Whats better? MOTOROLA HS810 or the HS820 headset?
Anyone know why the HS810 costs more than the HS820 which has better battery life and 1.2 Bluetooth compatibility? Weird, no?

i think the 810 cost more bec its foldable and you get a neck strap and travel case

My guess is that it just costs more because it's older and cost motorola more to make/buy/license originally. Like all technology, bluetooth is coming down in price. On top of it, they are probably still selling a good amount of them so they are probably trying to make their money while they can. The 820 has no moving parts which should reduce costs too.

I can't comment on the price specifically, but having owned a first-gen and second-gen HS800 I can say one good and one bad thing about the flip. First, the bad. The flip on my first gen pretty much broke after a few months of use. It didn't just "break" - the entire blue plastic casing cracked. This hasn't happened with my second-gen headset, which is a good sign for the HS810 (I assume). I don't use my phone all that much for voice, though when I do I use the headset about 95% of the time.
The good is that having used a Jabra 200 and the HS800, I really prefer the flip and compact size of the HS800 over having to hold a button for 3 seconds to turn the headset on and off. I gather a similar mechanism is used to turn the 820 on and off -...
