Getting Motorola V551. Which bluetooth headset to get?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

I use the Motorola HS820 and am very satisfies with it. Cingular sells it
for $79.99 before a $20.00 rebate. It advertises 6 hours talk time and uses
the same type charger that come with your V551. It not only comes with an
AC charger of it's own but also a splitter that lets you charge the phone
and headset from the same charger at the same time.

I can vouch for the battery - it seems to last forever. I use it every
day, and charge it about 2-3 ties a month.
The thing seems to work well too - my only complaint is that I wish
the mouthpiece was closer to my mouth. I don't come across as loud as
I'd like to. They all seem to be like that though.

I use an 820 too, but you need to try the for yourself
