I'll definitely wait for reviews, however. I once purchased a Motorola headset for $25 thinking it was a steal, and it turns out that the volume was absolutely horrible. If this one turns out to be all it's cracked up to be, I might have to buy it for my next cellphone (read: reverse-accessorizing).]]>Oct 31st 2007 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/Oct 31st 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/Oct 31st 2007 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/Oct 31st 2007 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/Oct 31st 2007 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/Oct 31st 2007 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
But what really annoys me is the people who think that they're reducing the chance of brain tumours by using a bluetooth headset. IT'S GOT A RADIO IN IT.]]>Oct 31st 2007 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
So, I think it is perfectly save to say that using a Bluetooth headset lowers the (totally unproven, but that's beside the point) chance for a brain tumor by a HUGE factor compared to using the handset directly.

So, at least *try* to look up your facts before you go into red-alert mode...]]>Oct 31st 2007 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
Ok, fair point. Of course, it's all moot since it's non-ionizing radiation no matter whether it's the phone or the bluetooth module.]]>Oct 31st 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
A status knucklehead buys the BT earpiece with the brightest little blue LED, so people can see it from space. Gadget people overspend on the Jawbone, because it's the best.]]>Oct 31st 2007 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
Nobody wears a bluetooth headset as a status symbol.

They're freaking cheap.

This is like the idiots who claim people go to Starbucks so they can carry around the cup as a status symbol.

What fantasy world do you live in where a cup of coffee or a headset you could buy with money you lose in your couch cushions is a status symbol?

Why is it that every idiot who has an irrational hatred for some product has to call everyone who uses it shallow? Seems it's the other way 'round.

A Bentley is a status symbol. A big house is a status symbol. A Bluetooth headset is a communication device.]]>Oct 31st 2007 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
I've got a Moto HS850 (with the flip-out mic piece) but I only wear it when I'm using it, which isn't that often.

I do agree though that many people do wear then as status symbols.]]>Oct 31st 2007 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
"Look at me, I'm wealthy and important. I'm using a $40 headset on my phone that came free with my calling plan."

wow, big spender...]]>Oct 31st 2007 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
Mono headset wearers are posers.]]>Oct 31st 2007 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/
Personally I've gone through about 10 headsets & just don't use them (even Jawbone). Speakerphone while driving is good enough for me (though my K850 is much quieter than the N95).]]>Oct 31st 2007 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/Oct 31st 2007 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/nokia-intros-the-bh-101-bluetooth-earpiece/Nov 15th 2007 8:59AM
