I bought the SD7500 series phone after the long wait between the CES announcement and the actual release. While I have a couple of small gripes about the phones (quiet speakerphone, rounded base doesn't allow phone to stand on its own, cheaper than expected build quality) the features of the system are outstanding. The wireless camera works well (although it needs to be in relatively close range to the phone base station to work - had to relocate mine from where I wanted to have it). This product - the bluetooth accessory, works perfectly and is a great way to access your cell phone calls when at home without having to keep a phone in your pocket all the time.

I finally found a phone that is designed for users, not geeks! Every thing about the phone is intuitive so the manual really isn't necessary (as opposed to many things that I own that need a manual but do not ship with one). The address book feature is easy to set up and use. Other phones I have had in the past required me to remember a two digit number to recall an address book entry - this phone has a central list of names I can scroll to. This address book is available to all phones on the system. Also, there is a bluetooth connection to my cell phone so when I come home I simply put the cell phone near the base station and press the bluetooth button. While I am home, if anyone calls my cell number, it rings through the system phones. I can even dial out using the cell phone from any of the handsets in the house. My only negative comment is that the voice quality seems a bit "tinny" at times but otherwise I think it is a very good product.

This accessory is useful. The dock cannot be used to charge all Motorola phones. I have a SLVR phone and I can't use the dock to charge it. But overall, there a enough functions on the dock and it can be adjusted pretty straigthforwardly. The "connect automatically function" isn't that great especially when you come back home talking to the phone. It transfers it automatically to your homephone while you're talking... I prefer the manual mode!

I bought this piece for my Motorola phone system because I sometimes work at the house and my office is in the basement. I have marginal cell coverage as it is so the cell is dead in the basement. This has allowed me to get the calls and I can answer them using the home phone system..how cool is that. sofar it has worked great and I'm not going to give it up without a fight....excellent.

I've had one of these for more than 6 months, to connect a Moto PEBL into our phone system.
It works very poorly. Making outgoing calls is fine, but every once in a while when an call comes in we pick up using a handset but can hear nothing and neither can the caller.
It cannot be used to charge the PEBL.
Another problem is that it interferes badly with our 802.11b WiFi system (it effectlvely disables a wireless music streaming device in the same room). We've unplugged it; I wish I had returned it.

It took me about 5 minutes to set this up, and it works exactly as advertised. Now I come home and place my cell phone on my desk and don't have to worry about its location for the rest of the evening. I assigned a different ringtone for cell calls, but once I receive a call I sometimes forget if I'm on the cell or the land line.

I subtracted a star because the charger does not fit my RAZR V3m. One would think that they would be pushing this product towards somewhat tech-savvy people, but it doesn't charge miniUSB (it has long thin connectors-I forget the name of them-that would've been perfect for me about 3 cell phones ago).

I bought this phone system (base + extra b/w extension) over the summer specifically because of the forthcoming bluetooth cell dock. After waiting for months, it finally came out late fall. Bluetooth is difficult to set up on my Motorola cellphone (if any cellphone should be easy, it should be one made by the same company). Dock doesn't work as a charger for my phone. I rarely use it because once it is set up, it then becomes difficult to revert to landline calls. Should have probably returned it.
