 Pleasantly Surprised! Works very well with the 3G iPhone. August 19, 2008
I've been trying to decide for several weeks which bluetooth speakerphone to purchase and have been reading a lot of reviews, including an OEM add-on kit, those popular here on Amazon, and also the one bluetooth speakerphone available in the Apple Store. Several of the devices are feature rich but alot of those features were not supported on my 3G iPhone except by third party add-on applications.
I had not read the reviews about the Jabra sp5050 until at Best Buy a few days ago. I noticed the sp5050 had been marked down to less than $60 so I used my iPhone to get on Amazon and read the pretty good reviews here. Some of the systems I've been considering were several hundred dollars so I thought what the heck, for $60 I would give it a try.
I took it out to the call, plugged it in and quickly and easily paired it with my iPhone. I made a couple of calls; one to home and talked to my wife and she didn't even know I was on a speaker. The other call was just to leave a voice mail on my office phone and I couldn't tell any difference between my iPhone or the Jabra speaker.
The features that are supported by the iPhone work well. Voice dialing is not supported by the iPhone presently so I can't comment on that. This bluetooth speaker is not what I consider feature rich but it does what I need to do. I have my iPhone in a cradle high on the front of the dash just beyond the steering wheel, so dialing on the iPhone large numbers is not an issue.
As stated above, purchasing the Jabra sp5050 possibly saved a couple of hundred dollars or more and I'm pleasantly surprised how easy it is to operate and the clarity of the sound...and it works with my 3G iPhone. It does more than I expected for the price, thus the 5-stars.
I like it August 17, 2008
Overall, I am very pleased with this unit. It is small. Easy to use. The battery holds up well and charges from the car cord in a couple of hours. I have used it to carry on long conversations and that is where it really shines. The volume is a little low at highway speeds in my Honda Accord but it is useable. On city streets or stopped in traffic it is great. I have asked people who I talk to if I need to pick up the phone and they say no they can hear me fine. Once in a while I have to use the "Use Bluetooth" menu to get it to reconnect if I have been out of range and the units loose connection but that is just a couple of clicks on my Motorola Razor 3x. Many times I get back to the car and it just connects and we are ready to go. Other than the volume limitation on the highway I'd give it a 5 star....So it is pretty good unit....
lightweight and good clarity August 12, 2008
With the handsfree law taking in effect in CA, I looked at several bluetooth speakerphone devices for my wife (she refuses to use those earbuds). The clarity of the Jabra has been very good, on both ends of the conversation. The noise cancelling technology seems to work as good as the built-in one in my car. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law have both bought one after talking with my wife when she was using the Jabra.
I also like the low weight of the device - all of these units clip to the visor, and it seemd like some of the heavier units were likely to slip off if you flipped the visor down.
 Volume Too Low August 11, 2008
The volume on this speakerphone was too low and could not be adjusted. I returned it.
Works well but needs AC charger August 11, 2008
The unit works well. It would get a 5 star rating if it had an AC charger rather than the car charger.
