I should add I dislike the way the v551 interface works, it seems hard
to use. In addition voice dialing doesn't work as well as I would like
with my Motorola bluetooth headset. There is some button combination
on the motorola headsets that does redial and I'm always triggering
that sequence while the headset is in my pants pocket. I would look
to other bluetooth head sets than motorola. Sure wish my Sony Ericson
T616 was not having issues as I really liked that phone. The T616
also worked with OSx as a bluetooth mouse. Just the geeky thing for
presentations.
