I've had Bluetooth for a while on my computer thanx 2 the D-link dongle. I just bought a t68i and have been looking at the SonyEricsson HBH-30 and the Jabra Freespeak, but alas I heven't the money. Methinks that I will wait until Apple supports the headset profile b4 I delve into that market. Anyone want to tell us when that might be?



Just out of curiosity, which of these do you like better in terms of style. At first I liked the Jabra, but teh HBH-30 has grown on me. I prefer the HBH-30's colour. I am not sure though... I also like the design of the Freespeak as it does not "stick out" as much.

The Sony model looks smaller, I prefer it. Here's a better link.

My friend has the bluespoon (with his P800) an dit is pretty sweet. However models that have a boom seem to produce better sound on the remote person's end of the call. One reason I am interested is to be able to use it with my mac for ViaVoice which of course requires the best sound possible.

These are all 2nd generation headsets. I think that I will wait until 3rd gen devices come on the market - or at least until Apple supports teh headset profile. untial that happens I can not justify buying a headset.

That is funny you say that. Most people cite the smaller size of the jabra as being the reason they bought it.

aside: I hardly think your picture is better. it is almost the same angle, but smaller and more blurry.

I added the link because yours didn't work for me, that's all. No offense intended.
