Jabra BT800 with Treo 650

April 18th, 2005
Jabra BT800
My rating: 3 out of 5

With the Treo 650, after the phone rings about 4 or 5 times, the earpiece finally starts to vibrate, but no caller ID is shown at that point.

Once, I actually saw the caller ID and the earpiece ring at same time the phone rang, but in general the earpiece doesn’t respond to the Treo signal soon enough.

Thirdly, the earpiece starts powered down after taking it off the charger. Also, the earpiece powers down after sitting idle for a couple of hours, even though it has a full battery. The buttons feel kind of cheap for a $100+ item.

As noted in comments here, Jabra doesn’t seem to have a good track record of producing workable earpieces for the Treo.

As seen here, other bluetooth headsets out there for treo, I would choose the Sony Ericsson HBH 662 for the size, but none of the headsets reviewed stood out for small size, talk time, standby time and sound quality.

“Suddenly, I feel addicted…”

April 16th, 2005

I’ve become addicted to Tapioca Express faster than Starbucks. Their slogan, which is also emblazened on their cup, “Suddenly, I want more” is forboding of what will happen to you after a couple of weeks. Their FAQ can’t really explain why I would want more.

I cannot explain the reason for my repeated cravings other than it is something new and different than cafe mocha, caramel apple cider, or chai latte. At least, I have some variety in my addictions now.

One big issue which limits me to 5 drinks a week (one after work) instead of 10 (one before work and one after) is the lack of stores in San Francisco downtown SOMA/financial district area.
