Just got in the mail today. Fast delivery. This version will work with older bluetooth phones. I haven't tested the battery life or for any sync issues but I will update this post when I do.

Remember! (I learned this the hard way since it isn't clear on their site.) Please correct me if I'm wrong

The 'Nike+ HRM' is for certain Ipod Nano's with the Nike+ Running app

The 'H7 HRM' is for Iphones (The latest model I think)

The 'Bluetooth Smart HRM' is for Bluetooth 4.0 w Smart Tech phones

The 'Bluetooth HRM' is for the older phones with Bluetooth (2.1+) like my Evo 4G Shift with Android 2.3 (Using Runkeeper).

The 'Wearlink HRM' is for Polar equipment.

You will have to wait a couple of days to get a response back from Polar if you have a problem.

I hear The 'Bluetooth Smart HRM' battery lasts forever but the 'Bluetooth HRM' eats it up pretty bad, but is the most compatible.

Update: (8/27/2012)

Everything works and syncs up just fine. Make sure when you are syncing the monitor to your phone the strap is properly moistened. Please remember to disconnect the monitor completely from the chest strap when done or you will be buying another battery.

This actually works for the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and HTC Inspire, I had to took the test-error road. There were no enough reviews to be sure that it will be compatible with my cell phone, but I took a chance and it pairs great with both mentioned devices. Hope this review helps other be sure it will fit their devices. Regards.

I gave it 3 stars because I wanted you to actually look at my review plus polar didn't give me this exact information.

I bought this online and figured out every single problem that can come along with it. since I'm here just to share my experience this will be very quick as I dictate this through speech. :) you have 2 kinds of people people that exercise. the ones that sweat a lot an the ones that sweat very little.

1) first thing you do is put a little water on each of the 2 sensors that touch your skin. don't put any water around the microchip area. tighten up the strap and attach to your body make sure it's not loose at all. as tight as possible while not being uncomfortable.

2) my problem was that I sweat so much I created a bridge from the left sensor to the right sensor. what I did to resolve this was actually turn my heart rate monitor and put it on my back instead of on my chest. the indentation along my vertebrae created a gap between the sensors therefore no sweat bridge. before I would work out for 20 minutes and then my heart rate would jump to 200 beats per minute to 240. basically it's just doubling your heart rate and then it stops reading all together and have to reset it. putting the heart rate monitor on your back and instead of on your chest totally resolve this problem.

99 percent of your problem should be resolved by following the 2 steps above.

3) I also rinse off my heart monitor when I'm done to get the salt / sweat off of it. your monitor will become inaccurate if you don't clean it on a regular basis.

4) I unsnap half of the microchip every time I finish working out. this will preserve the battery for a lot longer period of

time.

I use a free cardio sport application on my android phone to use bluetooth. I like it more than the ones I paid for.

hope this helps a lot it took me some digging to figure it out.
