This item features a simple, easy-to-use, user interface: on/off switch, almost 2 in. diameter volume wheel, 1.25 in. button, and a small LED indicator light. The key to using this user interface is to observe the state of the indicator light (e.g., flashing blue vs. solid blue light), and understand the different ways of using the button (tap, double tap, press [about 1 sec.], and press and hold [about 5 sec.]). All this is explained in the User Manual. The important thing is to understand that there is only a small subset of these actions needed for everyday use. In particular, I have found that in order to put my phone into voice-command mode, I simply hold in the Jabra SP200's button until I hear a beep and then release it (this is equivalent to a "press" of the button), so I don't need to try to count out one second. Before I realized this, I was not sure if I was doing a "tap" or a "press". As you practice using the Jabra SP200, you will find the audio prompts (beep tones) very useful.The Jabra SP200 is a perfect match to a phone that already natively supports voice-command mode (such as my Motorola MOTO W755). You can use the SP200 to put your phone into voice-command mode without touching the phone, as discussed above. Then the phone prompts (thru the Jabra speaker), "Please say a command". Then you can say (using the Jabra mic), "Call Pat Johnson home" and the phone will respond (thru the Jabra speaker), "Calling Pat Johnson home" and make the call. Since you are using the native voice recognition capabilities of your own cell phone, you do not need to upload your contact list to the Jabra, you do not need a phone that supports PBAP (phone book access profile) and the Jabra doesn't need to duplicate the voice recognition functionality that already exits in your phone. My recommendation, however, is to perform your cell phone's voice recognition training through the Jabra SP200, possibly while sitting inside your non-moving vehicle with the Jabra SP200 mounted on the visor, for best results.The connectivity range between your cell phone and the Jabra SP200 can be quite good. I have noticed that I can park in the parking lot and enter a store and sometimes still be connected to the Jabra SP200. Of course, if a call comes in at this time, it would go to the Jabra out in your car, and not to your cell phone on your person. To avoid this, I just use my cell phone's menu to drop the connection to the Jabra before exiting the vehicle, and when I return, I just tap the Jabra's big button to restore the connection while listening for the confirmatory beep sound.Sound quality is very good to excellent when listening to a call in a moving vehicle, and can be good to very good at the recipient's end of the call depending on the level of background noise in the vehicle (depending on speed, road conditions, etc.). I might mention that I am hearing-impaired, yet have no trouble hearing and understanding the Jabra SP200. In fact, it sounds much better than my cell phone itself.If you understand the specific handsfree functionality you need, pair the Jabra SP200 with the right phone, and practice until using your phone and the Jabra SP200 together becomes second nature, you can't go wrong. Highly recommended!

Before buying this item I read lots of reviews and felt real good. I was satisfied with its performance and the quality of conversation was good. However after two months of use it broke. It could no longer find the phone and make the connection. I tried different phones and they were the same thing. I had to return it and got partially refunded.

I purchased this product due to the hand-free law enforced in California since Jan.Pro:1. Price2. Easy to use3. Good reception of signalsCon:1. Charging connection is unique - I have to use the one came with this product. This is inconvenient. I use a porable GPS that uses the same charging connector as my Blackberry. Now I have switch back and forth. THis is bad.2. It could be bit smaller. If the bluetooth ear pieces can be small, then this product should be much smaller3. It seems to be confused when connected to 2 phonesOverll I am happy with the product. If you don't want to spend too much money on gadgets, this is a perfect product for you.

The set up was easy and I can hear others perfectly. As a matter of fact, I can hear their voices, I can hear them shuffle papers, type, eat, etc. The problem is that people on the other end of the line cannot hear me. People complain that they cannot hear me. I am often told that I am breaking up. I keep the speakerphone on my visor, which is fairly close to my mouth, but I still get complaints. My quest for the perfect speakerphone continues.

I purchased the Blueant Supertooth 3 several month ago and was pretty disappointed with it. (Despite all the good reviews.) The buttons took way too long to perform simple functions like turning it off/autoanswer. It is overly complicated for something "hands free." I saw this Jabra SP200 show up as a Deal of the Day and thought I'd give it a shot. The one thing missing from this Jabra model is the voice announcing of inbound callers. (I see Jabra offers more expensive models with that option.) But compared to the Blueant - I love this so much more. All of the functions are quick, easy and done with simple taps of a single button or roll of a dial.There is an on-off switch on the side of the Jabra if you choose to turn it off completely. And it goes into a sleep mode after it hasn't detected your phone for 15 mins (good for extending the battery life.) This is also perfect for me because our driveway is right next to our house, and I always had to either turnoff my phone's bluetooth, or hold that stupid button on the Blueant for 9 seconds. On the Jabra SP200 all it takes is just a tap of the button to activate it again when I get in the car. No pressing and hoooolding like the Blueant.The volume is an easy wheel. On the Blueant you had to hit one of two buttons on the top several times to change the volume. Why have a device that requires your eyes/hands be busy looking for different buttons and holding them for many seconds while you are supposed to be paying attention to your driving? This is where the Jabra SP200 excels. You can perform several functions quick and easily all while keeping your eyes on the road.Sound quality is very good coming through the speaker, although I heard from one person that I sounded like I was in a tunnel once. Voice dialing works well, but I plan to record my voice dials through the Jabra as it suggests. The blue light indicating Bluetooth connectivity is a non-distracting subdued blue unlike the flashing bright blue light on the Blueant. Overall, I am very happy with this Jabra SP200 device, and I definitely recommend it as a good mid-range speakerphone for your car.
