I bought this product to go with my very first bluetooth phone (Motorola A835 reviewed seperately).
I was working in London a lot and wanted to be able to keep my phone out of sight in my bag, also when shopping or out somewhere noisy I never hear the phone so this seemed like an ideal solution.
The Jabra BT200 was at the best price for a bluetooth headset £39.99 and I bought mine from Amazon.co.uk but they are widely available at this price now.
I had a lot of problems at first, but this was down to the phone not the headset. Despite this I had contacted the Jabra support and they were very helpful.
The phone was reviewed as the most comfortable headset around. I found it very uncomfortable at first and it took a while to get used to.
When someone rings me the headset first gives a little warning chime before ringing properly, then I just press the button to take the call.
If you have voice tags set up on your phone you can press the button on the handset and make calls using them - I haven't managed to get voice tags working yet (also I feel a bit of a wally walking along saying HOME repeatedly in an attempt to make a call, worse if I am on a train).
I don't know if my ears are unusual - they are extremely flat against my head, but I find it very difficult to get the headset on in the first place. When I have finally managed to get it in a comfortable position that seems secure it works it's way off again, especially if I get a phone call and press the button to recieve the call! I also have problems if I want to wear my sunglasses at the same time!
I find that when wearing the headset, which effectively makes me deaf in one ear, I get some very funny looks and with the microphone I feel like a reject from Steps! I still think it is not a bad looking product despite this.
My colleague has just bought the same headset and she thinks it is wonderful and has had no problems, but without wishing to be nasty - her ears do stick out quite a bit!
I am considering getting an alternative headset at this point in time.
