MSRP of $150??!?! (on sale at $70) That's the same as a regular BT headset! And the adapter for the phone is huge!!! I'd rather get the Plantronics Bluetooth kit.

But this thing has potential for older celfones. And for non-tech people... but then again, why would non-tech people waste money on the headset? If I was not a tech person, I'd just stick with my regualr wired headset.

This thing costs too much (even at $70) ... for something that's not even a standard.

And it works on a 900mHz band... hmmm... I wonder if this will pose a problem for all 900mHz GSM countries... this thing was made in the USA which uses 1900mHz...so I doubt they encountered any problems... I wonder how this thing can cope with crowded 900mHz locations.
