I insist on a hookless design for my next headset, for comfort and volume. I had a Plantronics Discovery 610 which had the unfortunate flaw of picking up more of the background than my own voice. My Jabra JX-10 was awesome, except for when the battery died (would no longer hold a charge) one week after the warranty expired. I though about the Plantronics 665 but it apparently has sound quality and battery life issues.

What else is there? Or should I wait for the Jabra JX-20?

So it is a standard Bluetooth headset that you are after?

If by "standard" you mean a compact mono unit, then yes.

Did some research and found this new gem from Jabra, the BT8040, which I just purchased from NewEgg.com for ~ $60.

http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-US/products/Pages/JabraBT8040.aspx

I've had the best experiences with Jabra's Bluetooth products (far better than anyone else); I was quite impressed by the JX-10 (and also the SP-500 speakerphone). And it is purely an in-ear design - no mod'ing required.

How about the 'Nextlink Invisio G5'
In UK, it's priced at £40 (Carphonewarehouse). US prices should be similar.

I just bought Sony Ericsson's HBH-IV835:

Haven't tried it out yet as it needs a fresh battery charge first.

Most Samsung ones, such as the WEP 500, 510 and 300 that we have at O2 (well, the later two at least) are just earbud ones, no hook.

Also, our own O2 Blue (version 3) is an in ear one, and a good one at that as it's actually a Jabra headset this time. Theres the option of a hook in the box, but its just that, an option.

@ AbuBasim: Let me know about the fit and stability. Not to dissuade you, but a number of reviewers found that

unit's fit unstable.
