Bluetooth Headset that looks like a regular phone? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories

Does anyone know of a bluetooth headset thats a phone-replica, rather than an earpiece? I know that sounds like a bit of an odd request, but the Hermes is a bit too big to look cool against the ear and, no offence, but bluetooth headsets seem a bit pointless unless you get a lot of calls, and even then you look like a bit of an idiot walking round talking to yourself!
So what I'd like is a small 'phone' that connects via bluetooth or whatever that lets me make and receive calls without having to mess about with my brick, or wear an earpiece all the time.
Is there anything like that out there?
Ideally I'd also like to have caller display, and send/receive texts on it too, but I'm guessing thats one for the future?
Cheers

WAAAAAAIIIIIITTTT
I know what you're talking about. LG has one it is black and looks like a pen. I even think it has number keys.

I think this is a great idea. Something the size of Motorola Razr or smaller (and lighter) that you can carry on your waist with the real phone in your briefcase or backpack. I would buy one!!

You could try one of these: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/8928/.
I haven't got one yet, although the US to AU exchange rate is quite good right now...

Great idea....
now who will be daring enough to walk around there city while talking on it.
fairly easy enough to make though I guess.

Thanks for the replies, I looked at that big thing and was tempted, but was also thinking about getting one and fitting the bits into an old phone or something.
But now I'm thinking that I have so many free texts and minutes that I could just have everythign forwarded to another number, if I can find a program that wil forward text messages...................?

Phonealarm will do that...you can even set it up in a special location profile.
Hope I could help! Brevi

there are always odd request but you will win the contaest if there is one....
if the PDA phone is too big and bluetooth handsfree are too small then i suggest you buy a dummy phone set (display unit) and whan ever you answer your Bluetooth handsfree put that dummy set to your ear so ppl think you are talking to a phone....
in this part of the world ppl know there are blue tooth ear piece and why should i care of ppl what they think if i talk to my self or to some one else on a bluetooth handsfree....

i am very sorry but you guys are screwed up in your head and you really need help.... please go and check your heads with a doctor....
one guy is looking for big Blue tooth and you want it as well...
where in the world you guys are from......
can i ask one question if you put your bloody phone in a bag or briefcase the how the F*#* are you going to check your SM and email..... (then i thik you will want the SMS to be on the Bluetooth handsfree...)

truffle1234....
You really are a bloody idiot aren't you. First of all you spend time knocking someone who is asking a simple question, then you make out it's silly when really there are good real world applications for this. You're just too damn ignorant and up your own bum to realise that. What does it matter to you? Do you think your opinion is really that worthy that you have to blurt it out even if it is not helpful? Are you that sad an unfulfilled in life?
Oh and for gods sake read his post properly before you mis-interpret it and add it to your idiotic retort.

Just a thought... Several manufacturers now offer bluetooth VOIP headsets. If these use the same protocol to connect to a bluetooth PC as a headset does, they could serve the wanted purpose...
(without display)
I personally use a Nokia HS-12W, which allows me to keep the TyTN tucked away. I haven't had any luck with getting the caller name to appear on the display though.

Cyberon voice comander can read sms and email over bluetooth. Why don't you get your head checked, out of your a#!... or better learn what your phone can do before you start trashing other peoples ideas. Who knows what inovations could come from this question. In case you forgot this is xda-DEVELOPERS.

Wow maybe you should look into getting a different phone. sell yours and buy something smaller.

this might help, only if somebody could reverse-engineer this.

This has got to be one the funniest threads.
I think that the whole concept of a cordless phone for your phone is GREAT!
This will mean that we can truely acsend to super geekdom now.
remotes for cell for cordless for wired phones
Are implants next??
This concept could extend into the next millenium of useless gadgets and beyond...

I thought I'd revive this thread. I'm looking for the same thing.
Currently I have a Razr2 and a Palm Tx. I love the non-convergence as I can take notes on a bigger screen palm, while talking on a non-brick.
I was hoping for a Palm Tx replacement (non-phone w huge app store & bluetooth data) to come out, but there's none so far. The closest is the iTouch but it can't get online via bluetooth.
So, I'm thinking, what about doing it backwards? Get a nice big touchscreen smartphone from one of the big app-store companies to replace the palm. And a "feels like a razr, works like a razr" bluetooth earpiece that I'd use like a phone. I obviously don't want a second phone as I'd be paying for two voice lines monthly.
Has anything come out yet? A slim flip-phone-style bluetooth headset that has dialing, caller id, ringing, etc?
