5.0 out of 5 stars Works just like it is supposed to, July 10, 2010

I have used Cobras for years. They are reliable, and well built. When my old one finally died, after many years of reliable service, I went looking for a replacement, and when I saw this one was Bluetooth enabled, I went with it. I am very pleased. Linkup with my cell phone was quick and easy, and if you have used a radio before, it works just the same. Both hands are free most of the time, and your field of vision is not impacted, the way it is when using a cell phone on the road. In addition, many states are now banning the use of cell phone while driving. But this allows you to continue to use your phone, in a legal manner. (Washington State comes to mind, but there are others.) Almost I am glad my previous one died.

I read the reviews before purchasing this. I was not sure of the wisdom of walking away from Galaxy...however, the Bluetooth feature simply enticed me enough to fork over the money for it. I have tinitus bad (from Marine Corps) and I simply cannot hear my cell over it while driving my Dodge deisel.

However, I was concerned as to whether or not it would work with my cell: a Blackberry Storm. After reading another review, I was also worried about my carrier, Verizon.

Yet, I am happy to report, I hooked it up, and after a couple of attempts got it to recognize my phone. BUT...no sooner had I done that, than I lost the channel display! I remember reading another review where the reviewer said he had lost his channel display as well. I could not believe it!

So, my first call on the Cobra was TO Cobra technical support LOL I will add, the phonecall was very easy to hear and extremely clear. I held the mic up to my mouth like I normally do when speaking on the radio.

Anyway, tech support was busy (not a good sign) so I left a message describing the problem...and no sooner had I hung up than I fiddled with the nobs to familiarize myself further...and that is when I bumped into the dimmer nob.

DUH! I did not lose the channel display, I just had the blasted dimmer switch all the way down LOL I was quite relieved it was my own fault and not the radio's.

I will update more as I use this radio AS a radio, as well as a phone. Impressed so far:)

works as advertised, didn't even have to punch in the code for my smartphone to lock it in. connects every time I turn it on. Only issue has been that the noise canceling mic, seems to not knock down as much background as anticipated, so I need to roll up the windows to use it with any clarity. CB's have been allowed for over forty years as vehicle communication devices. great multifunction handsfree device. Military installations do not allow head worn bluetooth devices, and for the money, I get a handsfree device that does more than just talk to my phone. I am glad I chose this over installing or initiating the handsfree system in my truck. If you are gonna spend $200 on a handsfree system....definitely look this over. Cheaper bluetooths are available, but none that allow for backup communications.
