I just want a Cheap-ish bluetooth headset that goes on my left ear.
I want it to have decent battery life, good to pick up my voice but not too much background noise (so when i'm walking around work at a retail store.)
Also a big part, I want it to stream music from my phone.
The cheaper the better, but of course I want good quality. If anyone can point me in the right direction, thanks
Bump, anyone know?

Was with you until you said "Stream Music". Why would you want to stream music into only one ear?
This is what I used for awhile and still use from time to time. Very cheap, pairs with every rom I've thrown at it (probably because it's made by Samsung):

No idea if it will stream music. I use mine for hands free calling and that's about it--I have a Bluetooth stereo in my car for streaming music.

Work has horrible music..
But anyways, I guess better call quality and comfort is more important. I read reviews, people said there's a constant LED?

If you leave it on, yes. When it's in "Standby" mode it will emit a blue led every once in awhile. Even though the instructions say a charge should last "a week" of standby time, to be honest I turn the thing off when I'm not using it, unless I have a three-hour car drive ahead of me.
Yeah I would too. I just don't want my boss to see a blue LED from my ear when I'm talking

I have been a Jawbone fan since the first one came out. But the last few models just stopped fitting my ears. I have strange ears I guess. I tried every possible adapter and just couldn't get them to fit right. So a couple of weeks ago I decided to step away from them and find something else. Also I use two phones (home and work) and the jawbone never worked well in that situation. I could receive a call on either phone but couldn't make a call. I had the Era with the latest software and android software installed in case anyone wants to know.
First I tried Blueant Q2. it is a great product. Fit pretty good and has good features but did not work well with both phones.
Next I tried Plantronics Marque M155 - Fit was Ok. Features were ok but again didn't work well on both phones.
Then I tried the Motorola Elite Silver - I was really blown away by this one. Nothing fits better on the ear for me. It comes with a nice hard shell case which also acts as a battery boost and charger. It worked perfectly on both phones. I hit the button and it asks me which phone I want to use and works perfectly. Battery life is better than the others I tried. The HD audio streaming works very well for a Bluetooth headset. Sounds better than my Jawbone did. Although I rarely use this feature it is nice to see that it works well when I need it. Call quality is great on my end and nobody has complained or asked if I was on speakerphone or bluetooth while talking to them. And lastly the features with the free app are excellent. I can send a text message from either phone without ever touching the phone. I can receive text messages and reply in the same way. There has been only one drawback. The current software version does not support caller id by name on anything greater than GB. Not a deal breaker for me and the other benefits far outweigh that little annoyance. Plus I am sure (hoping ) that it gets fixed in a software update.
So my vote hands down is http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/Motorola-Elite-Sliver-Bluetooth®-Headset/75589,en_US,pd.html. I picked mine up at ATT for around $70 a few weeks ago.
I can't say this is the best headset there is because I have not tried them all. I can only say that it is the best I have ever used and am completely happy with it.
What was the battery like for you on that?

I have had it about three weeks and have charged it once. And that also means I haven't even broken the battery in yet. I have it turned on about 9 hours a day. I keep it off the rest of the time. I talk and text on it daily but not what I would consider heavily. The case/charger has a built in battery booster so it gets great life. Best I have ever owned so far. Once the battery breaks in I expect to get three weeks between charges maybe more.

Man you make me really want to get it. I wasn't really looking to spend $70 because I go to the air force in 4 months. I wanted a decent low cost one with good call quality

Unfortunately I have no experience with the Samsung headsets. I would say to make sure you get it from someplace that has a good return policy and just try it out. If it doesn't work out you can return it. That is what I did when I was looking for mine. I returned three headsets before I found the one I wanted.

Okay so don't nobody want to talk about what they don't like... Well here's mines comparing it to the epic 4g
The phone (4G touch) is the coldest out, just want to put that out there.
The graphics or camera don't meet the expectations as a part2 of this phone.
that's the only thing I can say thats wrong with this phone...
I'm not trolling, just giving my opinion.
Just got the phone today so don't cuss me out because I said this.

Graphics or camera?!?
I think you nedx to play nova 2 hd and take a few 1080p videos and then check back in....
The camera is the best I seen on a phone (in person)
And graphics are amazing... Better than any dual core phone imo

Aside from the fact that when I read OP I was all like "what is this I don't even", if we are to assume that he intends to take exception with the "graphics or camera" I must profess, with as stiff an upper lip as I can muster, that I would prefer he were to GTFO with his trolling.
If by some peculiar stretch of the internet's good will OP has truly spoken with veracity of his mind and thoughts, well, I think it goes without saying that the sooner his opinion be disregarded the better.
I've never seen a better cellphone camera, hands down, ever. I'm pretty blown away. So far as "graphics" are concerned--as vacuous as such a statement is--we'll assume he means anything to do with 3D graphic rendering and/or reproduction. Also the finest performance I've ever seen on a cell phone. Sure, it isn't qHD, but if that is a surprise to you it would suit you well to stop purchasing bleeding edge smartphones without knowing what the hell you are talking about.
The bad:
Supplies charging cable too short.
I guess no phone can be perfect
My dislike is the screen wake lagg, and which will just doubtedly be fixed in a rom or kernel and it won't make me any food??? I'm waiting though..

I just wish this phone was able to make me a sammich and get me a beer.
The camera is pretty sweet, though the Epic was good too. (My N8 smashes it, but then again that's that phone's main selling point.)
I haven't used it long enough to check out the radios, but it seems like Samsung pulled it together.

I agree - the bad being the shortest charging cable I've ever seen! Barely reaches the top of the nightstand...
Fortunately easily solved on Amazon - actual Samsung branded car charger cord for $4, home charger with longer cord for $6, $1.50 for a longer Samsung USB cable...
I was also disappointed that it didn't come with a micro SD card. My buddy's DroidX I think has 16gb onboard, and came with a 16gb card too. To me, 16gb onboard is more than I need, but for a "superphone" dolled up with all these extras and details, figured they wouldn't go cheap on the power cord and no SD card.
I'm only partly disappointed that the screen resolution isn't 960x540 like the Bionic and a few others. It's not really any disadvantage, and I'd easily pick the rich colors and ridiculously black blacks over a higher res anyday - so much easier on the eyes. But mostly on principal - I'm still shaking my head that the iPhone 4 has been out so long, and it should have been 3 weeks (I'm exaggerating) before other phones came out with screens of either similar pixel density or resolution. It's not rocket science, and Apple does all their manufacturing through contract manufacturers for this stuff... a true OEM like Samsung should be able to nail that one pretty easily, right?
Also saw some GPS numbers on another thread that showed only ho-hum GPS reception... the comparison phone walked all over it. But (to stay positive), if there was a radio/antenna to skimp out on, I'm glad it was this one.

The EVO 3D got better data speeds for me - that is based on regular test in the same location.
I prefer sense but that is a matter of opinion.
This thing seems to take longer to charge than any phone I've had using the AD charger.

Agreed!
My only other complaint is the phone doesn't store my screen timeout settings through reboot nor my contact shortcuts using buddy now. After every boot I have to change this again. It is a bit frustrating. Anyone else having that issue? Other than these mentioned things the phone is amazing and I will have a hard time getting anything else for quite some time I think.

I agree I love this phone but the data speeds are a little low. I got with full bars of 4g on my evo 3d 2200 kbs and on my epic touch I am lucky to get 1100 kbs that is the main thing I see wrong or that I dont like about this phone. But that can be easily fixed with a radio update like they did on the 3d.

Well damn.
This would make using the Tab 7.7 as a phone actually feasible.
I so want numerous devices in a personal network. If text messages could be 'pushed' to a different device over bluetooth, I would use the 7.7 as my primary 'hub' with all these devices connected to one another. The smaller device would be pocketable and only be to reply to messages when pulling out the tablet wouldn't prove to me useful. I've already got an MBW-150 for caller ID, media controls and notifications.
Dear god the possibilities.

You, must tell me how everything goes and if you feel it worth it.
When I first read that the 7.7 would be able to be used as a phone, I would have bought it right then and there. But of course, it wasn't available.
Have you used it as a phone for calling/texting yet?
And don't forget that g note have s pen....
And as man-bags become more socially acceptable, it makes more sense to have the big quad core device in your bag and your designer bluetooth handset in your hand. In fact if you could get a bluetooth handset with a small screen to show sms etc it would be really interesting. ....
Or Galaxy note wifi/bluetooth in your bag controlling your 10 inch tab in your bag...

I've had the 7.7 now for about 5 days, and ever since day 1, I have been totally blown away by how amazing this device is!
It has been my complete replacement for both phone and tablet. The Note was cool and all (I'm selling mine), but honestly, the s-pen was kinda wasted on me (not really the doodling type you see).
Also, as amazing as the Note's screen is for a really big phone, it's just not as functional as I would have hoped in order for it to be a capable substitute for a true tablet, in spite of its resolution. If you're on the go a lot, the ~7 - 8" screen size is about the perfect sweet spot for a truly light-weight heavy hitter in the tablet market IMO.
Now don't get me wrong! I love the Note too! The Note is a fantastic piece of hardware, and once it gets ICS, I bet it is going to be an absolute BEAST of a device. I'm sure that for a lot of people, the Note is/will be the absolute perfect fit for them, and a really good phone/tablet compromise.
For me, the 7.7 with a Bluetooth hands-free and my old SGS2 as a backup for when I'm occasionally "going light", is a better fit overall. For other's that might not be their ideal match. It just depends on the individual.
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------
Now, here's an idea for next version of the Note:
So, the current generation is the N7000 yeah? So let's call the next iteration the "Note 8," yeah? See what I did there? Clever eh?
So imagine the device being pretty much identical to the GTab 7.7, but rather than include the s-pen in its current form, instead modify the HM-5000 to make it a little sleeker, have the s-pen on one end of it for writing, a 3.5mm headphone jack on the other end of it for earphones, add playback controls for music and media, and a small monochrome OLED display on the front of it for info like caller ID, date/time, and current playing track etc.
Holy crap that would be amazing!!
I can see the desire of wanting to carry around a 7.7 but I need to put my device in my pocket. My Note fits just perfectly in my front pocket. Been carrying it around like that since I got it. I know I could not do that with a 7.7. That's just me though. The Note is the perfect cross sized device for me. Will I still own a tablet. Most likely but I've found when my Note and my Ipad2 are sitting right next to each other I'll go for the Note even when I going to web surf. I just like the size.
Also having the earpiece is critical for me. I'll lose anything bluetooth I carry around. And I don't want to have to worry about where I'm placing two devices I can barely keep track of one.

For those of you who often wonder about the implications of using the Verizon PRL and struggle with poor Sprint service, here is a little story.
I finally got my warning letter after using 0001 for about 4 or 5 months. What surprised me is that I also got a courteous call in which a Sprint rep reminded me of Sprint's roaming policies.
I kindly pointed out that I barely have any data or voice service at my home, which is essentially true. The rep verified my claim, and actually offered me a contract termination without fees as an OPTION. I took the offer, and I am now an ATT SGSII owner. I have full service at my home, and often see dl speeds of 4-8 mbps in my general area on their HSPA+ network.
And so in the end, if you are a Sprint customer struggling with poor service...I really have to recommend using 0001.

I have full service at my home, and often see dl speeds of 4-8 mbps in my general area on their HSPA+ network.
And so in the end, if you are a Sprint customer struggling with poor service...I really have to recommend using 0001.

I get about 20-25 Mbps up and down with my wifi. And the ping is something like 30ms.
Can your ATT beat that?
I use 1115 so I'll roam when I need it. I don't think I'd last long on a tiered plan without getting dinged with $500 bill sometime. Especially since ATT likes to encourage you to consume data more than usual. Its not like im downloading ROMs or watching movies when I'm out and about.
They could have sent you a airave, problem solved.

this is a stupid response because 1) he obviously doesn't care about how fast his data speed is INSIDE his house where he is most likely using his computer connected to broadband internet anyways; 2) any idiot could've assumed he cares more about data speeds when he's out and about with friends; 3) even if he didn't have broadband internet at home and was tethering his phone data, then all the MORE reason to use ATT instead of Sprint.

How do you like the AT&T SGS2 compared to the E4GT? I switched to AT&T because of their data speeds and am trying out the iPhone 4S right now, still have 2 weeks to decide which phone I want to go with. I might just keep this thing and buy a used SGS2 off craigslist and switch between the two depending on mood.

Its fine, a lateral move really. I miss the notification light though. The slightly smaller screen is a toss up. Word has it that ICS will be hitting the ATT SGSII Q1 2012. How do you like the Iphone right now? I almost thought of getting it, but the SGSII is such an awesome device.
Aside from a couple minor (and one MAJOR) complaints, I like it quite a bit. I really thought I was going to hate it, my original intention was to only keep it for a couple weeks and then swap it out for an SGS2 but it has really grown on me. My only real complaint is about Siri. It sucks. I used to use voice commands all the time on android and I feel like that ability is all but lost. Aside from that, I really like the simplicity of iOS, games on it are bad ass (save for the small screen), and the phone itself is beautifully designed and built.

For some things. While the games on iOS are FAR superior to those on Android, playing them on such a tiny screen sucks, to be frank. I'll play MC3 on this thing and then play it on my E4GT and it does make me question what the hell I'm doing by switching phones. Internet browsing too just isn't the same. That said, it is nice to not have to do any type of finger acrobatics to reach every corner of the screen. And everything else is great. I thought texting was going to be a problem too but it isn't, the iOS keyboard I'm sorry to say is FAR better than any keyboard I've tried on Android. It's fast and accurate and the autocorrect isn't nearly as bad (or as funny) as all the screencaps floating around would lead us to believe.

I currently own a T-Mobile G2x and plan on picking this baby up in a few days from the playstore.
A friend of mine showed me his and I completely fell in love with the screen. I'm also hopeful about the updates being pushed by Google for another year or so.
With that said, is this phone still worth getting with other devices already out like the ONE series and Samsung's S3?
I was intially going to purchase a HTC One S, but can't bring myself to do such a big gamble because of all the hardware and software issues I've read about.
for all that is holy and right, god yes.
i could ramble on what rocks about this phone, but ill keep it small.
its a nexus, so direct updates from google. Large dev community. freaking beautiful screen and physical phone dimensions. oh did i mention kick ass software and dev community
i came from the sprint epic 4g and they were doin some crazy stuff with that phone. with the nexus, i hope to see some awesome stuff.
again so much to put into words. the nexus is worth every cent
I got mine yesterday. Short and sweet, yes!!

Its two issues that keep this or any nexus phone on top

2- a huge development base (other phones may have big dev bases, but they cant even compare)

Of course it's still worth buying. This is still the best Android phone out there. Galaxy S3 and One X may both be faster, but if you're a casual developer or tech guy, then Galaxy Nexus is the best you can get in terms of software.
Quad-core is overrated on phones and I don't like Galaxy S3's hardware decisions (the hardware keys). Galaxy Nexus has on-screen keys, which are just amazing, I could not go back to a phone without them. I don't like the bells and whistles of Galaxy S3 and One X either (which won't be a problem if you root of course). Their usability features are an overkill and don't work at all times.
Since Galaxy Nexus does come with the best version of Android - native, non-bloated one - and has very good hardware to run anything you throw at it today, then yes, it's the phone to get and the one I've suggested to fellow developers. One of the young developers I know bought it just last week and is loving it.
As everyone else had already mentioned, yes, do it - you won't regret it. I've had mine only a month now and it's freaking amazing. Fast and unbloated, beautiful screen, effortless to root, great battery life.
Best of all we will be first to get jellybean, my friend with the sgs 3 will be on ics until sometime next year. Hehe.

Due to battery and reception/4G issues
I would say no, if i were to start over this minute... I would get a Razor Maxx over this.
I think a new phone of this caliber and price range should ROCK right out the gate and that the modding community should only (need to) make it even better... in this case it takes the modding to make it close to right with still spotty reception and CRAPPY battery life.
Is the screen beautiful... is the phone fast and with rooting and a lot of extra software does it get the job done? Yes.
But so does the RMaxx without the radio issues and it has boat loads of battery.
I would much rather have a few less bells and whistles of a newer OS and have battery life & radio reliability. I feel the bells and whistles are a lot easier to add on later than the other way around.
I like the phone... don't flame me please... but it has shortcomings
I get excellent battery life... i have never had any issues with the radio either.

Ahh you have the LTE version huh? Quite a few people seem not so happy with that one. However the GSM doesn't have as many issues as the LTE seems to..
I would say do it as well man. It's a much much better device than the G2x and you'll really enjoy it.

Personally, I wouldn't get the Motorola. I'm a developer, and it's giving us a ridiculous amount of trouble when compared to the GS2 or the Nexus.
The nexus is a great terminal, and since they lowered the prices it's hard to beat in the quality/cost ratio.

As you'll see, a vast majority of the people saying "don't get it" are those with the Verizon LTE version.
To be blunt, the CDMA version of any nexus is going to be an afterthought.
Moreover, LTE is a battery-drain in comparison to UMTS/HSPA+.
If you get the Galaxy Nexus, get the HSPA+ one from the Google Play Store.
I currently have the LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus. Does my battery tend to get drained fast? Yea, although most of the time it's not an issue, I work in an office where I get to keep it plugged in most of the time. If I am planning on being out all day I always keep an extra battery, it's really not that difficult to carry one.
Does my signal tend to suck? Yea, sort of. I hardly ever make calls so I can't really notice there, although I do tend to get a lot of dropped calls but i never know which side they are coming from. My data is amazingly fast when it works right but too many times it says 4G but nothing is going on, so I have to turn the data off and back on to get it working again.
With all that said, I've had this phone since December and I still absolutely LOVE this phone! I still look at the screen and think "wow that's cool". I still show it off to people, I still love using it to pay with Google Wallet.
However, I have recently decided to get rid of it. I will be giving it to my friend, because I just ordered the GSM one from the Google Play store! I'm so sick and tired of Verizon so I want to try the whole prepaid services thing till I find something that works best for me with a service that doesn't treat me like I'm trying to steal from them because I have the unlimited data package THEY gladly offered me years ago. What ever happened to treating older customers better??
There are a few of us that jumped ship from the G2x here now, I don't think we made the wrong choice.
Plus we'll be getting Jelly Bean soon!
Just like you, I think the screen got me. That and stable ICS. I loved my G2x but after hanging around my friends with 4.3 or 4.5inch screens... I felt... inadequate...
Haha, just kidding, but I did want a bigger screen. I'm really happy with this phone now and I think I will be for a while.

Software keys to me are a waste of screen real estate. There is no advantage to having them. I remove them and use LMT because I want the extra screen space. Using LMT is not as quick as having the buttons there but worth the sacrifice.
The GNEX has the space at the bottom of the device to fit keys there and I wish they would have or added them as well and given the choice to use on which one we want to use.
It's true. After two months, I sold my Samsung Galaxy S III, AT&T branded, blue, shiny, and beautiful. Why did I do it?
This excellent Chicago Sun-Times article may offer an explanation: Android vs iOS Sun-Times article.
It's a good article by Andy Ihnatko. Just as Andy, I too cheated on my iPhone with the Samsung Galaxy S III. And it was not a one-time transgression, it was a full-blown two-month affair.
In the end, I went back to my iPhone. All other reasons aside, I had one -- the iPhone is just more reliable. Yep, I said it. In the age of innovation, I choose that. But for me, someone who uses the device very heavily for talk, text, email, calendar, news, boarding passes, and everything around it, the consistency and reliability matter a great deal.
I agree with Andy on most points, with a few exceptions. The screen is the first. Yes, the SIII screen is large and beautiful, as are many of the SIII Android brethren. However, I found that the SIII screen was just not as bright, not as easy to see outside, and the auto-brightness was just not as seamless. Not only that, the SIII (and this is a Samsung thing), display seems a bit pixelated despite the high resolution. It's the "pentile matrix" thing. Whatever it is, it bothered me.
The form factor is the second issue -- and is related to the screen. I don't have large hands, so if Andy had to two-hand the SIII, I certainly did too. And while I appreciated the extra real estate, it was infuriating not being able to reach the top left with my thumb. I frequently found myself holding the phone in awkward ways, wishing I had a freakishly long thumb. I felt that something between the iPhone's 3.5 and SIII's 4.8 would be a perfect compromise. But the SIII was just a tad too big.
The replaceable battery... I like that too. You know what I like even better? Not needing to replace it. The SIII just didn't last as long as the iPhone on a single charge. Not even close. I can squeeze a solid 12 hours out of the iPhone with my heavy use. The SIII died in 8. And so I bought an extra battery, and a desktop charger, and was quite proud of myself. But I wish I didn't have too.
Ergonomics. Yes, I love the back button. And the menu button. But try to hold the phone sideways to watch a movie and see if you hit one of those by accident. Again. And again. Or put the phone on the side in a car to use as a (stellar) navigation unit, and accidentally hit the power button. Or the sensitive volume rocker. Oh, and let's adjust the volume. Wait, which of the 3 volume sliders should I be adjusting? I forget.
I do miss the S III. There are times I wish I still had it. It was a passionate affair, and it was fun. But the S III mistress proved too high maintenance in the end, a bit unrefined at the cocktail parties, and a bit too wild for business gatherings. But I think we may see each other again.
In the meantime, I thought I'd keep things interesting. And so I started cheating on my iPad with a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. It's the first few weeks, too early to tell. Either you or my therapist will know how it ends.

I applaud your honesty without being an ass about it. I chose the SIII because of the big screen but unlike you I have large hands and can reach around the whole thing.
I do miss the iPhone battery life but I like having the screen more. I'm also a bit of a tinkerer so jail breaking isn't quite enough for me.
But I respect your choice and wish you the best of luck with your iPhone. I hope it serves you as well as my SIII will serve me.

Yea... i was the exact opposite. my first smartphone was an old Motorola Q running Windows Mobile. After that, when the iPhone 3GS (the first REASONABLE seeming iPhone) came out, i upgraded to that. It was nice... and there weren't really any great Android devices at that time. My biggest beefs... lack of customizing options without jailbreaking, and requiring iTunes for damn near f*cking EVERYTHING! When the iPhone 4 came out... pre-ordered that. Also nice... liked the screen, nice camera... but still.... no customization, no ability to use something other than iTunes. When the Motorola Atrix was announced on AT&T, it seemed like quite the awesome phone. They came out, i bought one, and sold my iPhone 4 on eBay for like $450. Haven't looked back at Apple's ways. iTunes just completely sucks. Makes it seem even worse when you realize that any song you pay for is just a rental, apparently. But it sucked having to be tethered to iTunes to do damn near anything. "Oh, you can make a custom ringtone, but it has to be in this format, with a file size lower than this, and with a playback time shorter than this". Yea.... i'd much rather be able to slap any old MP3 onto a folder on my phone using any old file browser on my computer (Or *GASP*.... on my PHONE!?!?!) and be able to use it, no matter the length or file size.
But yea... you enjoy your iPhone if it's more suitable to you.
