I had a torrid time trying many blutooth headsets. I tried the newer 645s plus the BlueSpoon AX2s (my favs but left me an ear ache) and now I have the Flamingo (awesome battery life, range and clarity and very easy on the ear)

The noise and static issues depend on the phone-headset combination and is very difficult to diagnose. I suggest you try a new headset. Plantronics are known not to work well with Treos and some versions of Razor.

I'm going to assume you mean "charging".

Yes, I have one and I have had intermittent charging problems. For one thing, the tube it charges in is very tempermental. If they headset is not in just right the tiny contacts lose contact and no charging happens. The battery life has had some good days and some really bad days. I've even used the AAA battery charger to extend some life out of the original charge and it didn't seem to work. I think it's the charging process that might be giving you problems. The contacts might not be just so to keep charging.

I haven't even used it lately. I've been carrying around a Razr and a Blackberry so I didn't want another gadget. I do love the sleek design and the fit is excellent, especially with the optional ear loop. The sound is also very good. You can hear even in the middle of a loud concert; unfortunately you can't be heard though.

I'll give it another go to see how my battery holds up.

Yes, I meant charging.
I'm also pairing it with a Razr and my wife says she hears static of some sort when I try to talk to her during my commute.
It seems like the main unit does fit properly in the charging sleeve like it was intended to thus causing the charging problem.

I really like the cleverness of the design and the functionality but the charging issue and sound on the other end has me thinking of exchanging it.
