"It does the job that is was made to do with a little fun"
Pros: voice prompts, comfort, battery life, changeable ringtones and number ID
Cons: Instructions take some time to digest
Summary: This is the best unit I've tried at a great price. I stumbled upon it while looking at a review of the Plantronics 855. One reviewer wrote that he liked his southwing SH440 better. The rest is "history". First of all, I purchased mine on Ebay and it arrived in only 2 days. The unit is small and lightweight. It came with a user guide and quick reference sheet. The instructions will take you awhile to figure out how to use the multiple features such as: 12 changeable ringtones, announced battery strength, phone number ID, and how to use the volume up/down and multifunction buttons. Be patient when reading the guide and I believe you'll be pleased with this item. It is comfortable to wear for long periods, more so with the removable ear hook than without. It takes a forceful snap to place the ear hook on and likewise to remove it. The SH440 even helps you pair it with voice prompts. The pairing was smooth and the sound is very acceptable with my Motorola v323i, even though other website reviewers have said the sound wasn't that great. Well, it is for me. Static started when I separated the two units more than 10 feet (but do you really need to do that anyway?). The battery strength is announced each time the unit is turned on, which I find quite helpful. I have tried many bluetooths including: plantronics 520, 610, and 655, Samsung Wep 200, and Jawbone. Let's face it folks - no bluetooth device is going to work perfectly with any one type of cellphone. There will always be some dissatisfaction along the way. I have to say that I found a good combination and the Southwing works great for me.
