I intend buying a headset and the HBH60 seems to have good reports, the Bluespoon seems the smallest and the Jabra is reported to be pretty comfortable.
How do I choose between them? Is it just look and feel or are these technical advantages with having the Ericsson HBH60 (or any other)? Do they all work the same with a P800?
Thanks
I got the Jabra BT 200 it is very nice, and I work at a mobile distributor, so i could try them all, and the Jabra won
I am using the bluespoon which is tiny...I find it excellent...
I�m using the jabra BT200, and I think it is an excellent headset.
Not only comfortable, also voice dialing and answering is very easy.
In Austria it is 60-140 � cheaper than the two one from SE (HBH 30 / 60).
I will never miss it.

I had a bad experience with the HBH30, and the sound quality is terrible 😞 If you do a search I posted my experience here. Ive read a lot of good things about Jabra's BT200. In fact im buying one soon from HK 😊
I'm looking for a Bluetooth headset myself.
I will probably buy the SE HBH60...
Go here for a Bluetooth headset comparison:
I got a motorola one and its excellent, small light and comfy!
Motorola are mainly using a rebranded Jabra BT headset..
Everybody interested shoul check out the revew mentioned above - it's quite good.

The review only shows BT100, have you seenthe BT200 of Jabra? www.jabra.com
Its realy great! Its thebest looking one for me, have yet to test the signal when it arrives.
The HBH30 doesnt dave good signal, from the review, it says it reduced the powere from being able to reach 10-meters to 5 only, go figure :-?
@Muzik- I think my BT-200 has arrived. I received a registry notice just this morning and i'm going over there in a while. Hope it's my Jabra headset. Will update you on the cool factors!
@fonzki- Cool! 😊 Do let me know how it turns out 😊 Mine will probably arrive next week
Yes folks, my Jabra Bt-200 has arrived. But the adapter is in 120Volts. And we are using 220 volts here. There's no transformer here at the office so i guess my review of the BT-200 will have to wait.
But the first thing i did was to wear the device, and it is sooo comfortable. Tried shaking my head a couple of times to see if it would fall off and i just strained my neck. 😮ops:
Keep you guys updated.
Okay, here's my initial test on the BT-200.
Comfortability- 4 stars. It is so comfortable, you won't feel it's on your ear after some time. Although you'd still know 'coz there's something blocking external sound to one of your ears. After a while though, the back of your ears start to perspire a bit coz of the headset leaning at the skin behind your ears.
Quality- 4 stars. Sound goes directly into your ear via the minigel. So even if you're in a noisy environment, you'll hear the other party clearly. The other party on the other hand, doesn't hear your voice as loud as it should.
Range- 3 stars. 5 meters is still good with line of sight. 6 meters you start to crack up. 7 to 10 meters increases the cracking of the voice of the other party. Haven't tried using the bluetooth with the phone stashed in a bag or something. Will experiment more.
This is according to my one day experience with my BT-200.
ls the BT200 the banana shaped one? just got hbh30 seems ok
Any updates fonzki? 😊
Yesterday, my BT-200 dropped from it's belt clip as i was on my way to the office. I couldn't find it and called up our house from work. Maid said they found it and i asked them to put it aside. Whew relief. I barely had it for 2 weeks?
It had some scratches on the side. Tested it and it still works fine.
The charger base can be connected with a provided belt clip. But i discourage anyone from using this procedure of clipping the headset to your belt. It has a big tendency to fall off. And you might not notice it falling off. Recommend leaving the base at home and just keep the headset in a pocket or your ear.
I'm not sure about the quality of your sound as heard on the other side of the line. Have to ask people how i sound. I know that it sounds well in normal room conditions. But not so good when you're in a noisy street.
But then i have no other headset to compare qualities with.
Wonder how the Nokia HDW-2 fares. Let's just wait for April 25 for it to be released.
I read in another thread that the BT-200 will not work for your ST@RR's 3650 Muzik. Something about Bluetooth headset and Bluetooth handsfree. But if it's just for your P800 then i guess it will be fine.
There's just one thing i noticed. The transfer of sound from P800 to BT-200 is not instantaneous. So when there's an incoming call, the VOICE TAG for the person who called you is already partially played before the sound is transferred from P800 to BT-200. The delay causes you not to hear the VOICE TAG, or barely a part of it's end. You'll have to look at the phone to see who's calling you - bummer.

It's been here for about 3 months...im thinking of buying it next week 8)
But still it feels strange to have a Nokia handsfree to a SonyEricsson phone :-?
I have the bluespoon, and it is most difficult to place on my ear, it requires two hands. So I bought the SE hbh-30 and it goes on very easily when I am driving.
The range on the bluespoon is terrible, and the SE is much more effective at the same distances from the phone.
