Digital camera reviews of Jabra SP5050 Bt Speakerphone
Digital camera Review: Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
Had a hard time making the connection to my phone work - it would always go to voicemail - not worth the trouble to keep trying when there are quite a few other handsfree units available.Digital camera Review: Does what I need, but a little tricky to learn
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using the Jabra for about 3 months, in anticipation of the California hands-free law. While I like the slim, sleek design, I would prefer a couple of big buttons instead of the single one. It took me a while to learn the difference between the "press" and the "tap", so I was transferring calls to the handset when I meant to hang up. And I never did get the right pressure for answering. I rigged my phone to have the Jabra answer automatically after two rings -- MUCH better and much safer!
The volume is just loud enough with my Samsung phone jacked up to high - I just have to remember to lower the phone volume when I do hand-hold it, or everyone around me hears my caller's voice.
I agree that the battery life is amazing. (I got mine at Costco, and the AC adapter was included.) I like the auto-off feature, as I usually forget to turn it off when I leave the car. I prefer using the visor speakerphone over a headset -- no geek factor, and I have the use of both ears to hear the stereo or conversation in my car, which I don't have when a headset blocks one ear.
The indicator lights could be brighter; in the daytime, they are too small and too dim to be useful. For this level of function, the price is right, though.
Digital camera Review: Does what it should
Summary: 5 Stars
Does exactly what I would expect. It just works! Easy to pair with my Blackberry 8830, plenty of volume from the speaker. People I call do not complain about voice quality so must be good enough! Only slight negative is only included charging solution is a 12V car charger but Amazon does have a AC to 12V converter for about $12. So far I have not bought it, claimed stand by time of 200 hours seems real so do not have to charge very often. Auto shut off after 15 minutes of no blue-tooth connect helps save the battery.Digital camera Review: Does what it's supposed to do
Summary: 4 Stars
Due to the California law, I needed to get a handsfree device. The reviews were good on the Jabra SP5050 so I got one and tried it and then had my wife try it. It was simple enough for her to be happy so I bought a second one.
If your phone Bluetooth is on (which shortens battery life) and you turn on the SP5050 it hooks up with your phone and you're good to go. If you leave the SP5050 over 30 or 40 feet and are gone for 15 minutes or so, it automatically turns off. It's simple and works well. If the volume is too low and you can't get it high enough on the SP5050 you can try increasing the volume on your phone. I have been happy with the performance and volume.
Digital camera Review: Doesn't pair - useless to me
Summary: 1 Stars
This looked like an interesting and relatively low-cost option for my wife's car/cell phone, since she hasn't found a bluetooth headset that fits her ear comfortably. Unfortunately, we cannot get this unit to pair with any of three cell phones (iPhone 3G, two new Nokias). It goes into pairing mode as advertised, but none of our phones can find it (they all find all of the headsets and computers we have tried pairing with other than this unit). Makes this rather useless, and I would strongly suggest testing your phone against one of these before ordering.
Also disappointed in the lack of a USB or AC charger. My fault for not noticing that this only comes with a car charger - not very convenient for how we typically charge.
No issues with the merchant - quickly shipped and delivered just fine. The low rating here is about the speakerphone, not the merchant.
