I'm planning on buying a stereo BT headset.

Based on the use I'm planinng and my personal taste, etc. I'm down to these two:

- Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2960
- Nokia HS-12W
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2986

Now I can't decide myself. I can't test it cause they're not available locally yet. Price is similar.

I guess Nokia is more versatile, has radio, LCD that can be fully used in the future (new ROM's?)

But the concept of Bluetake is great also. Don't know if it's a bit bulky.

I'm more on the Nokia side right now.

Can you people with wizards (and cousins) give me some insight about those two options, maybe some detail makes me decide....

Txs!

Hi format,

I own the iPhono mini 450Rx and I tell you the sound quality is simply fantastic when combined with the right software player on my QTEK 9000. FI, I'm using the free GSPlayer which comes with effects like an equalizer, 3D, Surround, Bass Boost, preamp, Reverb and Echo etc etc. Conduits Pocket Player is another great software player with many effects too.

IMO, the most important thing in choosing a stereo bt headset is the sound quality. Features come second.

iPhono mini 450Rx comes with great sound quality although its other features may not be as good as its competitor like its shorter battery life compared to ANYCOM's stereo bt headset.

Have not tested the Nokia one so no comment.

Thanks FOSA,

I don't konw where to buy the bluetake so it could be a problem with warranty. I only see it selling on ebay (USA) not on europe nor any other ebay.

Also I whish I could see a bluetake, live. Nokia has a more regular headphone look except the case that has a good metal look (although it's another item to carry....)
