RE: [Treo] Caller ID on BT Headset? - Need?

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 12:39:04 -0700

I previously used the Motorola HS850 and was quite happy with it.  I like the flip mic A LOT, and it is by far the easiest headset to put on I've ever had; it was the tipping point for me to go to a wireless headset (I can put it on with one hand).  However, I lost the 850 and just replaced it with the new Motorola 700.  Moto claims the new 700 has noise cancellation, but I'm not seeing (um, hearing) it.  Aside from that, I like both headsets.  Sound quality is very good, though it does suffer if there's any wind.  Size & weight are excellent - the 700 is slightly lighter (.5 oz compared to .6 oz) but they're both very comfortable - I recently thought I'd *lost* the 700 because I didn't realize I had it on.  The controls are excellent; one button to connect, disconnect, etc., and 2 side mounted volume controls which 'up' and 'down' can be reversed.

I keep my headset in my shirt pocket usually, and my Treo is usually on
my belt.  In the car, the treo sits in its ProClip holder.

When I get a call, I might look at the Treo to see caller ID, or (if
that's not as convenient), I pull out the headset and check the caller
ID on that instead.

Although the call gets transferred to the headset, it doesn't actually
get answered until I press the button the headset to do so.  I can use a
long press on the headset to send the caller to voice mail.
