Expansy is touting the pre-release of a bluespoon headset for the T68. Does anyone know what this is and how it works; is is completely wireless?

Harleydog > I've been trying to figure that one out too,..hehe.
I dont really know.
Some other headsets that should come soon are : JABRA, Plantronics, GN NETCOM/Motorola.
I own the first Bluetooth,..the HBH 10, just had it upgraded with new software.
But I want a smaller one,..so I think I'm gonna go for the HBH-20.
It only features a short wire to the small bluetooth unit, not a wire to the phone itself.
Guess I can live with that part
I think the problem with the "all in one" bluetooth,..like HBH-10 and HBH-15, is the small button you have to push behind your ear,..its quite easy, to "hit it" the wrong way
The button itself works fine, but !

I also own the HB-10 and just found it to be cumbersome, did not really fit well over my ear and you are right, I continuously hit the small button on the back.
I also wanted to buy the HB-20, but saw the Expansy thing and wanted to see what that was like. From the description is sounds like, no wire and everything i contained in the earpiece
who knows?

Well, they do write, that its "all in one", both ear-piece and microphone.
But on the picture it looks like a wire,..or maybe there are two earpieces,..you know, like an ordinary (old-fashion) headset.
(maybe with the wire running around the back of your neck ???)
I'll try to dig into it, hehe.
maybe Bluespoon has a website or something ?

Harleydog : I did it, hehe
It says on technical info, that you can use an optional External high-end Telecom Microphone.
I checked the danish (technical info) part out,..and found a really good picture of the headset, with the x-tra mic on :

BTW : They write that it will fit "right" ear,..hmmm,...not my next headset then

Your welcome Harley
Yeahh, it looks nice and small.
Wonder if they are gonna make a "left" ear version as well.
I always use headsets on left-ear,..although I'm "right-handed".

Bought the HBH-20 from Expansys and took it back 2 days ago, decided to stick with my HBH-15.
If it had been like the wired handsfree kit with a button on the back of the mic then I would have kept it, but all 4 buttons are on the unit itself and they are very very small. Also the clip on the back of the unit for attaching to clothing etc isn't multi positional but fixed.
There is no external ringing from the unit to alert you to a call, only through the earpiece, and I managed a days standby with 3 or 4 short calls before having to recharge. Thought this may be due to first charge, but exactly the same 2nd day as well.
Finally, although very light, it feels well sort of cheap, and if you are wearing just a T shirt you have to wear the supplied neck cord, as the unit is top heavy and won't clip properly without folding over, and if you wear the cord you've got wires getting tangled again.
Much prefer the HBH-15, but this is just my opinion, that Nokia headset looks sexy though

Dave > how about the sound-quality of the HBH-20,..compared to the HBH-15 ?
Is the HBH-15 much better than HBH-10,..sound-quality, button-feel, does it fit better the earpiece itself ??
---------------------------
Thanks a lot for telling about the HBH-20, I'll consider switching to HBH-15, if its better than HBH-20, of course

How much is the HBH-20 as compared to the HBH-15?
I am currently using the HBH-15 when I drives and I am hoping to try the HBH-20 when it is available here.
