I like my Treo too :). I have the 600. And a Blackberry 7280.

I?ve had the 7100t for about a week and won?t give it up now (unless a different carrier provisions the same model). The only thing I don?t like about it thus far is that it?s T-Mobile and coverage in my area leaves much to be desired. I was skeptical of the 7100t?s keyboard input method compared to the 7280 but after a week of daily use it?s a non-issue, in fact I like it. They did an excellent job on the predictive dictionary and it can learn words that are unique to your correspondence. The speakerphone and mic reception is the best I've seen in a mobile device. Works great for hands free calls and teleconferencing w/out having to raise your voice or crowd around the phone to hear.

As far as the Motorola Bluetooth earpiece goes; the Jury?s still out. More online reviews rave it than slam it but the only think I can say right now is that it?s very comfortable. The poor sound quality I experienced this afternoon could be because of poor T-Mobile coverage in my immediate location. I?m comparing the sound quality too a Plantronics telephone RF wireless earpiece though; so that might not be fair.

Even if I did, I wouldn't adm it to it.
Why the hating on the 7100t?

Ouch! Even Viper is knockin? the 7100? That 7510 you have is nice. We considered radio models but decided we didn't really want to be [/i]that[/i] reach out and touchable just yet. We get any gadget our sale's force is contemplating so we've had the IPAQ's and PPC Phones. We have a BES running now and have done the 7280, the 7290 is on order, the 7100's are in now. Personally, I've always preferred a 'phone-centric' form factor. Once I got glued to the 7280 I gave up my form factor preference in light of better email capability. Now I get both with the 7100 and have a bluetooth earpiece so wires are gone. It's nice to see additional Blackberry enabled devices with Bluetooth (though it's a shame it's a crippled implementation thus far).

Blackberry is Blackberry. Those who use it love it. Those who don't use it... don't know.

There's two ways to take this!:D
Actually, being that it's a 'Treo', I'm thinkin' there are three ways... And eh, yup there it is. but two of them have nothing to do with telecommunication :eek:

Well, I just used the HS810 Bluetooth earpiece on a 45 minute drive home and I'm pleased to say that it performed great! It's really nice not having a wired earbud to deal with and the sound quality and mic pickup are excellent.

Not very good for stealth ops though... i noticed a blue glow coming from over my shoulder and looked in the mirror - this one slowly pulsates a bright blue neon glow when in use. Kind of neat.

It's safe to say I'll not be buying another data phone without Bluetooth capability.

I use the HS-820. Best BT headset out of all the ones available at Best Buy/Circuit City. I tried them all and they all had problems from sound issues to connection issues.

dabuddha, was the the HS810 one you were able to test? Just wondering how the 10 compares to the 20.
