I wondered if anyone had come across any better deals or has any advice on purchasing my first bluetooth headset.

Thanks

I only skimmed that thread, but I'd strongly recommend paying a bit more for a headset that's better manufactured - mainly for comfort. I've got the Jabra BT250 and it's _great_ - light, comfortable, great quality, and lasts for ages without a recharge if you're not using it.

I work as a mobile engineer, I and a number of my colleagues have purchased different BT headsets. The main problems we have encountered are short battery life, wires from unit to earpiece breaking or going intermittant and flex earclips (nokia) cracking.
I would also recommend the Jabra BT 250 its quite comfy has terrific battery life and no wires to break.
There was a deal for one on here once but probably out of date now.

Not much of an expert but my other half changes phones and bits regularly so I can definitely tell u that if yr phone is a SonyEricsson the best BT headset, in terms of compatability, is the SE one.

When I changed to a SE phone I chose it because of all the ones I've seen there's less to poke in yr ear!
