Bluetooth Headsets

[jofish22]

Anyone got one? Anyone like one? I've found it surprisingly hard to find anything useful on the internet that's up to date.

I'd like something that's got a reasonably long talk time, doesn't make you look like a dork (too much), doesn't cost way too much, and ideally can be charged from my existing Nokia charger or USB port. I'm not fond of toting around more chargers and such crap than I really really need.

In particular, I'm interested in opinions of the

-- Scala 500
-- Plantronics 510
-- Plantronics 640 (this may be the best so far)
-- Jabra BT 500 / 250 (I've got a BT200 that on the website it claims works with my phone, but doesn't, and tech support is useless: they say "Yes, you're right, the website lies. No, we won't do anything about it. Yes, the supervisior will call you back." (And No, the supervisor doesn't.) So Jabra are on my shit list.)

I'm planning on using this to communicate with my Nokia 6600 and also with my laptop for use with Skype, if it makes any difference.

i have a logitech HS02-V0 Mobile Freedom headset. Wind-cancelling even. And i like it. It syncs pretty effortlessly with both my phone and my computer, and it's not dorky and even comfy to wear. Check it out at http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2193,CONTENTID=9502 or just ask me to borrow it a minute and see what you think.

Sounds good to me. I went and picked one up -- $25 at buy.com after rebate, tempted tho I was by the $84 plantronics 640. Ah well. Grad student life.
