It seems that if you read the number of posts on pairing issues and which headsets actually work with the PPC6601 you'll get the drift.

As far as receiving calls; at least once a week my phone doesn't ring and an hour later or so I'll get notice that I have missed a call or have a voice message. These occur without me leaving the location I'm in. There are no dead spots in any of these locations so it leads me to believe the issue is with the phone. If you do a search - you will find others experiencing the same issue.
Now I may have a dud phone - I'll be getting a replacement on Monday but since so many other people are having similar issues while some are not, I either have to think it was a either a batch of bad phones or an issue that can be resolved with a firmware update.

Same for me...
1. the phone routinely does not answer an incoming call
2. i sometimes cant dial out because it wont stop the internet connection (i think this is also why it misses incoming calls)
i have to turn on flight mode, then during the phone shut off it disconnects from the internet, then tries to dial the number it wouldnt dial and then after about 5 seconds (often after someone has answered) it goes into flight mode. i then have to turn flight mode off and i can dial out normally....
pretty neat for $400 pluss $100/month 
also, I havent installed any software -- its a clean setup and still connects to the internet at times, and im using EDVO.
