Motorola HS-810 Bluetooth Headset Review

By Ian Bell December 10, 2004

Quote from the review:

“Ever get tired of all the cords in your digital life? On a recent trip to New York City I found myself stuffing over 6 corded devices into my laptop bag. No wonder when I walk through security they open my bags so carefully! It must look like I have mini-bomb factory in my shoulder bag. From the headphones on my MP3 player, my battery charger on the Centrino laptop, the USB cord to the multimedia card reader, to the cell phone headset cable… I have gone cable crazy! I’ve found myself living the digital lifestyle that I work in, but at the same time am becoming a hostage to the cabling! In my new found quest to cut the cables, while keeping pace with the newest technology I decided to get a Bluetooth headset for my wireless phone.”

Whether you’ve recently landed one of the best phone deals or a discount on any other device that can utilize cellular service such as tablet deals and smartwatch deals, you won’t get far with them without a great cell phone plan. Many of the best cell phone plans offer great savings, but there are more carriers out there to choose from than most people realize. We’ve taken the liberty of rounding up all of the best cell phone plan deals for your consideration. You’ll find the big carriers and some lesser known options among them. Additionally, if you would rather choose a carrier plan by way of first choosing a new phone, check out all of the iPhone deals, Google Pixel 8 deals, Samsung Galaxy S24 deals, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 deals, and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 deals going on.
Mint Mobile: Get any 3-month plan for $15 per month
For a limited time, Mint Mobile has dropped the three-month price for all of its plans to just $15 per month. That means, the Unlimited plan, normally $30 per month, or $90 for three months, is no just $15 per month or $45 for three months. The base 5GB of data per month plan is $15 per month, and the 15GB per month plan is $15 per month, or $45 for three months. That is an incredible deal. All Mint Mobile plans include unlimited talk and text, access to 5GB high-speed data, free calling to Mexico and Canada, free mobile hotspot access, and WiFi calling support. You can't beat that!

U.S. Mobile: Pre-pay $23 per line per month
Prepaid wireless plans are a great option for light users, kids, and anyone else who won’t be consuming a lot of data on a daily basis. U.S. Mobile is one of the best prepaid service providers available today, allowing you to build your own custom plan, so you’re only paying for as many minutes, texts, and gigabytes of data as you want to. As just one example, its Unlimited Starter plan is just $23 per line, or $276 for 12 months -- saving you $72 per year. You get unlimited talk, text, and data, 10GB of hotspot data, international calling and texting, and more. If you're adding multiple lines to a plan, you can also unlock free extras like Disney+ and Netflix. U.S. Mobile even has an Unlimited Flex plan that goes for just $15 per month when you pre-pay for 12 months.

Motorola is a brand that offers a wide variety of smartphones across all price points, whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or something more along the lines of a flagship device. The latest offering from Motorola is the Motorola Edge (2024), and it looks like a really solid choice if you want some power at a budget-friendly price.

With the Motorola Edge (2024), you have a pretty standard glass slab form factor smartphone. Motorola adds a touch of elegance with a beautiful Midnight Blue vegan leather back that should be a lot more grippy than your typical glass phone. It also has an IP68 rating, so it can withstand dust, dirt, and sand while being able to be submerged up to 1.5 meters in freshwater for up to 30 minutes.
