Apple bluetooth headset unpacking pics

When reader Nomad send us a link to pictures of his new iPhone bluetooth headset, we thought, "Eh, it's just a headset in a box. How cool can it be?"

Pretty cool.

It's packaged in a black, minimalist box, as expected. Inside is the headset itself, a combo dock (accommodates the iPhone and headset) with USB cable and a travel cable for the headset only.

Nomad notes that when both the iPhone and headset are connected to the dock, the iPhone's display depicts the headset, as well as its current charge. Pretty nice. When connected to the stand-alone cable, the headset uses a magsafe connector.

Leave it to Apple to make the act of charging a headset elegant.

Two more things to add:

Yes, you can in fact use the headset to hear voicemails but not music. In the voicemail folder, there is a new sub-folder at the top that lets you toggle between headset, speaker, and phone.
The Magsafe-style connector on the headset is extremely handy on both the dock and travel cable.

Okay, so I accidentally discovered one of these at a local store in San Diego. Got it today. There were about three store clerks at the Apple Store that had no idea it was in stock and were quite jealous I got the last one.

First impression: this sucker is small and fits really well in your ear. I wear glasses and was especially eager to not need any kind of wrap around headset. Sound quality seems good. Better than my previous Samsung headset. The volume is really loud, but I noticed some scratchiness in the sound when I had the iPhone in my pocket and outside in the wind.
All in all, I really like it because of the size. Feels really solid, but its about the size of my pinky.
ONE MAJOR PROBLEM: I can't seem to listen to my voicemail through the headset. Weird?

Does it work with the RAZR? I'll buy it in a heartbeat if it does.

Why there's just one headset instead of two? Hearing music wirelessly would be simply great!

Anyone know if this will work paired with a PS3? Love to use it for both my iPhone and online gaming

I'm sure the sound quality and the mic quality are sufficient. What I'm curious about is the actual earpiece. It's just a little bud that you shove into your ear, and I'm not so sure it'll A) Stay in your ear and B) Actually retain the angle you position it at.
