I really like the "cool" headset from Nokia, I hope, will agree with me are people who use them. It's all good - and furniture, and design and materials, and a way of wearing, and voice quality, all-all-all. Or, more precisely, almost everything, because one can find fault and to the post. Models BH-500/501 were issued in spite Jabra JX-10, which asked the trend for similar stuff on the market, it has become fashionable to have not only expensive high-quality phone, but equally high-quality accessories. However, everything changed, and today we will talk about the successor of the first "vosmisotok. Incidentally, for aksessuariki Nokia's confusion with names already quietly started on various markets devices are called differently, what we have BH XXX, in another country will be HS XXXX. Same thing with numbers, a series with the number 8 - the most expensive devices such as mono or stereo, the idea is so. Series 9 (her representative - BH900) - the device more sophisticated than the branding, with the price, which can be called "above average". I recall that in the accessory digest had a few stuff from the ninth series. However there is one big question: Accessories are updated more frequently than phone numbers, and next year may well start mess with models 811, 812, 813, 915 and so on, to fashion things is not very great. Moreover, shaped as letters BH (Bluetooth headset) have each headset company might be worth to do as Jabra, after a series of JX was invented for a reason, and for otpozitsionirovaniya from all other classes of devices. To summarize, the specialists Nokia has not yet trying to somehow highlight the name of the road aksessuariki, but it is quite possible that they will not pass this cup. Consumer who spent a decent amount on things, should be able to tell your friends, abruptly: "I took zee three, it is the coolest headset Nokia». But "bi eych bought eight hundred and three" somehow does not sound.
Design and construction
If you have not read the reviews of BH 500/501, it's not too late to do it, there was a lot of design, perception, and other blah-blah-blah. What is the BH-803? In fact, this small rectangular brusochek of steel and a smooth glossy plastic. "Bottom" and the key is disguised as a ring, made from the first, everything else - from the second. Since the plastic (of excellent quality, by the way) is varnished, it is perfectly collects traces of your fingers, they are quite noticeable.I think that was worth to the surface is slightly corrugated, it would add charm and allowed to compete with the traces. Overall impression of the design - is there vylizannost, lacks a little Circuits that there was an indescribable delight. However, I'm still not told about the availability, may be, there is the very small change? So, there are lace to be worn around the neck with a metal clip (it is interesting that the very cord of rubber) and tiddly holder for attachment to the shoulder straps of trousers, jeans. And this is the karabinchik I really liked hanging jeans on the headset, you realize that the company offers an interesting scenario. It is clear that you can carry and the Thing in my pocket without any problems, but then it turns into a stylish accessory, something like an expensive trinket. Sam carbine looks decent, it is not particularly noticeable, the color became the same color as the body, to a belt or clothing clings tightly-tightly. Good, very good pitch.
Assembly to talk about nothing special, this is no problem, it just is good. Attachment to the speaker is removed easily, it's made, as far as I understand it, not silicone, and soft rubber. No hint of backlash, the creaking and the like do not have a feeling of monolithic construction. On sale will be present BH-803 black and gray, in my opinion, Nokia may well extend the color gamut by adding a red, white, green alternatives.
Wearing
The headset can be worn two ways - simply by inserting into the ear or to do the same, but with a bow, in which case planting as a reliable, well you can play sports and not worry about what the 803rd rally. The speaker is wide enough, some girls never got to wear it, no matter where, wearing a silicone cap or not. Bow is inserted into a groove, she is thin, weightless, made, apparently, made of metal, can not be afraid to break it. No trouble wearing I personally have not experienced all extremely comfortable; say that wore it about four hours without removing. The device is unobtrusive, and there is small size, and color is not particularly remarkable, the ear looks like a lacquered stick, it's easy to hide under the long hair, a hat with ear-flaps, etc. As you can imagine, from changing the amount of the ear does not change, all controls remain in place.
Management
And now we come to one very interesting feature of this model, which is probably the company's representatives and vendors will be used as a key point, a key feature, not only as yet unseen. Thus, the BH-803 is exactly one button to control everything except the volume control. Actually, the key to call it the language does not rotate - it deftly inscribed into the body of the metal bracket by clicking which you can answer calls, switch between the lines, to activate voice dialing, last number dial. I must say all these things work well, very well, and the button is to be commended. No less loud commendable and the light, which is located on the inner side of the body near the podium speakers, small such indikatorik, visible only when it is needed.When charging it glows red when the battery is "full", then turns green when paired with the phone shines a nice blue color. Very, very good indicator, made with the mind. Now, the most interesting - where is the volume buttons? And they, in fact, there is the touch pad on the front, holding his finger to his ear, you increase the volume by doing the opposite - reduce. Clearly, this is great, and just as clear that winter on the street can be a problem with control, but nonetheless, it's innovation - a good innovation. Still, the consumer 803rd likely to have a car, which is not terrible cold, so the curse of the sensor, I will not. Moreover, it works well enough, you get used to it quickly.
Food
Well, here we have lived up to the moment when the headset jack Nokia has changed, it is identical to what is in the Nokia N76, will appear in other models of the company. In principle, I'm fine leg of the current memory is not like, do not seem reliable. Moreover, a couple of devices I already broke (better to say "they broke", but it is not). It is possible that the new charge was introduced, not only because of greater reliability, it is certainly in the production cheaper. Connector takes place, in my opinion, a little more, but apparently, the company went on to replace reason. Claimed battery life of 6 hours of talk time and 160 hours standby time, charging time is approximately one hour. Battery capacity - 125 mAh lithium-polymer it for use on the street is not the best option. Real-time work in practice, quite similar to the claimed figures, I had the BH-803 for three days after a full charge, the call was somewhere in two hours, cut-off was not. The figure is not particularly great, but not bad, quick charging time, so that any problems with this option there. For a car you can use a car charger for the N76.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
Immediately say, that in my arms was a serial pattern. Such a stipulation is necessary because I am having trouble connecting to the phone is not the parent company. From SonyEricsson P1 headset without any problems united, but that during the call connection is dropped. From SE W880 on stage sending the password and set up the connection process hangs, and disable it turned out, only taking out the battery. For the P990 is characterized by the same picture. This question I discussed with a representative of the company, in general, the list of supported devices have all models from Nokia, starting with the 3250, about the machines of other brands are not talking. Let's hope that the problem will still be solved, at least I'll make a formal request asking to deal with this disease. It is possible that there is any problem at the level of software that can be solved, for such a long time since I've never seen before, like the old days, when the products of Nokia have not worked with the staffs of other brands. If, however, then it may be, and was justified, but now if the product is really high-quality, consumers will not hesitate to use your Nokia and Sony Ericsson headset and vice versa.
However, Providence was on my side, for along with the Nokia BH-803 I took in the company of Nokia N93, just in case. As you can imagine, the case has turned up. With this smartphone device skonnektilos very quickly and correctly, as was the correct operation of all control keys and functions. Involuntarily start to think that it is such a cunning plan. Voice quality is perfect, there is a DSP, the volume is large, you can hear perfectly and have no idea what you are saying is not on the phone.For the machine is also characterized, however, the parties still hear the radio playing, the other road sounds, but you, again, heard well. I sometimes regret that I can not demonstrate the quality of a headset, however I have idea how to solve this problem, and as soon as you can not only read but also to see for yourself.
Working correctly last number redial, switching between the lines, hang up and receive calls. Adjusting the volume does not cause problems, an interesting point: if slowly slide your finger over the surface of the headset, you can not adjust the volume of the stairs, and lift it "until it stops, you can see how to fill in the division on the phone. If you swipe your finger quickly, the increments will be equal to one or two divisions.
Conclusions
Nokia BH-803 will go on sale this fall, the average price will be about four and a half thousand. For this money you can buy a lot of useful things for the home and family, let's look at the pros and cons of the device before making a final conclusion on the "take or not take." Pros:
Rich furnishings, there is an interesting rifle to carry on your belt
Excellent design
Innovative control volume control that works well
Good, close to excellent voice quality
Good ergonomics
Disadvantages are:
Does not work with all devices on the market
Very average working time
Speaker is not suitable for every ear
Let's hope that by the time the headset on the shelves of software will replace the same, and the problem will disappear by itself. I can safely recommend the BH-803 to the purchase, it is very balanced and high quality solution, but primarily it will suit the owners of smart phones and expensive phones from Nokia, are willing to pay good money for a stylish and well-functioning gadgets. If we talk about competitors, it would Jabra JX-20 and the Motorola H12, and some of their own models from Nokia. I would recommend the purchase to pay attention to the design of these amusing gizmos and dance from the "NDA or no NDA, functionally these very expensive sets will be comparable.
