Not until they are finally not in back order. Oh... and this might be in the wrong forum.

I took a look at the Belkin mouse, and it's like a well-designed PC mouse. Nothing exciting there.
The Kensington Studio Mouse is excellent. I have the wired version and I am wishing I had gotten the wireless version. This is RF though, and not BT, so I presume it will still take up a USB port. But frankly I don't have a need for a wireless keyboard, so there is always room for a USB mouse on my keyboard.
The wireless model has gotten cheaper:
Studio Mouse on Amazon
The look is nice. The feel is nice. The scroll pad is slow, but it feels a lot nicer than a wheel imho.

Yes, but we want to use Belkin BT mouse because 1. It's BT. 2. It doesn't require that stupid base station for it as it is just a extra thing to carry around in my bag only because it's the only way to recharge during a trip. I rather have battery based mouse.

OK, I can dig it. 
I don't leave my house much, so my perspective on batteries vs. charger is a little different. If I were on the go, I would probably want a truly liberated device like that.

Yea, i am on the road and it is always better to have a wireless BT mouse that operates off batteries for three main reasons...
1) Can use a mouse without having a stupid adpater plugged into your computer (RF re/transciever)
2) The battery feature so you dont have to lug around the base charging station
and lastly, 3) ITS REALLY COOL!
