This is my first Bluetooth headset, and I personally love it. I've seen reviews where they say the mic rests on your cheek and I can see how it could. Fortunately my face is shaped just right for this.
It was easy to set up and even easier to learn to use.

Pros:
Price: Down signifigantly from the MSRP
Size: Small and light, you can easily forget you're using it.
Volume: from what I understand this is a fallback in many BT headsets. This one is fine.
Flip out boom mic: the on/off functionality of this is great.
Battery life: I'm charging this every 2-3 days, without needing to, I love it.

Cons:
Maybe too light, "feels" gentle, I don't want to test the ruggedness of this as I like it too much to lose it.

Overall: I love it, and would highly recommend it (as long as you don't encounter the mic problem some people run into (read a few reviews you'll see)

Too late to help the previous reviewer, but I just found out that you can lock the H700 into pairing mode as follows: With the headset off, press and hold the talk button until the purple light comes on. Then open the boom and release the button. The headset will now stay in pairing mode for as long as you like.

ObReview: I had an H500 before and hated it for reasons that I won't go into here because this is an H700 review. I finally tried the H700 and mostly loved it. I have a few problems with noise when it's not line-of-sight to the phone. A friend has had no end of trouble getting hers to pair with her Treo. It's easy to accidentally mute (by holding both volume buttons at the same time), causing people to think it's broken.

But all in all, I love it. They completely nailed the user interface. My typical way to use it is to have it turned off and in my pocket. When I get a phone call and realize it's going to be a long one, I reach for the H700, open the boom and put it on. It typically connects with my phone and picks up the call by the time I have it on my ear.

When I first got this device, it worked fine. Now there is more static with most of my calls. I used to be able to walk away from my cell, but now I have to be close to it when using my earpiece or there's no reception otherwise.

This headset works great with my Treo 700P. It connects quickly, is sufficently loud enough, and people seem to be able to hear me with little or no problem. My only issue was that I thought it would be black all over, and it appears to be the normal H700 that everyone else is selling. I was happy enough with the performance not to let the color bother me.

The H700 sent to me will only stay in pairing mode for 1 second. I am unable to pair my phone with the headset bc it doesn't stay in pairing mode long enough. I own another H700 already and the packing of the H700 I ordered from this retailer is different from the H700 I already owned. I am returning this H700 today.
