Anytime I have a question I've been able to get a quick response from them whether it be email or telephone.

For what its worth, my Pearl is synced w/ the phone features of the 2820 (via bluetooth) and worked perfectly out of the box - no issues at all.
I'm not discounting Stinsonddogs past experience w/ them - but did want to say that in my experience, its all been very favorable.
