Title: Coolest BT headset on the market!.. But USELESS!
Review: I bought a HS-850 with great expectations after seeing the Cingular rep demo the unit. The swing out boom works great (with my Nokia 6682). Boots up and establishes connection very fast once you swing out the boom. Very comfortable on the ear if you don't mind a bit of "flop" (it never FALLS OFF even though you think it will..). Very lightweight so you don't even notice it is there. NOW, as far as usefulness, it rates a ZERO. Even with maximum volume on the phone and on the headset, the volume is TOO LOW! This is a universal problem as it is posted EVERYWHERE on the web.. I only wished I had READ before I BOUGHT. My mistake! Only useful if you are in a quiet room with no background noise. Forget about using this headset outdoors (with or without wind noise) or in a car. Gets a FIVE STAR rating for looks and style, hands down.. ONE STAR for actual usefulness as the volume problem is very real.
