Blackberry Bluetooth HS-655… sound is awesome BUT… biggest complaint – it falls apart easily! The earpiece and earhook falls off even while wearing it!!

I ordered on in that 24 hour period that it was orderable. It arrived with no documentation. I also received an unordered charger in a separate shipment (weird).

The product arrived without documentation. There are only a coupl of support FAQs on the web site and a draft of a manual that is sparse at best.

The key feature driving my purchase was voice activated dialing. However, this requires v4.2 of the firmware, which does not appear to be available – certainly not to enterprise customers.

The headset seems to be a nice headset and does fit my ear well – even without the ear stabilizer. But, without the voice activated dialing it wasn’t worth the $135.

One minor gripe. When I take it out of my ear I have been placing it into the pocket clip. But, it appears to lose its pairing quickly when that happenes. So, if I am driving down the road and the phone rings it isn’t very convenient that I have to re-pair it before I can answer. I might as well use the handset.

BTW, the web site now says 12/1 availability.

WTF? Ordered one last night with 2-day shipping, today the site says out of stock until 11/30. I hope I got lucky…

They’ve got them for sale at the Blackberry site store now. Not sure if they actually have them, but the order button is now active…

I feel you pain Mj. I think that I am going go the route that DanO went and get a Plantronics 655. I broke the earclip on my 645 and want something new.

11/6 now. After 2 months of this thing slipping a week every week, I’m starting to lose interest. I know it will be released as soon as I buy something else though…

Is the Plantronics identical to this one? I’d heard that BB was doing some special tweaks to enhance performance, but not sure if that’s true. Anyone in the know?

Your grammar and punctuation are reprehensible.

Blame it on Word… go on.
