slb review of blackberry 655 [Posted on 2008-04-20]
Overall pretty good product the charging cradle bites as you have to have it with you. I don't know why all the bluetooth's can't use a common charging tip.

Nothing special [Posted on 2008-05-10]
I was somewhat dissapointed by this device especially that is has been branded by Blackberry. I was expecting a lot more. They advertise the device being functional upto 30 feet away from your phone, if I walk about more than 5-7 feet, voice quality starts detioriating rapidly.

While using it when driving, I have had 50-50 positive and negative responses from the other end. Some people tell me that it is just too loud and that it is picking up all the noise around me. Other says, it sounds like you are just talking on a cell phone (which is what I would at least expect it to do).

Controling the button to switch off and on, pick up an incoming call, and ending a call isnt the greatest. It doesnt work like they would intend it to. At times I push the button to pick up a call, it does nothing. So I have to revert to my phone to answer the call.

Overall it is an acceptable device, I don't use it heavily except when driving.

I will certainly keep my eyes open for other devices out there. I would highly recommend against buying it if you are buying it because it is branded "Blackberry". It is a mediocore device by my standards.

Best bluetooth headset I've ever had! [Posted on 2008-05-24]
This product is incredibly ergonomic, you won't notice you have it on. Excellent sound quality and wireless range. Battery life is great!. It will vibrate if you have it on it's holster and will close the call if you put it there. I really have no complaints about it.

Compact bluetooth [Posted on 2008-07-07]
I have a blackberry pearl and this bluetooth headset works well with my phone. Feedback from friends and family indicate that they can hear me much clearer than on my previous bluetooth headset(Motorola H505). It took a little getting used to (it's really small!) but I am happy with the purchase. The carrying case makes this a must have for me!

Good fit, comfortable, still doesn't block out ambiane noises [Posted on 2008-08-28]
Casing needs to cover the ear sponge as well for protection. The sponge part keeps falling out - needs to be glued on or the fit needs to be improved from the factory. I solved this by twisting the sponge all the way to the right (or left depending on the ear you are using it in). I think the casing needs to be more protective. The top part, including the ear piece, protrudes from the top of the case and, in a purse or pocket, causes the earpiece sponge to come off. I also have the ear bracket attached and, when the sponge comes off - that does too. Try digging through the bottom of your purse for that and the ear piece! AND, I still get complaints about ambient noises, even though this was one of their selling points!!!!
