Hola. I'm back. On 1st December 2006, after almost crack my head (hmm cheapskate actually), i bought the Nokia HS-26W, a bluetooth headset. I'm not gonna tell you what is the bluetooth technology. If you never heard of bluetooth or wanna get more info, just google it. Finally, i get the best bargain (at least the salesman made me think it's a good bargain).
It costs me RM189, inclusive the cable adapter for charger. The normal price (as what the salesman told me) is RM299.
What's in the box? 1 set of bluetooth headset (duh), a charger and manual book. And it comes with a warranty for 1 year, by Zitron (one of authorised dealer for Nokia).
The technical spec? The Nokia HS-26W is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 supporting the following profiles:
1. Headset Profile 1.1
2. Handsfree Profile 1.0
However, i advise you to check with the manufacturers of other devices to determine their compatibility with this device. It has three buttons:
1. Power key
2. Volume key
3. Answer/end key
How to configure this headset? Very simple. Switch on the headset, activate the bluetooth function on your handphone, and set the phone to search for bluetooth device. Select the headset, enter the passcode, and connect the headset to your phone. But, this might vary for other phones, especially the non-Nokia.
Functionalities? With compatible phone, you can answer/end call, voice dialing, redialing and switching an active call between the headset and the compatible phone.
My experience with HS-26W? I'm not the type who's gonna wear this thing all the time. Most of the time i use it when driving. If u wear it long enough, ur ear might feel a bit sore. It's light, didnt burden ur ear. Because of the shape, it looks like a thumbdrive.
In terms of voice clarity, we can hear the caller quite clear. The only setback is the volume level. Even at the highest level, still not loud enough, especially if u r in the noisy environment.
It doesn't have the noise cancellation feature, which is to improve the clarity of our voice to the caller. I can live without it anyway. Not a big deal.
Later on, i'll update on the performance of this device.
