I have the Jabra BT200 which has issues with the 7520, so I went out on a limb and got the HS820 @ BestBuy.... I am a police officer and like keeping the phone with me at all times, however there is issues with security especially during building searches, and I did not want a boom hanging out... I tell you what I was very suprised at this product and love it... It works great with the DC feature and love the last number redial... A little bit of static, but with all the other electronics in my car I can see why... Anyone else have anything + about this product....

There is another member on here that has the same set up Greg Gebhardt (sp) loves that exact headset. He'll probably chime in to reiterate what you have said.

I had the BT200 and then sold that and got a BT250. I like it and it seems to do a good job. I wish I could find one that was not so sensitive to the wind, etc.

I have a BT250 as well, i like the comfort a lot more than any other device i have used.

also they have a BT250v, which essentially, is the same thing but in a sleek black, i am not sure if there is any difference as far as wind cancelation, maybe i will get one this week and see.

Every review I have read describing the HS810/820/850's interactions with the BlackBerry describe an annoying echo that plagues the speaker's voice and renders the headset unusable. This was especially disappointing to me, as I really like the 810/850 and wanted to use it with my BlackBerry, but the echo issues stopped me from buying the headset. I have also heard of the same echo issue with the HS820 paired to the new LG PM-325 from Sprint.

It would do me good to hear reviews stating opinions to the contrary, as I'd like to buy the HS810, or 850.

I am using the 850 with a 7250 and so far no one has complained of echos. I have asked and all have said I sound normal. I have only had it for a couple of days so maybe in time it will get worse. I'll post what I find.

^^The echo referred to is something that you, the user of the bb/headest combo hears, not that the person on the other end of the line hears. It was a well documented problem when the 7520 first came out.

Ok, I don't hear any echos either! I am using with the 7250 not the 7520 so maybe this is a specific problem to the 7520.

^^Yeah, it is specific to the 7520, sorry I didn't mention that....
