Looks a lot like my Motorola 820 headset I have now. It sells for about the same price at Radio Shack. I wonder if it'll have the same volume problems as my 820 does with my T650.

The T650 does not have the right amount of output volume to make BT headsets work well. There's a dumb trick where you toggle the mute button during a call and it boosts volume level, but if you touch any other buttons or the screen, it goes back down. Lame.

I'll let someone else beta test this device and see how it works. Lord knows that Palmone probably didn't do any testing before they sent it off to market!
