Although this PDA accessory is called the Palm C Wireless Headset for Treo 700w/650, you can use it with any PDA or cell phone that has Bluetooth connectivity built in. There are some additional features that make this headset particularly suited for Treo users, including the unique Travel Charger.

But before we get to the cool AC adapter that comes with this PDA accessory, let's take a look at the headset itself. Very small and lightweight, this PDA accessory comes with a soft, bendable ear loop that lets you fit the headset comfortably onto your ear. The headset can be used with either ear (although Palm recommends keeping your Treo on the same side as the headset for the best reception).

There are two volume control buttons on the edge of this PDA accessory with (+) and (-) button symbols that you can feel at a touch for easily changing the sound level. The multi-function button on the outside of the headset does everything from answering an incoming call to redialing the most recent number.

The headset must be "paired" with your Treo before you can use it, but this process took only a minute and the product manual helpfully walked us through the steps. In fact, you will probably want to spend some time with the detailed manual for this PDA accessory as it nicely outlines how to use all of the headset's features, complete with illustrations and flow charts.

The battery provides seven hours of talk time and up to seven days of standby time for this PDA accessory, and it only takes about two hours to charge it up. Okay, now we can talk a little more about the Travel Charger that comes with this PDA accessory. It's a bit larger than a typical AC adapter, but this one features plugs that will work in many European and Asian countries. Since the adapter can recharge your Treo as well, this is a great PDA accessory for Treo owners who travel internationally.

If you're looking for a handy Treo headset that will also recharge your PDA in a wide range of countries, the Palm Compact Wireless Headset for Treo 700w/650 is the perfect PDA accessory for you.

Pro: Good battery life, international AC adapter
Con: A little pricey
