Bluetooth headsets for the Tour
does anyone have any recommendations for a good bluetooth for the Tour? I currently have the plantatronics voyager 510 which worked well with my curve, but people say that I sound very soft and can barely hear me when using it with my Tour. I tried it on my fiance's iPhone and when switching from bt to the handset it sounded exactly the same, which was loud and clear. Not so much with the Tour. with the bt on, I sound very soft, and when I switch to the handset on the tour, I sound fine.
is anyone else having this issue? and if not, what bluetooth are you using that works well with the Tour? thanks
This can be fixed (or made better)...
I also had the Plantronics Voyager 510 when I first got my Tour and had the same problem everybody else complained about. I found a thread on Howardforums.com that had a solution.
You will need to make some changes to the Device Properties on the Tour for your headset.
Options > Bluetooth > highlight your headset > press BB button > select Device Properties.
Change your settings to the following:
Trusted: Yes
Encryption: Disabled
Echo Control: On
This past weekend I purchased the Jawbone Prime and had the same problem. After I adjusted the Device Properties for the Jawbone, all was better.
I hope this helps.
How do I update the OS on my new Tour?

I just purchased my Blackberry tour yesterday and want to know how to update the OS> I have had problems, with my Bluetooth (original Jawbone) and with the handset as well.
