Wireless headset for Cell phones

I have been trying to find a good deal on a good headset for my cell phone and came across this little item. The price on Fry's site is extremely low compared to Goldlantern's site and Staples, but I have found little to no other information on the internet about this product.

First, the link

$48 Goldlantern at Fry's Outpost


It seems to be the same as this one from Staples
Goldlantern Cleartalk at Staples

and here's the product page at Goldlantern
Cleartalk wireless headset

I could only find one review on the web, and it did not relate it to cell phone usage at all. The review did seem positive, though.

If anyone has information about this thing, please post it!
Thanks
 
I can't find a whole lot of information on this, even from what looks to be their website... I don't think this is bluetooth. Sounds like it uses a regular RF signal which equals craptacular static filled sound, usually. This also has a range of 15' (Probably a practical range of half that) while bluetooth goes much further from 30-50'. Still, for $48, it may not be a bad purchase.

as for compatibility look at the menu options here
I don't know what options Outpost is going to give for someone with a proprietary connection though like many Nokias. If they don't list an option at checkout then they may only be selling the universal one.

I'm definitely on the market for a wireless headset for my Treo PDA phone (currently using a high end, small wired earpiece [$90]). I've tried about 2 regular RF models and about 3 different ($150-$250) Bluetooth models. I haven't found any that I found satisfactory enough to pay for. The Jabra (freespeak?) was a close call but I'm waiting on 2nd and 3rd generation mature bluetooth products with better signal strength and clarity, more features, and less clunky ear pieces.
 
That is the exact same review I saw, Fritzo, I was hoping someone here may have experience with this headset. Anyone? Bueller...? Bueller? .....
