Conclusion

I have come to enjoy this headset given that I take all of the Bluetooth precautions keeping the headset as near as possible to the Treo and trying not to use the headset under difficult conditions. As soon as you start to move away from the phone, the signal begins to break down and crackle. The headset is lightweight (though not a featherweight) and comfortable to wear for stretches at a time. I have come to appreciate the fact that the earpiece speaker rests against the ear, but not in it. The multifunction wheel could be better designed though the main control button is easy to use.
