BlackBerry HS-655 Bluetooth Headset
The November 2006 edition of the BlackBerry Connection newsletter featured the very sleek and ultra cool looking HS-655 Bluetooth Headset. It looks like a lipstick case my wife might carry in her purse (which automatically dings it 10 points in my book) but that's actually the case, not the headset (btw: how many bluetooth headsets have you seen that come with a carrying case, nice touch!). The pocket case apparently vibrates to let you know that you have a call (also a nice touch) and the Bluetooth connection back to your BlackBerry is encrypted using 128-bit encryption (which is especially interesting in light of the recent news that criminals can eavesdrop on your cell phone conversations by remotely installing software on your cell phone).
You can buy it now at ShopBlackBerry.com for $139.99, but it won't ship until December 15th so you may not get it in time for Christmas. Boo hoo.
