I can never hear my phone in my bag.

Not easy on my device, one has to do a refresh to see both services, and I thought I'd tried it in my various attempts. Does the trick. They might mention that in the manual (yes, I'm a dreamer ;) OK, got a hint on Expansys – disable both services/profiles: hands-free and headset.

HOWEVER: your phone recognises the bracelet as either "hands-free" or "headset". That means the phone redirects audio to the bracelet and turns its own microphone speaker off. End of story: you may be alterted to calls, but you can't communicate, because the bracelet has neither microphone nor speaker :0 Or am I missing something?

While the idea of it is very appealing to me, the actual product leaves much to be desired. It just feels very cheap. The product instructions back this up with typically poor grammar and an English-as-a-third-language feel. The charging port on the braclet feels quite loose as well. This thing is not going to last long. The buzz alert is also very weak unfortunately. All that I could live with if wasn't for the fact that the bracelet drops connectivity with my phone too frequently for comfort. I end up checking my phone for missed calls more than I would without it - which as you might guess - defeats the point entirely. For the quality level of this product, $50.00 is about ~$20.00 too much for what you get. If anyone out there decides to create a quality version of this, I would be definitely give it another shot. To anyone thinking about this purchase - I would suggest waiting until that happens. I bought this item from ThinkGeek as well.

After 10 seconds the connection would drop and the bracelet would power off. I followed all the instructions and I made sure it was completely charged before pairing. I even tried with my E61, Samsung Trace, Blast and i600. Same results for all. I was able to pair it with my Nokia N76, however it would only stay connected for about 10 seconds.
