Simplify your laptop buying
Features of the WEP500 are fairly standard. They include answering, ending, and rejecting calls, voice dial support, last number redial, call mute, placing a call on hold, answering a second call, and the ability to transfer a call from the phone to the headset and vice versa. You can also choose to turn the indicator light on or off. The WEP500 Bluetooth headset comes with a compact charging case with a plastic swivel lid. You can't charge the headset without the case, so be sure not to lose it.
We paired the Samsung WEP500 with the RIM BlackBerry Pearl. It paired successfully without any problems. Call quality was fantastic--voices sound loud and clear in quiet office environments as well as on noisy city sidewalks. We were impressed with the noise-reduction and echo-cancellation technologies, as well as the automatic volume control that adjusts the volume to make up for changes in background noise. That said, it won't prevent extremely loud background noise from places like a crowded bar or restaurant. For day to day situations though, we found it more than sufficient.
The Samsung WEP500 has a rated talk time of up to 3.5 hours and a rated standby time of 3.3 days.
