Sony Ericsson further strengthens its Bluetooth offering – unveils the HBH-60 Headset
September 24, 2002
Sony Ericsson today unveiled the Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-60. This small and light headset is comfortable to wear, easy to handle and can be used with all Bluetooth mobile phones. The HBH-60 will be on the market in Q4 2002.
Sony Ericsson has several Bluetooth hands-free solutions in its portfolio. The HBH-60 is for active mobile users who are often on the move. The HBH-60 looks fashionable with its clear lines, and sits comfortably on either ear. The microphone is located at the end of a short arm. When the phone rings, the headset is activated instantly and the call can be answered by using a voice command or pressing a single button. The headset can be used up to 10 meters from the phone it is connected to.
The advantages with a hands-free solution to a mobile phone are plenty and these kind of products were first on the market to utilize Bluetooth. The HBH-60 can be used with any brand of mobile phone that supports the Bluetooth Headset and/or hands-free profile. This is in line with Sony Ericsson’s ambition to have full Bluetooth compatibility and offer a wide range of attractive wireless solutions for the consumer.
The leading computer and mobile phone manufacturers, as well as makers of other devices such as printers, audio and camera equipment and more, have all adopted Bluetooth and many have already integrated it into their products. Sony Ericsson has demonstrated commercially available connectivity solutions through Bluetooth with Apple, TDK, Palm, Sony and many others.
The Sony Ericsson HBH-60 is small; its earpiece is a discreet 72 mm long and light; it weighs a comfortable 22 grams. It offers talk time up to 2.5 hours and standby time up to 70 hours.

Seems like  is now trying to lure more customers to them as they were no plans before today and all of a sudden they released new accessories and a T100 phone. |

the look is definitely better than HBH-30 as the mix of colour is better. HBH-30 have around 4 different colour on the product but this HBH-60 is small, neat and clean. The only thing I don't really like is the colour. Look very dull or boring. |

P800 = standard version and P802 = Chinese version
P800:
- EMEA, Americas, Latin Asia
- Latin characters (a, b, c…) on the flip
- Latin character handwriting recognition
- 12 Mbyte Memory + 16 Memory Stick
P802
- Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan
- Chinese Flip and input methods
- Chinese handwriting recognition
- Chinese dictionary
- Lunar calendar
- Chinese games
- 9 Mbyte + 16 Memory Stick
The data is taken from the old P800 whitepaper released in April. Data (internal memory) may have changed since then.
The P800 enables latin characters to be entered via the keys on the flip. The P802 supports Chinese character input using Stroke, Smart Pinyin and Smart Bopomofo. There are two P802 flip options, one with strokes and one with Bopomofo characters.

I think it looks like a cross between the HBH-10 and HBH-30... the battery is again located in the boom section, rather than the earpiece loop like with the HBH-30.
It looks a lot shorter than the HBH-30, but a lot fatter... I like the look of the HBH-30 better. If only they made the damn blinking light blue instead of green... it's not Greentooth ya know!  |

BTW, I own both the HBH-10 and HBH-30... no big improvement in either model... just looks. The HBH-10 has a longer range, the HBH-30 is lighter on the ear. The HBH-60 is just another option.
I like the fact that Ericsson/SE has 4 models to choose from... but the one you like since none of them are significantly better than the other. I love the look of the HBH-30. I'm sticking with that until they can cram the phone into the headset itself! HHAHAHA  |
