I have a BB 7520 & a Mac PowerBook. Is there a solution that will allow me to use the bluetooth to surf the web and check email on my Mac?

Nextel apparently disables the modem function in the 7520

correct

[mcchaz]

thats unfortunite

[Dawg]

they do give us a free spell checker lol j/k

[mcchaz]

now that sprint and nextel is all in the same, i may consider the treo 650 which will do this.

[Dawg]

just dont drop that treo youll be sorry

[mcchaz]

I'd imagine that I would be sorry if I dropped any phone.

[Dawg]

not really i have dropped my 7520 from 9 feet and still kicking along treos havent lasted 3 foot drops they are fragile phones but they have what you want

[mcchaz]

i haven't decided yet cuz i'm pretty happy with my Nextel service and have only heard horror stories about sprint.

you could say that again... my wife and I signed up for Nextel Service last year, before Nextel and Sprint announced the possibility of a merger... we had sprint service... god knows what we paid for, because the service just plain sucked.

Best bluetooth earpiece for 7520

/\ I use the Scala 500......havent tried anything else......got it cause of the rave reviews everywhere including here.....no background noise, good battery life....and thats all i really ask for....

[Dawg]

scala here as well

[dinlong]

used to have the scala - great headset

now have the hbh-660 - even better headset

[Meridian99]

dinlong - you may know exactly what I want to. is the SE hbh-660 compatible with Direct Connect AND does the caller ID work? Any problems?

[dinlong]

The headset works great with direct connect. When a person first beeps you it does take about a second to connect to the headset, so you hear the phone beep and then the headset. You do still have to use the dc button on the phone to respond (this is true of every headset though).

The caller id works, but only shows the number - it does not show the name of the person calling.

I have heard from some sources that the hbh-662 will show the name in caller id on some phone that the hbh-660 would not. I may actually pick one up in the next week or so. If I do I will be sure to post my findings here.

What are your thoughts about this unit's sound quality vs. the reviews by barjohn - he really likes the sound quality of the Plantronics V510 based on his testing.

[Meridian99]

oh. and how long have you had the HBH-660?

[dinlong]

I have had the hbh-660 for about 6 weeks now.

While I cannot compare this headset to the voyager (as I have not used that headset), I would say that while the sound quality is not perfect it is more than acceptable. As I have said before this headset is also quite loud, which for me is a major plus (most of my talking is done in the car with my stereo on).
