Hi guys

Short Chunnel trip to France ... picked up Philips SHB7100 A2DP Stereo headset as an impulse buy.

The main driver for me was that it had to have a standard jack to take any headset (even though it comes with one itself).

I have to say ... paired with the TyTNII and the N958GB and the quality with the supplied phones is great. You get a neck strap that holds the little dongle that has a microphone on the top, the 3.5mm jack and a button cluster which controls all the different media s/w on both devices - volume up down and track back forward + play pause toggle and phone answer (one dpad with a centre button). The supplied phones actually work very well and are on a short lead that can be removed from the top of the neck strap - this means the wires are at ear height and very short - which is great.

Sound is great - good bass, mid range and treble - no resonance ... easily enough volume ... and because microphone is on the dongle ... you can use the phone with any headset ...

I paid £50 at 'duty free' ... big rip off because I've seen them since for £18 + del ... but happy anyway.

Bluetooth Stereo Headset (SHB7100/05) > Philips Consumer Products - Online Shop - the box picture shows the dongle itself - it is about 3cm high by 1.5cm wide and 1.2cm deep.

Good pictures here : Unboxing - Philips SHB7100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset Hong Kong Tech Phooey

Usual pricing nightmare - Philips have for 79.99, Dixons for 58.99, I paid 50 ... and online shops have for circa 30 inc delivery ...

Anyway ... I still think they are worth it .. great sound. Strangely you can even have them connected to two devices at once (although the first registers that it has disconnected) ... audio on the second connected is normal, and the first becomes about half volume ... Why would you want to ? Don't know ... but fun anyway.

Are you planning to get the new Sony or the TyTNIII .... or nothing ?

I like the look of the new TyTNIII, but I can't help but think the WVGA would be much better than VGA for docs etc ... it did look great on the Toshiba.

It looks quite good. I might see if I can pick one up for £30 notes on line.

I think the Diamond will be my next device. Definitely won't be getting a built in keyboard with my new device. Something small this time I think.
