Jabra BT200 Freespeek Bluetooth Headset review

The operation of the headset still depends of which version you have. The additional features supported by the Hands-free profile version are:

• Last Number redial (when not on a call) – press the RECEIVER button until you hear two short   beeps
• Rejecting an incoming call – press the RECEIVER button until you hear two short beep
• Call waiting (swapping between 2 calls) – When the phone notifies you of another incoming call while you are on a call, press the RECEIVER button until your hear two short beeps, then release.
• Putting a call on hold – while you are on a call, press the RECEIVER button until you hear two short beeps and then release. Repeat to retrieve the call.

The BT200 features very few controls like most similar products. There is a rubberized rocker switch used to adjust the volume up and down and a rubberized answer / hand-up (RECEIVER) button. If the user does not have a lot of experience with the headset, the volume switch is somewhat difficult to find. Even after five months of use I still have some issues with it. On the other hand, I do not use it most of the time. The volume can be easily adjusted from the user's phone.
On the contrary, the Answer / Hand-up (RECEIVER) button is very easily located. It has an engraved image of a receiver. If there is an incoming call, press the received to pick up. The call can be ended if the receiver is press again. To voice-dial, press the receiver button and wait for the prompt.
The voice-dial feature worked great with my T68i, but the Nokia 3650 seemed to have a great deal of difficulty recognizing who I was trying to call.

My original Jabra was the first version which supported only the Headset profile. The only sounds that it was producing were one built-in ringer tone, a low-battery warning and a beep sound. If you have a phone featuring MP3 player you will not be able to listed to music using your Jabra.
Fortunately, Jabra is willing (at least they did it for me and I've read they've done it for a lot of other users) to replace your old Head-set only Freespeak for the newer Head-set / Hands-free version for FREE! Kudos to Jabra! Just drop them an email and they will give you the instructions of what to do.
After you upgrade to the latest version and if you have a phone that supports Hands-free Bluetooth profile, you will be able to hear every sound that comes from your phones – music, game sounds – everything. Other HUGE improvement (even though I am not sure if this is due to software improvement in the Jabra or due to Nokia's better bluetooth implementation) in the sound quality and range! The older BT200 version would occasionally cut off, distort sounds etc. The newer one is almost flawless!
