General Comments
I've owned a Nokia 8910 for a short while and thought I would try out the new craze - a wire free headset. As my phone includes Bluetooth I chose a Plantronics M1000 unit (UK £100). It's quite small and light but the ear clip just does not do it for me, it just would not hold firm on either ear.



The stated range of 10m was far short of my experience, as the most i managed was around 2m!! Sound quality is poor with a weak tinny sound (may have been the poor fit on my ears)



Also it does not support Nokia voice dialling - so access to the phone itself is a must, if you want to make a call.



If you must have a wire free headset try it at your own risk otherwise stick with a cheap & cheerful wired type (UK £10).
