Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood
How's the E815 for Bluetooth and voice features?
I have the 8100 (having owned 4 LG's total, 2 were excellent and 2 weren't) that when the 8100 came out I thought it would be great, I was mistaken.
Long story short version-- D.C. requires you to be on headset or hands-free device while driving. Yesterday, I couldn't hear the party calling me when I had it on speaker phone and the voice commands on bluetooth kept coming up with other options (I'd ask for Home and it would ask if I wanted to call Voicemail). I've also had the phone reset itself a couple of times.
What I want to know is how is the Bluetooth feature on the E815- does it recognize commands correctly, is it clear when calling or is there a lot of static, etc.
The other question is- how good is the speaker phone- nice ...

I was just like you. I had 2 lg8100's before I switched to the e815. The speakerphone is definatly better, I use my bluetooth hs820 and it works pretty well. No echo and the voice command has less trouble recognizing. I had the hs850 headset with the 8100 and it was aweful. So far the only complaint that I had with the 815 is that the get it now software was not on my phone when I got it, they had to download it after the fact. But as a phone, it works better than the lg did. And I too come from a line of lg phones, this one just plain and simple works for me.

I just got my rig and people have told me there is echo when I use the headset. They say it's slight, but there.
I can't hear it, though, but in the car, the headset somewhat hard to hear over road noise. If I turn it up, it starts to distort a bit.
Overall, I'm happy with the phone and headset. I have used the speakerphone in the car, and it works great. Clear, and the people on the other end say I sound "ok."

I find the speakerphone to be quite loud, but I don't use it very much so I may not be a good judge of this.
