Bang & Olufsen preps Earset 2 {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 9th 2007 12:27AM Just a note to confirm that I am having tremendous difficulty with the earset2 I just bought and a cdma (verizon) Palm 700p. Palm replaced the phone, no better, BO says they have heard about the problem with a 700p, but don't have enough data to be able to figure out what is going on other than a bad sync. Since I am on my 2nd phone and second earset2, at least they have consistency. The BO tech guys are really helpful, and want all the info, but don't know what it is yet. Basically, it is a loose sync probem (my description) and if the phone is more than 18 inches from the earset, too much static to use. And they say it is really great on every phone but the type I own, and the 700p is not exactly a budget phone.

Mar 9th 2007 12:17AM PROBLEMS WITH THE EARSET2 AND THE CDMA PALM 700P. I bought an earset2 (left) and immediately had problems with getting a proper sync with my verizon cdma palm 700p. they connect, but very loosely, and if the phone is more than about 18 inches *(yes, inches) away from the earset, there is so much static it is unusable. Verizon replaced my 700p, no better. Have been in regular contact with the US B&O tech guys, who say they have heard of it, and had some complaints, but don't think it is all 700p units. Unfortunately, no one keeps that expensive a headset long enough for BO to figure out what is wrong. Could be a software version issue, could be a problem with something that is in the cdma version that is not in the gsm version.
Has anyone else had this problem. Need to get it resolved. They will of course take it back, but I hate the plastic ones with the flashing blue light.
