Exactly the problem.

I prefer something stylish, functional, but otherwise as unobtrusive as
possible. There is nothing unobtrusive about walking around with a blue
flash light shining from my head or a big piece of plastic sticking out
of the front of my ear.

My Jabra prerelease headset is great, it wraps around the back of my ear
instead of the front, and the light is much smaller -- Overall it looks
a bit more "clunky", but it's less obtrusive.

Unfortunately it's battery life is next to nothing now (Although it's at
least 3 years old, and was left unplugged over two years due to the fact
that I lost the charger and wasn't really using it anyway), so I ruined
the battery myself.

The HS850s are $199CDN+GST at Rogers dealers. Ouch! I paid full price,
but only because I was getting reimbursed because they promised a free
headset but didn't bother to deliver it as part of the contract signup

I saw it online much cheaper, but why shop around to save Rogers money?
If they wanted a better price, they should have shipped it in the first
place, or shipped it to me when I called to complain -- Since they said
the only option was to buy it from a dealer, I had them recommend a few
dealers and that's where I went

Rogers is only asking 119.99 for the HS850, when did they ding you 199.99
for it? At least you were re-imbursed!

I phoned a couple local dealers, that was what they quoted me. I
located the dealers by telling the Rogers customer service rep (who
happened to have the misfortune to answer my call about the headset
being promised, but not included) my postal code and he suggested places
to buy it.

I didn't much care if I pay $500 on Visa, as long as I get a bill
credit. One dealer offered to negotiate down to $169.99, but they were
further out of the way, and I really don't feel bad about making Rogers
pay their own dealers for their sales droid's lack of training.

Incidentally, the sales droids were still promising free bluetooth
headsets at that time, two weeks after my order was placed, even though
the free bluetooth headset deal has apparently been discontinued.
