Which one? - Treo Forum

dmc1068 · 10-29-2007, 11:48 AM

I have a 700p and a Plantronics 510. I am tired of it disconnecting. I've tried everything. Just hitting the button doesn't connect it. I've repaired several sozen times. I've soft reset, hard reset nothing. I also Have a Motorola H700 and am told it sounds tinny in the other end.
I am going to buy either this

or this

Which one do you guys suggest? Any opinions are appreciated.

I used the Palm Wireless Headset (the gray one) for about 3 years with my 650. It always worked great and I never had others tell me it sounded bad on the other end. Never any disconnection issues.

It just never seemed to fit or stay in place well (small ears), so I finally pony'd-up the cash for a new headset and switched to a Motorola H700 when I got my 755p.

Have you considered a Jawbone? I think it would be worth your while to check it out.

I have used the Palm one and worked so so. That was before the ROM upgrade. I lost it just before so can't say how it would really work with the new software.

I am planning on getting the Palm Ultra Wireless Headset one of these days. The reason I like these headset is the charging cables are the same ones for the Treo. No extra power cords to handle.

I looked at all the reviews for the Jawbone. I like the noise canceling, but too many people had bad experiences connecting with 700ps. The reason I want to replace the one I have is the disconnection issue.

dmc1068 from reading many issues were resolved with the new ROM that fixed some Bluetooth issues. That is why I gave the Palm Headset a "so so" because I lost it after the ROM upgrade. However, I do have a Motorola Speaker and it works better. Calls don't drop and it is pretty clear.

I also have a bluetooth Keyboard from Palm and I have no issues, no skippy or connectivity with it paired with my 700P.

I would like to know if there is a single 700p Bluetooth headset that works like it should? My buddy never once has had a problem with his Motorola BT and Nokia phone. I've had 4 BT headset (pre- and post- MR) and none have been all that great. The Motorola and Jawbone are about the best I've tried.

comiken205 · 10-30-2007, 04:11 PM

I agree. The motorola speaker has worked the best with not disconnecting issues. The Palm Headset was hit and miss, more hit though.

LotusLord · 10-30-2007, 04:15 PM

I really think the problem is the 700p's BT implementation. Something is really goofy there and Palm still hasn't fixed it 100%

comiken205 · 10-30-2007, 04:20 PM

Agreed. Hey, as long as my keyboard works, I am good to go!
