		<description><![CDATA[I have the Calisto myself, it is great value even though it is not cheap. Wireless headsets usually cost around this amount anyways and in the case of Calisto, you are getting a USB,l land line and mobile capable unit. Almost a 3 in 1 value for the product!

I found the buttons a bit small but manageable. The ear piece could also have a better design in that it is not adjustable (most people are not one size fits all).

Buyers beare,, this only works on a ONE line phone.

		<description><![CDATA[1. Mac software now available.

2. Display is small, so is the type. Most cell phones have a larger display.

3. TINY keys on the phone; difficult to dial quickly with adult fingers.

4. Good sound quality.

5. Earpiece seems fairly comfortable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s kind of a nightmare in disguise.  I do not sync to my PC either.  I just wanted a small phone with a bluetooth headset that has all the features that this phone does.

I&#039;m now waiting for another phone from Staples as the first one was defective.  The headset did not charge on the base unless you fiddled around with it to get the red light to come on. You had to press it it onto the connector firmly but the first one layed tilted and did not connect well. It would, it then turned blue to indicate it was fully charged, and then it went back to red for no reason, and then nothing.  The handset volume could be louder for me...maybe I&#039;m just too old!

It definitely has some quirky things about it.  I was impatient waiting for a replacement and bought another unit in Office Depot.  This unit works better but it&#039;s not perfect.  The sound is much improved though.  This one charges fine but the handset is ALWAYS CHARGING!  And, I&#039;ve noticed the headset light is blue but will suddenly change on its own to red to charge, even though I did not use it.  Is this unit always supposed to be in a &quot;charging&quot; status?  I called Plantronics and they said they&#039;ve had few units returned for the failure of the headset to clip to the connector properly.  Add mine now to that list.

I also find if I&#039;m not wearing the headset when there&#039;s an incoming call, I clumsily put on the headset and try to quickly push the button inward to hopefully connect in time before my caller leaves a message or hangs up.  I&#039;m not liking that little button thingy at all.

The concept is neat but I think that so many of the new regular cordless phones are bluetooth capable too for alot less money and probably more features.  They are just alot bigger but since I don&#039;t plan to carry my phone around, it doesn&#039;t matter what&#039;s laying next to my monitor on my desk.

For $279.99 it should have been perfect the first time and it&#039;s still not the 2nd time.  We&#039;ll see what happens with the 3rd unit.  3 strikes it&#039;s out and back to the store!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;Hold the phone!&lt;/strong&gt;  I purchased the Calisto Pro first day out from Sharper Image and have discovered a real problem if you are a telecommuter and use a calling card for long distance.  The &quot;chain calling&quot; function limits you to only 24 characters, so if you have a number you call into, then the number you are calling and finally an authorization code you will not be able to get all the numbers in.  Adding pauses in between uses up some of the character spaces too. So, I called for tech support and was told...&quot;The engineers are trying to decide if it&#039;s worth the cost of fixing it&quot;.  Wrong answer for me...]]></description>
