I haven't personally used the HS-850, but you might find this thread on the Motorola HS-850 useful. There is a new Motorola headset, the HS-700. I haven't checked it out.

Yes, I have a Motorola HS850 and have used it for the past six months.

I like:
- The on/off function of the microphone boom
- The fact that it pairs well with the Treo 700wx
- The fact that I don't regularly get too much complaint from callers about the quality of my voice
- The battery life & talk time
- The portability
- The quick charging

I really dislike:
- The sound quality. Its very quite even at full volume. (especially in a car)
- The earpiece is a little small & uncomfortable for long periods of time
- The microphone rested on my cheek so I sounded muffled to callers (Quick fix - Add a small pad to lift off cheek)
- The sound quality cuts out many time even within 10 feet of phone
- The buttons are a little difficult to use on earpiece.

All in all... I'd rate the device a 3/5 for using with a Treo 700wx (windows mobile 5.0). I haven't tried the HS700 but if they could at least fix the volume issue it'd be a 4/5 at LEAST.

Please let me know if you have experience another device that works better. Hope this review helps someone!
