e815 and Moto H300

I recently bought an H300 as a cheap headset to use while my Nokia
BH900 was being repaired. It works fine with my Treo 700p.

I bought one for my wife's e815 and it paired OK. But after that it
would not connect. So I swapped to my old e815 and had the same
issue. I also tried my H300, same deal.

So both H300 work with Treo 700p, but neither work with e815. Has
anyone experienced this? Maybe there is later firmware for e815?

Thanks.

Jeff

During trying to find a suitable headset I went through 3 Motorolas. 2 H700
and one H605 for my E815. They were horrid. After calling Motorola many
times I was told by a Motorola tech that their headsets are made for GSM
phones NOT CDMA (especially Verizon). I asked why and he told me that CDMA
phones (specifically VZW more than others) causes too many troubles and they
do not guarantee performance with CDMA phones. Sure enough I gave my kid a
H700 for her Cingular RAZR and it's clear as a bell!
My bro has only Motorola and cdma handsets and headsets they sound like
$hit.

Thats bullshit. The only possible relevance this may have is RF
interference and even then CDMA is significantly less "intrusive" from
an RF standpoint than GSM, in most situations.

I suggest calling them back and making the same claims with a GSM phone.
You will get the line but CDMA and GSM will be reversed. They had no
intention of correcting the issue, they just wanted you off the phone.

Now I wouldn't be surprised if the e815 is seriously flawed. From every
review I've read it seems to be a total piece of shit all the way
around. I wouldn't know, I know better than to buy anything from
Motorola. Their phones, bt headsets, canopy, and everything else
they've sold within the last 8 years seems to be total crap. Their
products are, IMHO, substandard and often borderline on the point of
obnoxious (Canopy).

My el-cheapo (Tekram) BT earpiece sounds very good off my verizon lg
vx9800 with v5 firwmare. I've also had very little problem integrating
the vx9800 with my asterisk PBX via bluetooth (free access to my PBX
from VZW? oh yes!). About to order another line on my family share
plan to dedicate to this task...

Your phone/firmware/experience/mileage may vary.

You know it may be BS to YOU but not to me. I have seen and HEARD the
issues. I tried THREE different Mot BT sets and ALL 3 were crap. The very
same model works flawlessly on my GSM Razr. My bro uses ONLY CDMA and ONLY
Mot phones. along with ONLY Mot BT sets (and because of employment issues he
ONLY uses MOt equipt. I can tell you that EVERY BT and phone combo he uses
sounds like total shit. By contrast when I use my Plantronics HS on any of
my E815's it sounds fine. I hate it but it sounds fine. I also used a Jabra
set on my phone and it too sounded perfect. I should also add the bro has
ONLY the latest and greatest mot devices too. Yet I walk in store and get
the H700 pair it up to the GSM Razr and voila NO ISSUES sounds great. So YOU
tell ME why this obvious issue is BS. I concur it is not. Look at the line
of phones they have for GSM compared to CDMA. Except for the Q there are far
and away more. Why? Because for the most part GSM is a bigger target it's a
broader standard because it's pretty much a worldwide standard.
CDMA and in particular VZW's insistence on f^&king up the BT interface for
theiir own profit (damn the customer attitude) most likely contributes to
it. I was told this by 2 seperate technicians btw not 1. I have observed the
issue and non-issue first hand. I have no desire or need to call moto on
this. I bought a Plantronics 510 and sound wise it's perfect. I hate the
thing as it's functions do not work well with my phones but at least voice
is near perfect. So how CAN it be false?!
You can go off on the 815 all you want. This performance (lack of) existed
on all 3 of my 815's, it exists on my bro's razr, krazr and whatever else is
the latest and greatest (he gets them free) and every BT device he uses
sounds like shit so bad you cannot understand him. Absolutely no way to
carry on conversation when he uses them. So I will use the Plantronics until
I dump VZW (for reasons other than the BT issue) and switch to a GSM carrier
most likely AT&T/Cingular.
If you have enough time on your hands go ahead and try your experiment
yourself. Me I don't give a $hit anymore.
