Sony Ericsson's HBH-200 Bluetooth headset


In an interesting solution to the problem of Bluetooth headsets not having screens (a problem we hadn't even realized they'd had), Sony Ericsson has come out with the HBH-200, which has a small LCD screen for caller ID. While we do lament the loss of call-screening ability as a result of headset use, we really don't see this catching on. Putting it in your pocket defeats the purpose of not having any wires and clipping it to your shirt means you have yet another remote-type thing hanging off your body. What we really want is the caller ID displayed on our watch screen, completely independent of a headset (which would also solve the problem of taking the phone out of our pocket/bag just to find out it's someone we didn't want to talk to anyway).
