My New Jabra

Got this as my birthday present from my dearest. I have been looking around for a Bluetooth handsfree to go with my V9 for quite some time now. Actually we came across this Jabra BT3030 sometime ago in a newspaper ad I think. I did have a look at it during one of my trips to KL but did not commit to buy. I really liked the way it looked but it did not have the radio function like one of the Moto bluetooth set. For those using Moto phones, you would know that MOST, if not all Moto phones do not have the radio function built into the phone. :(

Now for the pics!

Its the “dog tag” style set. Has the dog tag look with V3 like buttons on it. I really like it. And since it has that V3 keypad look, it glows like it as well!! :)

The lights dim off when the buttons are not pressed and only the Jabra words blink to indicate it is connected to the phone. BTW the word Jabra blinks in different color according to the battery level. Blue when its above 70% full, orange in between and red when its less than 20%. And while charging the word blinks green and stays green once fully charged.

It comes with a chain as well as a clip (which I did not attach to yet) – so that you can clip it on your clothes instead of wearing it as a necklace. The thing is you can’t put the tag too far away from your face as the mic is on the tag and not on the earphones – unless you don’t mind taking out the tag and speaking into it every time a call comes in.

I did test the sound and mic quality while wearing the tag as a pendant. Apparently the mic quality is really good. No difference from speaking directly to the phone – according to the person on the other end of the line. And you can trust this person as she is the one whom I speak to most often over the phone – my dearest BB! :)

Listening to music from the phone is now so convenient as I just need to press play on the tag and my Moto starts playing from the last song I’ve listened to. Basic functions like FF, FW and volume works as it should.

If only Moto has its voice dial function better, this would have been a superb handsfree for me – calling from phonebook without the need to access the phone.
