Reviews:

Static on the other endRating: 2
I am using this device with a Polycom landline phone.

Trying the 3 settings I can get a decent connection on my end with a separate Bluetooth earpiece, where I hear the other party fine with little noise and no echo.

But on the far end, even landline to landline, there is an annoying whine and some echo, no matter what the setting. This isn't good enough, I prefer to use the corded headset.

I am returning this product to Amazon.
Flimsy connector wiringRating: 1
After about 1 month of use, as I have read in other reviews, I can tell that the connector wire from the phone to the unit has a poor connection at the end that comes from the A210 unit. If I wiggle it I can sometimes get a clear and louder connection, otherwise it is a low and muffled reception. That is not what I expected to pay for. I read the reviews but I had to see for myself.
Use your Bluetooth headset with your cell AND office phoneRating: 4
I bought a Motorola H700 to use with my Cingular 2125 cell phone. I thought with this device I could also use the headset with my office phone. IT WORKS! I turn off bluetooth on my cell and turn on the Jabra. When I leave I turn off the Jabra and turn bluetooth on in my cell. It takes about 1-2 minutes for the headset to work with my cell but that's fine.

My only complaint is that the velcro they give you doesn't work (not sticky enough). But for me the belt clip works fine as I use a cordless and don;t mind clipping them both on when I want to roam. This also ensures that my range is good because I'm never far from the Jabra.

My experience with bluetooth is that 10 feet is about the max range.
