Subject: RE: [Treo] Caller ID on BT Headset? - Need?
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 use a Sony Ericsson HBH-662, and I like it a lot. Unlike some of the other
headsets, this one actually has caller ID on the headset itself, so I can
see who's calling without having to pull out my Treo.
It also has really good interaction with the Treo in terms of how and
when it picks up the call. When my Treo rings or dials, the calls are
automatically transferred to the headset without requiring me to press a
button or anything. I like it that way (although others might prefer it
the other...).
Do you keep your headset off all the time? This kind of defeats the purpose
of it. Unless you keep your headset off all the time, I see little usage of
the caller ID on the head set. How far do you keep you Treo away from you? I
always have it on the desk, in the charging/sync cradle attached to my PC or
my pocket. I'd question the need for an extensive set like this unless you
also can send the call to the voicemail from it - can you?
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.

What happens when someone calls, and you cannot answer the call, does the
caller get connected to BT and hears nothing? Does this set allow
manual/push button transfer of the call to the BT set?
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.
