Pros: good sound quality, long talk time, good range, ease of use

Cons: large and bulky by current standards, rubber piece tears easily, charge port is lousy

The HS850 was my first stab at the world of bluetooth and it was decent a experience. I live in an area where often there isn't even a single bar of reception and to talk using the phone almost guarantee's a dropped call. Enter the bluetooth,... a device that allows me to place the phone in an area with reception and walk around and use it. The 850 is rather large by todays standards but made up for it in sound quality, talk time and range. Verizon stopped carrying it or I would still be using it. In addition it does have some short comings such as a terrible charge port, cheesy rubber ear piece that tears easily and a connect to answer phone time that is rather long. Overall, I really liked it it better than its replacement the 700 and I would certainly own another one. This bluetooth would be an excellent choice. Read more Less
