Hello All,
First to get mine and first to die. My Jabra took a crap. It will not charge now. I called Jabra and they said I could get a new one, but get this...They dont have any right now so I will have to wait for another 30 days to get my new unit. Do any of you know if there are any retailers in Southern California that have the Jabra in stock?

How do I assign voice commands using it?

Assigning voice commands is not altogether obvious - you go through the usual steps of assigning them on the phone, then just before or after the phone prompts you for the name, hit the top button on the Jabra. The Jabra then links to the phone and you'll hear the "beep" in your ear to cue you in provide the voice command. If it works, you'll hear it back through the headset.
Getting the caller's name announced in your ear is hit & miss - sometimes it works and sometimes not (at least with R2E on the phone).

The only thing I don't like about the Jabra, is that I can not have 2 things paired to it... What headsets can?

What should my settings be in the headset and bluetooth menu? Should the bluetooth be on all the time or just on automatic? Sometimes i cant seem to answer a call on automatic operating mode of the bluetooth on the phone. Thanks

i got mine. to IPXPERT, re: so. cal. retailers - call up Fry's in Burbank; that's where i bought it, and they had three in stock, even though it looked like all three had been opened, touched, returned, and taped back together - i made sure to rip some of the packaging up on mine just so that they wouldn't resell it to some poor sap if i broke it and brought it back.
long and short: i'm satisfied, but especially for aesthetic reasons of design and function. i love the whole blue LED thing. the masses have been spoonfed a diet of red and green diode far too long. plus, the aesthetics of a wireless connection promote emotional well-being like i'd never imagined. the problem comes in with the sound: i have the same problem with the bluetooth static at distances way shorter than expected. i keep my t68i in its holster dangling from my right front pocket. i wear the jabra in my left ear. a distance of maybe 36", a far cry from the 30' of bluetooth claims. i hate to think that i have to take the phone out and hold it up near my head just to prevent static. maybe i have a defective model? can anyone out there keep clear connections at longer ranges (even pocket range?). when i'm in the car, i actually have to keep the phone on my lap in order to remain static-free.
as for putting it on my ear the quickest way possible when the phone is ringing (it rings both in the jabra and the phone, BTW), the technique is this:
-hold the jabra in the palm of your hand, mic curving out to your pinky
-spread your fingers wide to start
-put your 2nd and 3rd finger on the right of the ear bud
-put your thumb to the left of the ear bud (behind the hook, not over the body), so you're holding just the bud with three fingers
-take your pinky and put it on the mic piece, using that position to spread apart the mic arm and the ear piece, to make a space for your ear to go in
-slip the jabra over your ear, jam the ear bud gel in your canal, let the mic piece come up under your earlobe
-commence jabracizing
the thing is ultra-comfy on your ear, and unobtrusive, due to its position on your face. the sound-conducting ear gel works great for letting outside sounds in when you're not talking, but conducting the phone sound directly into your ear.
i'm gonna keep it and evaluate at my 30 day return window whether the things has met my expectations.
hope this helps.

Ok got mine on friday and i agree with pretty much with whats been said.
However i am having a few problems;
*the blue light never turns off whilst charging to indicate its ready - no matter how long i leave it charging for. I leave it charging overnight but in the morning the light is still on
*how do you set voice commands up using the jabra, i followed the instructions earlier in the post but all this does is crash my phone whilst the name i just said is repeated in my ear until i remove the phones battery!
*why cant i have the caller name instead of a ring in my ear? my phone has 1 ring tone and the jabra a completely different tone but no caller name (and it is turned on under the profile menu)?
anybody any ideas?
otherwise a great headset

I've been toying with my Jabra over the weekend, and I've no regrets whatsoever! It's really great and performs perfectly. Lives up to everything it's suppose to be! It's very light and extremely comfortable, you'll forget your wearing it after a few minutes. The mini-gel works really great. Conversations are crystal clear! The design is very stylish.( cant imagine myself wearing one of those operator type headsets from SE )
And most of all...I love the blueled on the back!
I guess I was lucky to have gotten one that works perfectly. I only get static when I'm beyond 10 feet.( I'm still using R2bo25. I believe it has a BT problem but that can be solved after upgrading which I plan to do next week )
I've finally figured out a way to wear it with just one hand. It is possible, and takes only a little practice. Just put the minigel end in your ear cannal first and then the body over your ear and the rest follows. Dont follow what the manual says.
The voice commands and voice dialling works perfect. Pairing was a breeze. Charging takes only 2hours and i havent recharge it since friday which is like 3days ago. still no signs of low battery. (how i wish the battery on my t68m was like this.)
Bottomline...I'm glad I didnt go for the SE headsets.
