Seeking user experiences on the Blue Ant v1 headset.

A lot of CNet users love it, many NewEgg reviews are extremely positive....wanted to find out comments from frequent fliers about their thoughts in the Blue Ant v1.

I've been using one for about the past month. Here are the high points (as compared to the Plantronics Voyager I used to use):

pro:
-mini USB charger, so no longer have to carry a dedicated charger
-voice prompts are very nice
- pairing is easy
- relatively comfortable to wear for long periods of time
- voice quality on both sides is generally good
- talk time is very good (I use it a couple of hours a day and it never seems to run out of "juice")

con:
-occasionally drops the connection in the middle of a call (used with an IPhone). This is not a huge deal, just an annoyance
- ear piece volume does not go high enough to easily hear quiet-voiced people in loud environments
- I can't seem to figure out how to train voice prompts to use people's names when the caller ID recognizes the name of the incoming call. This may just be a failing on MY part or an issue with my phone however
- cannot say "answer" until the voice prompt finishes receipting the incoming call number. With international calls, that can take a while....


Bottom line: I give it a moderate thumbs up. I don't love it, but I think it's probably one of the best ones I've seen so far.
