller can not detect that I am mobile. Again I try to make care calls curt or call back from a static location. Other mobile commuters do not get offended by me having a hand up to me ear as I change lanes with out signaling.I keep the phone on my belt but never have to pull it out. I seldom make out-going calls however the phone and the headset are designed to make voice dialing instructions and still not have to pull the phone out. At home I leave the phone on a book case across the room and the headset still works well. When I feel like being a recluse all I have to do is fold the headset and it is turned off.
