It is excellent for use with my Blackberry Storm, good sound, great ease of use, always handshakes well with the Storm. There is an issue with the plastic ear holder (that wraps around your ear to hold the unit in place). It is removable so you can switch the unit from right ear to left ear. On mine, the ear holder became loose due to oils from the skin. I solved this problem by putting a dab of silicone on the bottom so the ear piece would not fall off. RIM should include a little rubber cap for the bottom of the wire ear holder to prevent it from falling off. I have had the HS 500 for four months now.

Sound quality is good, easy to stream MP3 music from my Blackberry Storm. There seems to be an issue with the quality of the on/off switch. I had to exchange mine for another one because it would not turn off and drained its' own battery as a result. I have read online that some others report this issue as well.

But, which specific 3rd-party GPS software does it work with? I can't find any statement at all on the BB site for this product...it's not in the manual that they had posted unless I just missed it. Could you elaborate? Thanks for the review. But, which specific 3rd-party GPS software does it work with?
