Does it have a charger, or do you have to put batteries in it? I am clueless. Thanks

It's sold out. By the time they get more, the rebates will be expired.

I've had good experiences with Bluetrek products. This one should be better than my headset also.

Samboy · 11-24-2004, 10:40 AM

Has anyone tried the Bluetrek G2 yet with the Treo 650? I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one today.

I can not find any Bluetooth headset for that price. Was $28.99 a real price or were you just playing with us.

Paradox · 12-13-2004, 08:18 PM

It was cheaper some days ago. Still cheap with the rebate but I got mine for about $32 after the handling charges were added on and subtracted the rebate. ---> http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/sho...4&page=1&pp=15

It's a good headset for the price IMO.

So how does that cheap Bluetooth headset sounds? I have a $100 headset and I trying to get my change.

I wish it would go a bit louder sometimes but for what I wanted it for, in the car or truck while driving during work, it is fine. The range is great, I can walk at least 20 feet away from the phone in my house (and that is thru a wall) and still it is good. At about 25 feet it starts to get kinda fuzzy. For the price it serves my purpose and serves it well.

I got one about two weeks ago and it sounds better than my bt-200. But read the forms on the ecost website, they're not in date on some things. Like when i got mine the rebate said 20 dollars which is really 2 ten dollar rebates and one was out of date.
