I spent the time reading the reviews (Amazon and others)and decided this was what I wanted and after using it I am very pleased. When my old reliable Sony/Erickson bluetooth headset disapeared in an airport somewhere between Houston and Boston, I realized just how much I had been transformed by the freedom and convenience a wireless headset provides. I am a particular fan of voice dialing my phone when I am in the car. Even though you are still going to be somewhat distracted from the road by your conversation, it is much safer to be able to touch a button on the earpiece and dial up whoever you want without fumbling with or looking at your phone. I use a blackberry 8300 (Curve) with this and am really pleased with the way they work together. By the way, the voice recognition software on the Curve is great and I would highly recommend it for that feature alone. I made the first change from a regular phone to a smartphone via the Samsung Blackjack. Nice phone but to my amazement found that it has no voice dialing feature.Things I like about this headset:It is extremely comfortable and never falls off my ear.The battery life is great.The volume adjustent is easy to use.The earpiece fits well in my ear and is easy to hear in noisy environments.I hear almost no complaints from people I'm talking to about wind or other background noise.It is sturdy and durable.One quirk I have found is that it is cumbersome to turn on and off. The power button on mine is hard to press.I would buy another one of these no questions asked if I lost this one.
