Bluetooth earpiece-what is your experience? - Treo Forum

dbatton · 03-08-2008, 04:54 PM

I have had a treo 650 for over 2 years and have been thoroughly impressed with its capabilities, except for the lackluster bluetooth earpieces.

I have tried numerous pieces, most of which cost at or above $100. No matter tye brand or type, if I was to move my 650 more than 3-4' from the earpiece, it would break up badly.

Now that I have a Centro, I would like to get an earpiece. I am hopeful that it will work better than the 650.

What has been your experience with bluetooth earpieces with the Centro?

I have tried the Palm Wireless and Ultralight Palm. Both have issues and work mediocre. That is all my experience with bluetooth.

I'm using the Palm Wireless Headset Series 3. I've only had complaints when using it inside of really noisy places (like my neighborhood Chipotle). No one has said they couldn not hear me. If anything, they hear everything.

It would be nice to have a voice activacted headset to kill the background noise but so far so good.

Optimus Centro out.

I have used a Motorola H555 with my Centro with no problem (it would drop out with my old phone, a Samsung A920).

Now I use an LG HBM-750 with no problem at all.

I've used Palm Ultralight that works fine for me and the Jabra JX10. I've heard great things about the Jawbone though....
