- The Boom Headset (HDB-5) does NOT work for the Nokia 2600
I researched and ordered the Nokia Boom Headset (HDB-5) for the Nokia 2600, which was suppose to work for the Nokia 2600. Upon receiving it I was very disappointed because when I would plug it into my Nokia 2600 it kept coming up with the message 'enhancement not supported'. I tried everything to get it to work (including taking it over to my cell phone store and asking them if I was doing something wrong). They couldn't even come up with an answer. You need to take the Boom Headset (HDB-5) off of the list of enhancements for the Nokia 2600, because it does not work for that model. As you can see it gets a very low rating from me, since it didn't work for my cell phone. Your list of enhancements is very misleading and right now I have no hands off device for my Nokia 2600 because of your misleading list. - Not as described!
The product description on Amazon's web page indicates that this headset is compatible with the Nokia 2600 phone. So I ordered two of them together, but neither one worked with my Nokia 2600. Since the seller would only refund my purchase price and original shipping charges, I had to pay the return shipping costs myself. So I'm now back to square one with no headset for my phone -- and with less money in the bank than before. The only reason I'm giving this headset one star is because I wasn't able to proceed with my review unless I rated it at least one star! - Works
This headset worked with my nokia 2610. Sound is fine and people said they could hear me just fine. The ear piece is a little uncomfortable to me and probably not something I'd want to use hours on end but it works. - earpiece broke after 5 months
Bought it several months ago. It DOES work with my nokia gold phone. Works fine but the drawbacks are:
No way to boost the volume on it any more than by adjusting your phone volume.
Wire could be just a few inches longer.
Rubber part of earpiece is breaking at the flex point.
I don't know if I'll try buying this one again or look for one with a stronger design. Overall it was fine, but it didn't last that long before earpiece started breaking down. - Got what I paid
I used this headset frequently for about 6 weeks. It didn't hold up and the microphone quit. Probably a wire pulled apart under stress (bending, stretching, taking off my jacket?). I didn't get ripped off, since I only paid $5.54, but I got what I paid for. Ed
