Just bought a bluetooth ear thingy. The old phone that sat in the cradle was about knackered and I fancied a 3G one. I bought a nokia HS-26W headset to go with my nokia 6288 and I think it's sh1te. It waggles around on my ear, the volume is too low and it interferes with listening to my music properly.
It's in the coin tray and it's rather staying there. >:(

I got it from mobilefun.co.......so I'm stuck with it.

Personally I would get a proper bluetooth kit like one of the Parrot kits.
Very easy to install, work with pretty much all bluetooth enabled phones and route through your headunit.
Sound quality is excellent.
Once I have a car I will be keeping for a while I will invest in one (around £80-£90).

Hmmm...for you maybe :(

No, honestly, they are a doddle to fit. :)

Ive a Nokia headset....think it maybe a hs-26....not too sure...carnt read the really tiny print on it this time of night :(
If it is the same one.....the loop that goes around your ear bends to fit.....so try that.
Also i guess if the same one you've noticed the volume buttons on it? :-/
I find mine fine.....except why does it flash a blue led to show that its turned on??? You carnt see it if you wearing it ;D

Having tried a few Bluetooths and not liked them, I now stick to old-fashioned wired earphone when driving - the phone is in the cradle and the wire clipped to my shirt. there's nothing more reliable than a piece of wire that goes from A to B (and that's also what I tell my customers when they want to replace the Cat5 with WiFi...)

Deffo get a proper car kit unless you regularly switch cars. I have a Parrot CK3100 Evo in the Omega and a Nokia CK-7W in the BMW (both bluetooth). They both work great, the Parrot goes through the front speakers in the car whereas the Nokia has its own dedicated speaker.
Although I expected the Parrot to be better due to going through the car's speakers, I actually find the Nokia kit to be slightly better in terms of sound quality. It works fine with every phone I've tried, including Ericsson and Motorola, as well as Nokia. Another advantage of the Nokia kit is that it shows up on the phone as a "hands free" kit, rather than a "headset" which the Parrot does. No big deal, but you can have separate profiles for each on Nokias, and I want mine to be on silent (vibrate only) in all profiles except in the car. With the Parrot you can only achieve this by changing headset profile which means it also affects the profile when you have a music headset connected.
Personally if I were buying another I'd go for the Nokia CK-7W. It'd be much easier to fit in the Omega too, as the Parrot's interface to the front speakers requires bulky connectors to be plugged into the radio's speaker outputs, and it's bloody tight for space in there as it is. I had a right nightmare getting my head unit back in after installing all the gubbins; ended up having to cut some of the connectors out and solder the wires straight on instead.

Got a nokia 6310, I tried the bluetooth, could not get on with it. Had the car hard wired with the in car kit, sound through the speakers, radio goes to mute when the phone rings. Spot on.
No drilling was required into the dash etc, the phone holder is fitted into the rear of the radio and out through the dash.
Cost £200, well worth it, only thing is i cannot use anything other than the 6310, dont matter as the phones are not bad.
:y

Not directly related but I got my new phone today - Nokia 6300 - nice and slick... and comes with a 2megapixle 1600x1200 camera, so no more grainy 640x480 piccies in the maintenance guides! ;D

With the CK-7W it's got both a cable (pop-port) and bluetooth connection, so you can use either as long as there's a suitable cradle available (or you can plug the pop-port connector straight in, but that's a PITA). If you connect a phone to the cable it overrides the bluetooth. I used to use the cable occasionally when I had a 7250i as a second phone.
Nowadays I never bother plugging the phone in unless it needs charged, just leave it in my pocket and it connects with the ignition, mutes the radio when in use etc. My current phone is an E65 which is an excellent bit of kit IMO... and one of the nice features is you can get it to speak the name of the caller before ringing when it's connected to the car kit, so you know who's calling even if it's in your pocket. It's just a basic speech synthesiser so it's not a great pronunciation but means you don't need to bother recording the voice tags for each contact.

Personally I have a Nokia ear thingy HSD-26 I think, hardly use it, its not a newish one over a year old, works fine. Had looked at thos parrot thingys and all that, problem I have too much bits at the back of my head unit to fit any more bits, very very tight.

Thats the one I had, great phone, but getting on a bit now. The reasonI changed was money (of course) got the 500 minute, £15 deal from 3. I would swap the sim back and forth but have been advised that older phones dont like the 3G sims :-/

I prefer not to use it, as its a good excuse for not answering the phone while your driving e.g., (the wife/work), use it mainly if i go on a long drive.

Now that you mention it, I think there's a little bit of 'I should have one because every one else has' in my thinking.
Maybe I'll just get by without it ::)

Just as an update to this thread, I've put my old nokia back in the cradle and just divert all my calls to my old number when driving. Why didn't I think of that before. Doh!
