Default searching Bluetooth Headset (Display / Vibration)

Hi!

First of all, sorry for my english, I'm from germany.
I'm new here, waiting for my O2 Diamond to be released

Therefore I'm searching for a Bluetooth headset. I don't want to carry the Diamond everytime in my trouser pocket but (if I have it with me) in my bag. I hate ringin phones so I'm searching for a headset that could notify me with vibration on incomming calls. Best would be if the headset has a display that shows me who is calling. Can you suggest me some headsets?

It would be terrific if the headset could notify me on incomming SMS / mail. Is that possible?

Regards
Daniel

hi!
Thanks for your reply, I found the bt8010 myself. But I normaly need no stereo headset. I would prefer the bt800 (if I can get it anywhere).

Do you have the bt8010? Which OS is installed on you phone?
Any experiences about the caller id function? Is it possible that the Headset shows the same IDs as in your phonebook of your mobile?

And can someone give me a hint about the SMS / mail notification?

I believe the BT800 has been discontinued and replaced with the BT8010.
The phonebook/caller ID function is great, but the catch is you have to download the software separately, and manually input the entries into the headset itself, and it can only hold 30 entries.
Anything not in the headset's address book will just display as the number, not the name of the person calling.
You can get the software and such here:

The stereo speaker is detachable, so if you don't want stereo, just don't attach it.
I'm running Windows Mobile 6 on a Moto Q9c, and can't say enough good things about this headset. It has adequate sound quality and noise reduction mic; I've never had someone complain when talking on it.

As for email notification...I doubt it; the headset doesn't alert you when a new text message comes through (though the phone still reacts as normal).

Yes, I think so. But maybe I can get the BT800 somewhere (eBay or so). Probably that woul be cheaper.

Are you sure about that? Is it impossible that the display shows the caller ID that is in the mobiles phonebook? or would that maybe work with some phones?

I heard only good stuff about Jabra so I think it will be one of them.

hihi, me too. But it would really be ingenious if that would work. I plan to have the headset the only thing in my pocket, so I would need the vibration of the headset to notice new text messages. I hate ringing phones.

yeah I have the 800, but its uncomfortable to wear for long periods and the display is not that bright. The 8010 can be worn as a mono headset. The 80l0 was a good start but the 8010 is much better, also can connect to 2 phones, not at the same time.

Hi Harry,

as you have the BT800, can you tell me if it notifies you for incoming SMS/mail?
Whit what mobile-phone do you use the BT800?
