What is the difference between the regular Bluespoon and the Panther Edition? Blue versus Black? Cost? Any functional difference?

Oh, I forgot to offer an opinion. I love the Bluespoon and if the Panther is any better, or even the same, it is a great bluetooth headset. I tried an HBH-30, HBH-60, Motorola, and several others and was blown away when I go the Bluespoon. I have already lost two and on my third one...

My comments comparing HBH-60 and Bluespoon:

1) HDH-60 uses the same AC adapter as the P800 - very nice feature. I travel and the Bluespoon charger is a bit of a hassle.

2) Specs say the Bluespoon battery last longer, and it does last a long time..just amazing for the size. But the HBH-60 seemed to last as long. Didn't really do serious testing. HBH-60 also has a battery level test - I don't think the Bluspoon does.

3) Buttons on HBH-60 better positioned.

4) HB-60 uses an "over the ear" earpiece where the Bluespoon fits inside your ear. Both cause some discomfort initially but become OK. The HBH-60 will fit on either ear, the Bluespoon only on right ear.

5) Both have good sound volume & clarity but I prefer the Bluespoon (I am getting older and the "in your ear" design seems to produce better volume).

Over all, I prefer the Bluespoon. Returned the HBH-60. But the HBH-60 is good and half the price. I believe the new Digital Bluespoon might be worth waiting for - I plan to buy one and try it out as soon as it is available. If I were buying now, I would by another (my fourth) Bluespoon.

If the Panther offers better functionality, I would opt for it - plus it looks a little cooler.

Hope this helps.

From my understanding the digital Bluespoon should be out soon...If I were you I'd wait and get the latest instead of buying a non digital...I haven't tried the HBH-60 but I would never give up the Bluespoon...Here in Bahrain when I go to the SE agent even their sales people are impressed by the Bluespoon...

I use the Jabra Freespeak BT-302 it works really well. Jabra just replaced the one I had with 52A firmware, so far the headset seems to link better with the phone and I can use BT auto mode for incoming & outgoing calls. I have small ears so the in the ear design fits me better. I am looking to getting a digital one when it comes out. My first BT headset was the Ericsson HBH-10. This works alright with the P800 but just does not fit my ear properly.
