Folks, I'm sorry to say this is not a category where you can expect to get a decent piece for cheap...at least not this Jabra.
The design is attractive, and HUGE kudos to Jabra for the inclusion of both AC and car chargers (YAY!!!!!!!!)...but it just doesn't work well at all. It's totally simplex, so it's like being on a two-way radio...only one side can speak at a time. On a desk, it's annoying. In a car, it's totally unusable.
I know this item is tempting, because Jabra usually builds really good stuff and the price of this is half as much as its nearest competitor...but its performance is completely inadequate. Suck it up and spend the extra bucks on the Motorola HF820. It's VERY much worth it. The Motorola is ADEQUATE for the job; this one just doesn't cut it.
Maybe the SP500 will live up to Jabra's excellent reputation, but for now I'm happy with my HF820.
 Not that bad with skype - in home use January 13, 2006

In a quiet environment like my home, it works quite well with Skype. My folks claim to hear my loud and clear. I would have given it at least 4 stars but for other problems. I have not tried it in a car with a mobile phone.
The unit as it arrived, would not turn on or charge up. The green light kept flashing. Strangely, this charging light is located under the microphone instead of at a more prominent location. I guessed what the problem was - many battery charging circuits refuse to charge up completely dead batteries (zero volts on them). I took the batteries out, manually charged them and finally got the thing working. It later turned out that one of the rechargeable batteries would hardly hold any charge - defective from the start - but instead of dealing with tech support, simply replaced with with other ones I had lying around. An irritating thing is that the device does not work on mains power unless the batteries can be charged inside. If the charging circuit sees an error, the entire device stops working.
Now onto the second problem - One day I dropped the device onto the carpet. It stopped working - plugged it it - and the batteries would not take charge. Curious, I first opened up the battery compartment and the battery immediately fell out. It turns out the mild drop had bent and flattened the leaf spring holding the battery in place. If they had used a traditional coiled spring as the negative terminal, this would not have happened. While I managed to bend the leaf spring back in place, the metal now has enough stress that it will break on the next drop. Very stupid design.
Jabra seems to have lost its way a bit - a headset I own is just going great - after a year! (see my other reviews)
Worthless speakerphone January 12, 2006

This product is worthless, you can hear the incoming call fine but they cannot listen to you. It's pretty frustrating trying to have a conversation using this. Save your money and buy something else that works.
Save your money! January 3, 2006

I bought 3 of these on clearance as gifts thinking it was a great deal. I was too embarrased to give them. I kept one for myself - and have learned to suffer through it. The included batteries wouldn't take a charge, the speaker consistently quits (speaky, but no heary). can't get the light to quit flashing as instructed. I hope the newer version actually works!
