> Bluetooth Headset for £17.99 - Any good?

Got mine on Saturday... Seems fine, although with my K700i with R2AA firmware it loses the connection frequently, I'm sure its the phone not the headset though.
I tried it with a friends T610 and it worked perfectly. The voice-dialling button doesn't seem to work with my K700 but does with my friends T610.
I think there may be problems with bluetooth in my K700's firmware.
I also have a slight difficulty attaching the thing to my ear - it doesn't feel very secure. Either I have wierd ears or I'm not used to these BT headsets. This is my first one and haven't tried any others to compare it with.
I can pair it fine with my Mac and use it for talking to friends over
iChat.
The instruction for pairing seems a little inaccurate. It says to hold the S1 button for 4 seconds until the LED flashes red/green alternately. But I had to hold it for about 5-6 seconds. 4 seconds is just long enough to turn the headset on/off, hold it longer to put into pairing mode.

I've just had a play with myyheadset and I've got to say I'm impressed. I've been using it a T68i and I had no problems pairing it as per @JoolsG4 instructions.
Sound quality seems to be pretty good and voice dialing works fine. I've also had no problems transfering calls from the phone to the HS, but if I try and transfer from the HS to the phone it just ends the call!
The box looks very SE to me, the white with the green ends.
In terms of weight its not the lightest but it does not feel at all heavy.
All in all I very impressed so far...

Mine has just arrived. It all looks extremely good imho. It has a UK adapter, but I still had a travel-plug converer thing tucked away in a drawer, so it's not a problem. I have to charge it now for 12 hours (long hours) before I can test-drive it with my P800. Will keep you posted.

Have testdriven the Abe headset for a bit now, and I have to say I'm impressed. I totally agree with Ben.Cook, same experiences for me too! Transferring a call from the headset to the phone seems to be only supported for Nokia 3650 "or equivalent models". I am able to transfer a call from my P800 to the headset, but have not yet managed to do so the other way round. Voice dialling works fine, except for the "magic word" which is either not supported (is that normal for BT headsets?) or I might do something wrong or re-record my magic word.
Anyway, I think it's really good value for money. I'll be curious to see how things are over a longer period of time. Recommended!

Hi
For those of you that are non-uk residence how do you fix the charging problem with the UK plug?

a UK nokia charger will still be a UK charger, am i right?
an adapter seems the easiest solution.

Thanks

I have one of these headsets with a UK plug. When I get home (if I remember) I'll take a look at the voltage specs and connector of this charger and compare it to a Nokia charger I also have...
Will post back later...
