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.”

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.

With a new processor, camera, and various small additions, Motorola hopes the new upgrades are enough to propel the Moto G Play (2024) to the top of lists of the best budget smartphones. But will it? Here's everything you need to know about Motorola's new $150 device, the Moto G Play (2024).
