Nokia HDB-5 Boom Earset

I am a fairly advanced electronics user (including cell phones), yet in this case, the item (wired headset) was not functioning. You could hear static, or even a word or two of a conversation, which rendered the headset completely useless. I bought the...

None that I could detect

I am not a complainer, but this item was virtually non-functional. So, in this section I would be forced to classify it "As weak as it can get", because it did not work

Nokia HDB-5 Boom Earset

Cords are major hitches but wireless earpieces would make this product very expensive. Often, the caller on the other end gets a buzzing sound. I have to remove the boom when this happens so the other caller can hear me.

Nice design

Cord and Buzzing noise

READY/NOT-READY for DISPATCH UPON RECEIPT

When an advertisement says "Item Ready For Dispatch Upon Receipt" and when I pay an additional fee for 2-day delivery, I don't expect to wait 3-4 days for the item to even LEAVE THE WAREHOUSE! If it is going to take this long to process the order then...
