I can't believe some of the reviewers are so thick..

The design is obvious! It took my 9 year old daughter exactly 15 seconds to work them out. :-) the microphone is as good as anything I have used. I don't listen to radio, but I have used them as handsfree. Only problem I find (but then I find it with...

You've Been Using It Wrong

 

You've Been Using It Wrong

Poor Design!

 

Poor Design!

I received this as a birthday present, and thought that it would be really neat. I was wrong. It appears that the people at Nokia didnt really give this head set a test drive. When you are wearing the piece, the microphone is about 18 inches away...
