Before buying a bluetooth headset for my Pearl I researched all of BBF and the Net for the best one.

The model most praised was the Nokia BH-900.

I have been using mine for about three months now and I have to say it is the best.

-- It easily connects with the Pearl.

-- Range is excellent. I can use it about 30 feet or so with walls between the headset and the phone.

-- Battery life on the internal rechargeable battery is good.

-- People say that when I am talking through it my voice is clear.

-- The volume on the headset can be adjusted so it is very loud in noisy environments.

-- It is very light. I have left it hanging on my ear and forgot that I was wearing it, sometimes as long as five hours.

-- Best part, these retailed for $130. Now they can be bought on eBay for as low as $30, plus shipping.

After three month's testing, I 100% recommend this BlueTooth headset.

When I first started buying stuff from Hong Kong I thought shipping would take forever.

But over time I have seen the Hong Kong sellers ship pretty fast. As a group I have to say they are decent.

Usually their stuff takes about two weeks to arrive, sometimes less, but never more than that.

If you pay quickly [recall that there is a time difference] our night is their day, so they most of the time ship soon after you pay.

I note that his auction ends today, in a few hours. I suspect he will send out all the sales of that item at the same time, so get your payment in.

Thanks for the great info. I have been looking for a BT headset but didn't know which one to buy. Too many choices.

Just ordered this one. The price is right.

let us know how it works SF when u get it. i have the moto h700 and its junk. i have high hopes that you found one that works.

I have had a love/hate (but mostly hate) relationship with BT headsets and I have gone through 3. I finally got the Jawbone because of reviews and the video on their website. I must say it lives up to the hype. It's actually loud so I can hear and people can hear me - even with loud background noise.

Nice to see that maybe these things are finally coming of age. That's a great price in your post.

My son has had a similar relationship (I think he is working on his 4th or 5th headset) w/BT headsets. He just brought a Jawbone and absolutely LOVES it, which is a little disappointing to me because I usually get his old hand-me-downs and I was really looking forward to the Jawbone . Guess I'll just have to open up my wallet and buy my own.

Read my post, this one I have used for about three months. Works well.

If any of you have problems hooking it up, let me know and I will post a video tutorial on getting it to work on the Pearl.

It's not complicated, but you have to follow the steps.

I have the Samung WEP200 Bluetooth Headset, and its the best one i've had in like 3 bluetooth headsets i've had in the past. It doesnt have the hook around the ear, which i really like .

Just something else for you folks to check out...

Hi San Francisco

Have you tried activating the Pearl's voice dialing feature via the BH900?

Thanks

No, because I don't use voice dialing. Never have trained it, etc.

Man that's a bummer. I use voice dialing almost excusively. FWIW, you don't have to train the voice dialing system. Just activate the voice control(I do it via the left side convienience key) and say a name in your contact list. Or you can just say a phone number.

What I meant by "train" was the generic term for "setting up." Most of my contacts have three numbers for each. And some have their names with their e-mails as the only listing.

When using voice dial it would ask what I wanted to call: home, mobile, etc. So that was a hassle, especially when some names only had an e-mail and not phone numbers.

I just never took the time to get the whole thing organized and cleaned up.

But I did try a call with a person who had their name only, with a phone number to mobile and home. The Pearl w/ this headset worked perfect.

It first confirmed that the contact I wanted was the one she was naming.

When I said "Yes" she asked if I wanted to dial home or mobile.

I said "mobile" and it dialed the friend's cell.

That's the extent of my test.

Sidenote: I'm still not gonna clean up my contacts. That would be an 8 hour job.
