Official Bluetooth Rating Thread!

Now that bluetooths are booming more than ever I am starting a rate your bluetooth thread.

My first bluetooth was the Plantronics Explorer 360.

Pros:
Price ($30.00)
Very comfortable
Very easy to sync
Long battery life

Cons:
Horrible sound
Could not hear on receiving end
Volume is extremely low
Not even worth $15.00

Other Thoughts: For the price more is left to be had. Suggest picking up a Motorola online for around the same price, except with much better quality and refinement.

BMW 135i, paired with 1st gen iPhone.

Pros:

You can drive it-
Easy to sync-
Outbound, people say it sounds good-

Cons:

Price ($41,000)
Inbound sound a bit "hollow" sounding-
Sometimes even with a good cell connection, the bluetooth connection crackles and is not great-
Sometimes you have to yell to be heard, again not dependent on the cell connection-

Other thoughts: Overall I would NOT buy this device again. It has many good qualities but FOR ME, it's no where near what I had hoped for.

Is there an update or possibly a fix for the 09's? I plan on picking up a late 09 or 10 next year.
