I've got to admit I didnt look for the model, but I believe they only have
the one fully installed car kit. (??) It has been paired to a nokia (BT
v1.2) very ordinary to the called party. Same performance as the blackberry
unit, it just turned out to be another **** aftermarked compromise HFK.
Maybe its just the blueant, I never had much faith in their quality.

I've shipped a few Supertooths. They have good audio, they use a DSP.
Had a few fail though, one after a year, one DOA. Either way, hassle
free exchange for new and in one case, upgraded product. Playing with
the X3 BT earpirece at the moment.

It's OK, but nowhere as good as a wired in car kit.

My wife has one which is "mated" to her Nokia 6230. My daughter bought
one recently and it works off her LG 3G flip-phone.

From the remote end, when speaking into the Blueant mike, it can sound
somewhat echoey, particularly if the car suffers a bit of road noise.
Other than that, it's not bad. Certainly value for money considering
that a decent car kit can cost around $400 and needs to be wired in.

Only drawback is that the Blueant doesn't offer extended reception like
a wired car kit with external antenna does.

Yeh, i'm going to fit a nokia microphone and see if it brings the quality
beyond 'ordinary'

You need to adjust both volume controls to find a suitable setting.
What you have described is an incorrect volume setting, with the echo.
Adjust the Supertooth to middle range and use the mobile's volume to
get a comfortable level.

Have you actually got signal problems? Not usually an issue with GSM,
more of a problem with CDMA and the old analog network. GSM cell size
is limited by design.

Thanks for the tip. We'll have a play with it. However, doesn't the
Blueant control all the volume levels? I thought that the mobile, say in
your pocket, handbag or whatever merely acted as a bluetooth connection
between the Blueant and the mobile network.

Not at the moment. But where we live GSM coverage is limited once your
out of the major towns and move away from the Princes Highway. CDMA
coverage is good, but then I have a CDMA car kit for my phone (Nokia
2280). The Blueant is used with the missus' phone, a Nokia 6230 in her
car.

If it wasnt a car kit problem, you would be on the right track. Gets even
trickier with an VY crummidore or a BA fowlcan, with 3 volume controls to
contend with.

It's a car kit problem, not a phone problem.

According to the manual it doesn't accept an external mike.

Blueant Supertooth? From what I can find, there is only the one model,
the Supertooth II, of which I have one. And all it has is an earphone
jack and a jack for external power/battery charger.

If you have another model that takes a mike, do you have a link to it?
