In true geek fashion, I have found the ultimate bluetooth headset. However, it’s not compatible with my phone so there’s no point in getting it until I find another phone that has bluetooth that I can use it with. Hopefully the A940 will be compatible when it comes out *crosses fingers*. It’s the Jabra BT800. It has a LCD display on the headset itself to show you who’s calling without you having to pick up the phone to look. Plus it vibrates and even has 5 different ringtones you can pick. Pretty impressive stuff for a headset. The headset I’m using now has one ringtone (a horrible one at that) and does not vibrate, nor does it give me any indication of who is calling without me looking at the phone or listening to the ringtone from the phone if I have a specific ringtone setup for a given caller. It was only $40, though so I’m not really complaining too much. Plus I get a solid 7-8 hrs of talktime out of it so I only have to charge it once every 2 days or so. I can also get a good 20-25 feet of range out of it when the battery is fully charged, which is really close to the advertised maximum of 30ft. All in all, it’s a decent headset but it’s not geek-friendly enough for me. It just does its job but doesn’t have any killer features (kinda like my phone, actually). Oh, well… I guess the badass headset will go perfectly with the kickass phone with the 2MP camera, flip/twist screen, speakerphone, bluetooth, microSD removeable memory, voice dial, speech-to-text engine (you can speak text messages), and tons of other cool features. Alas, buying the two together is most likely going to set me back $600, but I suppose that’s the price one pays for cool new high-tech gadgets, eh?
