I've got the Jabra BT200 for both my wife and I, pretty impressive for £80
By the way I found that CPW have no stock though they let you order.
Expansys have it on pre-order.
Got ours from http://www.mobileimports.com/ in the end they advertise on ebay as well so I looked up their track record, hey can't be too careful nowadays. I am in no way connected to these guys just a satisfied customer.
find that the voice dialing works better with a t68i than a t68 with latest software upgrade using both headsets, weird.
Can't get magic word to work.

Hey I work for Phones4U if you want this BT200 headset visit one of our stores rather than buying from the web they are 80 quid but ask the advisor if he can do a deal! with a t68i on a contract you may just get one for 30 quid!! just an idea..
BTW i have not got one but after reading this forum i WANT one so much so that my parents are giving me the money to get one for christmas.... Thanks for the great reviews guys..

Hey, i want to share with all my experience wit BT200 Headset until now. Some months ago i acquired a SE HBH-30, and had a lot of troubles with that headset. I updated my T68m software from R2B013 to R2E006 to see if that fixed the problems, but notting happened. Then one day i lost my HBH-30 (don't ask me how), so i decided that i had to give a try to the BT200.
Yesterday, i received my headset, i read the manual, and charged it. It fits very well in my ear, is much more comfortable than the HBH-30 (at least is what my ear says after 30 minutes of use)
The pairing process was very fast and clear.
It works very well, and a lot better than the HBH-30. The communication with the T68 is faster (when you push the answer button to answer or to give a voice command), and the sound is very clear in both ways.
The range with the phone is also better (with my old HBH-30, after 2 meters got my call finished due the static and poor reception) I tested 5 meters without problems, and 3 meters with a wall in the middle.
The weight and the look are very similar to the HBH-30. Eventought the standby time is shorter than the HBH-30, i think is enough, since i´m not a hard user of the headset (i will post the real standby time in some other post)
So, resuming all, i´m very satisfied with the product. It feels solid and works very well for me, have to use it a litlle more and i will keep you all informed. It's all the contrary of the HBH-30 shit that i had (i´m glad that i lost it) And all that for less of $100.

I have just tested the maximum range with the headset here in my office.
10 meters, if you go 11 meters you start to loose quality. At 12 meters the call is dropped. I have to say that the place is crowded of computers and electronic equipment, but nothing in the 2.4 Ghz range of frequencies (like 802.11a/b)
Also i tested my headset in the right ear and my T68 in my left shirt pocket, my right pant pocket and left pant pocket, and i got no static or noise. Still worked fine. What i noticed is that you can hear very easily if the Network signall is weak, and it can be confussed with bluetooth "static" or noise. Whe the signall is strong (green bars) the sound in the headset is cristal clear, whe you have bad reception, the sound in the headset is not that clear.
That's all for now.

1 Can you have the bluetooth connection on all the time and then choose whether to answer the call via headset or phone as it rings.( I don't want to keep having to activate then deactivate everytime I decide to wear the headset)
2 If im wearing the headset and take a call and the caller wants to speak to my wife can I transfer the caller from the headset to the phone for her to take the call.
3 Can you end a call via the voice commands i.e so I can wear the headset when im on my motorcycle and end calls without having to take my hands off the handlebars.
THANKS

AFAIK, you can't end calls with voice commands. If you take an incoming call, then the call ends when the person at the other end hangs up, but if you make an outgoing call, you need to hang it up by pressing either the button on the h/s or the phone. |

I purchased my BT 200 several weeks ago at FRY's for only 79$ since there was a special offering. It does all it promises. It does break up a little when batteries are low and there are obstacles between the phone and the headphone but the overall quality and performance is great. My only comment is concerning the charger... a universal switching power supply (like the one supplied w/ the T68i) would be better if you travel. Voice commands work if you are in a quiet environment. Batteries never left me down... what else to say? I am enjoying my purchase! |

I got mine a few weeks ago too. Find it really comfortable and I generally don't like headsets. No problem with reception even in the car. Can activate voice dialling if in quiet zone, but not in the car always.
I like it mainly when in the car as a hands free as I get a bit self conscious talking into thin air (headset almost hidden under my hair) if wandering around the shops!!! |

I also had alot of static on my Jabra, but I got my T68i upgraded to R6A012 and all of the static went away.
To bad ATT will not offer this service, had to pay a hacker to do a simple upgrade. |

I believe the range/static factor is partly firmware dependant, as mt R5D007 T68i does not sound nearly as clear as my friend's R3C001 (or whatever AT&T is running currently) phone. I DID notice that his Motorola BT headset sounded MUCH MUCH better on either of our phones than my Freespeak, though. My combo just plain sucks compared to his Moto/ATT T68i, which DOES sound just like a landline. I sure wish I could figure out how you folks are getting such clear sound...the absolute best I get is "fair"...the worst is Charlie the Tuna from Starkist. |
