Not true. I have ordered one to europe, paid it, recieved it within a week. Great headset. The quality is awesome, really like it! “you can grab one here but only if you’re based in the US and Canada.”

If set up well via the sound options, including *not* run from start-up, and configured to control the Supernode tendencies (this can strangle calls and use up bandwidth allowance), it is very capable of achieving it's potential, especially call conferencing to the maximum capacity, connecting with various networks and countries simultaneously (a facility I use often). In my experience headsets account for around half the call issues. Having used the Plantronics DSP 400 for about 3 years I cannot fault it, a product which I've recommended on to many users whom I speak with regularly. Being in the UK means I'll not be able to get my hands on a FREETALK Everyman headset, to run it through it's paces, though on the basis of the design it seems to possess the few minor improvements I'd like to enjoy; the folding arrangements are better than for the DSP 400 and the plugin facilities would be very useful.
