...lightest headset I used was Motorola's HS820, but now a number of even smaller and lighter headsets are hitting the market, from Motorola, Jabra and Plantronics. The Plantronics Discovery 640 is not just a tiny, easy to use headset-it comes with a Lego lover's delight of snap-on accessories...
...wouldn't be able to use the same plug in my car to charge both the phone and the headset (at different times, of course). Having to buy a separate Plantronics charger cable for my car might have spoiled the deal. Plantronics engineers anticipated this, and included adapters that snap on to the headset's charging cradle, and fit four of the biggest Bluetooth phone makers: Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Siemens...

Chancellor Gerhard Schröder will be pleased - he engineered the poll by deliberately losing a confidence vote in parliament on July 1 - but at least two parliamentary deputies plan to challenge Köhler's decision in the Constitutional Court. If the election does take place, conventional wisdom...
