The best thing I found with the headset was how easy it was to connect to my phone (nokia 6230). The clarity whilst having conversations is great and the the way it fits onto my ear was confortable. If you have any problems using it, the manual provided has the answers.
The biggest disadvantage of the headset is that other people can hear your conversation. The reason for this is that the headset can be used on your left or right ear, and has a speaker on each side. This is not so bad if you turn the volume setting to low.
The headset can be charged using most nokia chargers and doesn't take too long to charge. The headset can also be used with more than one phone.
I believe it was a good buy. I bought the headset to use whilst driving, and it does exactly what I expected. I can keep the phone in my pocket and answer any call with the headset.
The cost is not too bad for a bluetooth headset. I paid £53.99 as I bought it with my phone, but I have seen it around for £59.99.
The headset works with the following Nokia phones: Nokia 6310, Nokia 6310i, Nokia 8910, Nokia 6650, Nokia 3650, Nokia 8910i, Nokia 6600, Nokia N-Gage, Nokia 6230, Nokia 6820, Nokia 6810, Nokia 7700, Nokia 7600, Nokia 3660, Nokia 9500 Communicator, Nokia 7610.
Im not sure what this means but you may find it useful to know that the headset is compliant with and adopts the Bluetooth Specification 1.1. The headset can also work with other bluetooth phones, but you would need to check the compatibility to make sure.
Overall, I would recommend the headset. It is easy to connect and use, aswell as having good clarity.
Advantages: Light, stylish, very clear, good standby/talk time Disadvantages: Bit bulky when in your pocket
The first HS-4W I had had a fault - the audio in the earpiece was quiet and often distorted. I swapped it for a replacement and the new HS-4W is a totally different experience!
The earpiece sound is clear and loud enough to be used in a car for example. The headset can be used on either ear, so the earpiece has a hole on either side, so there is some sound leakage. A piece of Blu-tack on one side would fix that if it's an issue for you.
The sound ... ...they can hear and understand me fine.
There is a button on the boom that can is used to control calls – you can answer, reject, redial, voice-dial (if your phone supports it) and pass calls between headset and phone.
The only minor niggle for me is that it’s a bit bulky in my shirt pocket. ;) ...

Advantages: Easy to use. Good quality camera. Bluetooth & voice control Disadvantages: No self portrait on camera.
...mode, which isn't just limited to 20 seconds (although I think it can depend on how much memory you have available). This is a nice extra feature, however I didn't find the quality of this to be that good.
I particularly like the MP3 player and find the sound quality to be excellent. Also included in the Media menu is the FM Radio, which I haven't yet used.
My phone came free with my Vodafone contract and, as an added bonus, included a free NokiaHS-4Wheadset which works well with the bluetooth facility and the voice activation, which as already mentioned works effectively and easily.
My verdict? Over all a good business like phone for adults with plenty of features. I highly recommend it!
Thanks for reading. Kim...
