Since the original thread was lost...

There is an echo issue with BB7520 with os4.0 and bluetooth. On most all headsets, when the volume is above 50-60% you will get a noticealbe echo from your own voice. This is avoidable by keeping the volume at lower levels whenever possible (this can be assisted by your choice of headset--those with speakers inside the ear canal will help more). So far in my personal quest for a bluetooth headset, I have tried the BlueTrek G2, the Bluespoon AX, the Motorola HS-810 and the 820, and the Jabra BT250. The one I am going to stick with is the Jabra BT250. I find it to be overall more comfortable than the others, and the fact that the speaker is inside the ear canal helps with keeping to volume low to avoid echo. I do wish that the Jabra was able to cancel a little bit more background noise, but that really isn't as much of an issue as the background noise with the Bluespoon or the HS-820.

That was going to be by next thread lol what is this forum's popular Bluetoth headset for the 7520, the BT250?

I have read in a few posts of people searching for headsets that don't have echo issues with the 7520, that the Sony Ericsson HBH-300 and HBH-660 are pretty good. Both these headsets have a large following of users, and are on the upper end of the price scale. Too bad I can't find one locally to try out, as I hate to lose money if I have something shipped to me and then to ship it back if I don't like it. :(

I think I am pretty lucky. My girlfriend got me a 7520 for Christmas, as well as a Jabra BT250.

As this is the only BT headset I have ever used, I don't have much to compare it to. However, the SLIGHT echo is bearable, IMO. You basically hear your own voice in the earpiece a fraction of a second after you are talking.

As I said, I think I will be able to handle it. The BT is pretty cool stuff.

Martin, because of the availablity of the HS-820 at best buy, that is the ONLY reason I tried it out.... Easy to return.

I can hear my voice in my Jabra 250. But it is like when you use a normal telephone, it isn't out of sync, so it isn't distracting to me.

Same here. I have tried just about every headset I can find locally just because it is easy for me to return them (and Best Buy actually had some good prices last month with their 20% off cellular accessories when you buy two accessories.
