LG 8300 Demystified Finally !!
I am the guy who discovered the bluetooth disaster with this phone and now after a few months and testing of probably oh my god - 50 headsets, There is a way to enjoy the phone with bluetooth..
The 8300 and yes all 8300's have a Bluetooth design that has problems with echo to the outside caller with most headsets on the market, some more than others but they almost all do it..
Yes it's true that some people dont care about the outside caller getting the feedback and echos and that is okay. Some of us want a crystal clear conversation that you and the outside caller can enjoy. Well for those who want a good clear call at any volume level, you need to use the Plantronics 320 either the R model from VZW or the Silver one from Best buy or ...

The volume isn't loud enough on the 510?!?! Holy incorrect statements batman! The 510 is VERY loud. So loud that it hurts your eardrum if you have the headset all the way up and the phone all the way turned up. I don't know what you tried, but the 510 blows the 320 out of the water. I tried the 320 for one day and everyone complained about echo. I get ZERO complaints from the users of the 510!

I got to do some hardcore testing with the Voyager 510, witht he RAZR v3m and interestingly enough, the 510's volume actually changes the volume in the phone. Drop the level to say 3 bars in the phone, run it up on the V510 and try to raise it on the phone and you'll see that the headset already raised it in the phone.......
If you are talking to someone who is soft spoken, this combination will yield barely enough volume.(higher speed in a car) Also, if you are in windy conditions, the wind noise seems to drive both the recieve audio level down and the transmitt level down. (I did some confirmation testing in front of an airconditioning register, with and without an ADDITIONAL wind sock.) I just didn't seem to be working as advertised. ...

I personllay have a pair of RAZRwires that work awesome. No complaints from the other end about echo or any distortion of any sorts. So I guess that means there's two headsets that work really well out there.
