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

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 -...
