I received my new Nokia BH-800 headset last night and man is this thing small. In addition to the diminutive scale, the build quality is excellent and most importantly the sound quality is very strong. I have not been able to test outdoors (the usual killer for headsets) but thus far my calls have been very clear for both me and the other party.
As you can see in this lovely phonecam shot, it’s very small…
I’ve paired the headset with my N70 (N91 in for repair) and it works very well – reconnecting even if you walk from the room and return while it’s in your pocket. The device itself supports Bluetooth 2.0 which is more future-proofing at this point as I don’t think I have any other 2.0 devices that I am aware of… My MacBookPro seems to like it and I’ve made a call through Skype as a test.
In the box was a necklace that allows the headset to clip-in for easy carrying, but when I put it on I got the “What the hell” is that reaction from my wife, so Nokia fails the WAF (wife approval factor) test on their fashion accessories. There was also a suede pouch for said necklace and headset as well as a small travel charger which as you would hope also works for the phone.
I’m very pleased with this purchase as I continue down the road of my full Nokia conversion.
