HBH 20, it's a must if you own a t68.
Got one myself, use it mostly at work while my phone is being charged....
Get it, get it get it... |

Do people prefer this one over the HBH-15? The HBH-20 just seems to be like the old traditional hansdfree kits except wireless. You've still got the cable dangling down your neck and an ear bud headphone which keeps falling out. The HBH-15 on the other hand hooks right onto your ear and the microphone sticks out right next to your mouth.
Just my views, I don't own the HBH-20 so I could be underestimating it. |

I have for about a year the bluetooth headset (HBH-15) which was the first model that Ericsson brought to the market. Though I originally bought it with my T39 it works perfectly well with my T68. The new model that you guys are claiming has much better battery efficiency and bluetooth compatibility. (Think it looks better with the new colors that Ericsson adapted for it).
Though I must admit that the new headset that Nokia is producing now seems more ergonomical. |

maxxn, I think you're talking about the HBH-10. The HBH-15 hasn't been out for a year yet. The HBH-20 (the topic of this thread) is a completely different design of ericsson bluetooth headset, it's like the really old ear bud headsets. |

Yes,..he's referring to the HBH-10,..which I actually got.
Quite good now,..I had the software upgraded.
The Nokia headset is quite big. A friend of mine were in Barcelona for the release of the new nokias,..and the Nokia-people were wearing their new bluetooth.
I wear glasses sometimes (when not using my contact-lenses),..the HBH-10 sits ok, even with glasses on 
Of course I consider this, when buying headsets.
Gotta admit that I like the HBH-10 and 15 more than the HBH-20. I think, the concept/idea of being wireless is lost in the 20-model.

HBH-20 is cool but has one major fault. It cannot auto answer a call. To take an incoming call on it you have to push the button on the headset unit. Very annoying. Also the T68 cannot seem to talk to the headset and another Bluetooth device at the same time which is a drag. Still like the headset but for the money the lack of auto answer is a real nuiscance |

What I did it to set auto-answer in the Port f-free profile to compensate for the problem. Works with HBH-15. |

The headsets with the current bluetooth-profile/versions, can only be used between two devices for now.
It could/should be possible in future versions.
There's a technical explanation for this of course...but I dont really wanna get into that, hehe.
Someone did explain it to me once,..but I just cant remember all of it, and I dont wanna give wrong info
