JABRA SP5050 RETURNED IN 2 HOURS - WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY - GET THE MOTOROLA T 505!!
(1 out of 5) by M. Collins on Aug 1, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA United States)goal: the loudest bluetooth speaker phone, the best of the best. i hate head sets.
1. i have owned the motorola T 305 for 2 years. with the new cell law in california, i wanted a hands free bluetooth speaker phone to make my ears bleed with LOUD, CLEAR, QUALITY volume, especially for freeway speeds and when i have my a/c on full blast, my window down and the radio on full blast, yes all at the same time as most people in los angeles.
2. the T 305 be called many things on amazon, but a motorola T 305 is a motorola T 305. the boxes may have changed, but that is all. the T 505 is a T 505 as well.
3. that said, the T 305 has only a small 1 watt speaker, possibly good for a cat or bat - i am neither. the T 305 is ok for quiet people, or people who do not have air conditioning on the highest fan speed, people who rarely use or do not have air conditioning, who do not smoke, do not have kids, never use the radio, never have passangers, never roll down their windows.
if that is you, save the few dollars and get the motorola T 305. you will like the 1/one watt speaker and you will be happy.
4. the motorola T 505 has a 2/two watt speaker, enough to make my ears bleed which is what i wanted since i require a loud ring, and yes, i DO roll my window up to talk, but at least i can hear it ring at 75 mph! i am not hard of hearing, but with the window down and the a/c on full blast, i want a loud ring.
TRUST ME, 2 WATTS IS MORE THAN LOUD ENOUGH - IT'S QUALITY/LOUDNESS IS MORE THAN JUST DOUBLE THE 1 WATT; 2 WATTS MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. i do not know why, but it does. 2 WATTS WILL WAKE THE DEAD.
5. back on track, i bought the jabra sp5050, WHICH DOES NOT COME WITH A HOME CHARGER - NO JOKE! jabra's customer service was super, super cool. they even said they were adding a home charger soon and even sent me a free one.
motorola's customer service, after you dial 23 prompts, is worthless, regardless of what continent you get sent to.
an a+ to jabra's customer service. f- to motorola's.
6. ok, my experience just a few weeks ago was when i charged the jabra sp5050 (in my car of course since there is no home charger), just out of the box. i first loved the cool, stealth design. BUT that is all.
i literally did a side by side comparison of the jabra sp5050 vs. the 1/one watt motorola T 305, had my partner call me from inside my home, and the jabra sp5050 was worthless. free or a gift, i would throw it away. BY ME IF FREE OR A GIFT- i would throw it away. i returned it in 2 hours.
7. spend the little extra, get the 2 watt motorola T 505. worth the money, calls can come in over a unused/weak fm frequency. since i am not a terrorist, i don't care if anyone can pick it up my stupid calls next to me in case they are listening to an unused fm frequency. is it perfect, no. i am not flying in a space shuttle or in a fighter jet.
*****i would NOT recommend calling a credit card company, however.*****
8. even if you do not need the T 505 to make your ears bleed or scare you if you are deep in thought, the fm broadcasting feature of the incoming voice over an unused fm frequency is really cool. it is so smart, it tells you what fm station to pick. or, you do not have to use this feature if you do not want to.
fyi, the speaker volume IS adjustable if you do not want your ears to bleed.
the mororola t 505 is a V8 engine, for sure.

if legal, i would marry the motorola t 505.

bluetooth
(4 out of 5) by J. Shen on Jul 25, 2008Great product. Volume sometimes seem low, and the clip on the back doesn't detach, but other than that works well.

Good Product, Stupid Laws
(4 out of 5) by Images Per Second on Jul 11, 2008 (Orange County, CA USA)I purchased 3 of these because the Peoples Republic of California imposed another stupid tax - I mean law - on us. The Jabra was easy to pair with various blue tooth enabled phones/PDA's and the sound quality is quite acceptable. It's thinner than most garage door openers, so it isn't too ugly while hanging from the visor. All in all, pretty decent device.

Excellent clarity, volume, & battery life
(5 out of 5) by Amy E. Hunter on Jun 18, 2008 (Lacey, WA)I've had this product for a month and love it. Very good sound quality for both sides of the call. Volume is loud enough that I can hear with no problem and the people on the receiving end have told me that the volume tends to be a little on the loud side...so there is no need to "elevate" your voice like you do with many speakerphones. You can "press and hold" the button for about 3 seconds and it will activate the voice dial feature on my phone. It was super easy to sync (I have a Motorola Krzr phone). The battery life is impressive. After a month of use I have only charged it the initial time. I use it almost every day on my drive home from work (about 15 minutes) and also fairly often on the weekends. The profile is very slim so you could easily toss this into your briefcase or purse. I've been very pleased with the quality and ease of use. I highly recommend it and would definitely buy it again.
