It arrived! I got the free bluetooth headset on Friday! I was suprised to open a box from Youth America and find a Motorola HS-810 headset in the box. I figured there was no way I was one of the first 1000 users of the MPX-220 to register but here it is. The size and shape are really well done and I prefer the flip out boom mic as compared to the 820. My brother says his 820 likes to redial in his pocket. I am disappointed with the interface to the MPX220 though. Voice dial doesn’t work quite correctly due to a problem with the bluetooth stack in Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003. It is rumored to be fixed sometime but I won’t hold my breath. You can actually hold up the volume button on the phone to activate Voice Dial and then speak into the headset but you get no prompts on the headset which is difficult. I can’t use it as a wireless audio device either. It would be nice to play games/listen to MP3s using it. As a hands free headset for phone calls, It works pretty well. It has a world more of possiblities but I guess I will have to wait for Windows Mobile 2005 to see what it can do. It is definitely worth what I paid for it.

Wow. This game is amazing. Wow.

I haven’t even scratched the surface of opening and actually being able to spend some quality time getting to know my new collection of toys from all of the generous gift givers this Christmas. Here is the list:

I had a great birthday party tonight at On The Border and am completely stuffed and gifted. I got lots of great stuff including a Plantronics USB headset for all my Skype needs. The Return of the King extended edition which I can’t wait to watch. The new Leisure Suit Larry . An Einstein Bros. gift card (my fav breakfast and lunch place). A gift cert to Amazon so I can pick up some much needed stuff. A gift cert to Target so I can get some much needed housewares. My favorite gift of the night was from Melissa though. She got me a pair of hermit crabs to replace the one I lost a few months back. I have a monstrous habitat and can’t wait to populate it tommorow with them. They are both fresh water crabs and the big ones name is Bob and the little one with the red shell is Happy. Bob seems to like tortillas and chips. Happy seems a little more quiet and after a tour around our table, he has decided to take it easy and watch Bob mess up the cage. It’s darken outside and time for night-night.
