I really liked my Jabra BT800 headset and when it started to die more than be useful I was all set to get either a JX10 or a BT8040.

Instead I spend about 2/3 of the money and got a perfectly adequate Motorola H700 instead (in Fire Red if you must know).

Why?

It didn't fit any better. It didn't do anything that the other two products did (in fact it has less bells and whistles). It (like the others) has a really annoying blue flashing light to point out to strangers that I'm a wanna-be cyborg.

The winning factor... Mini USB charging connector.

Why you ask is that so important?

Simple convenience. I already carry a USB cable I can use to charge/sync my phone, my camera and my GPS unit. Why oh why do I want to carry another cable just for one device.

The headset is useless without the phone. Therefore making sure your device doesn't impose any new requirements on the phone user should be a fairly simple way to appeal to the road-warrior. I don't care what the plug looks like as long as I only have to carry one to charge and sync everything.

Of course one day ubiquitous SplashPower will ensure every device is constantly fed power and UWB will replace Bluetooth for local sync.
