A simple yet effective Bluetooth headset for hands-free calling, Jabra's BT2010 is a budget offering that won't break the bank. Its sound quality isn't outstanding but the stylish design and decent battery life mean it offers plenty of bang for your buck.

Bluetooth headsets have recently strayed from being large, bulky and ugly units to being stylish and compact designs; the BT2010 continues this trend. It's not the smallest headset on the market, but the gloss black front combined with chrome edging gives this unit a touch of class. More importantly, the BT2010 is comfortable to wear for long periods and it features a removable ear hook that allows it to be worn on either the left or right ear.

Like most Bluetooth headsets, using the BT2010 is as simple as possible. The unit consists of just three buttons - two volume buttons and a call handling key. Turning the unit on with the call handling button automatically puts the unit into pairing mode. Connecting to a compatible phone is as easy as finding the device, then entering the pass code (0000 by default). A status light lets you know if the unit is in pairing mode with a solid light, while a flashing light indicates that the unit is paired.

Sound quality is certainly passable, but not outstanding by any stretch. Strangely, the BT2010 seems to produce better outgoing sound rather than incoming sound - most headsets usually do the opposite.

The LG MUZIQ, also known as the LX570, is a recent addition to Sprint's music phone lineup. Like LG's successful FUSIC, the MUZIQ combines a music player and a mobile phone all into one. Specifications for the MUZIQ boast audio features such as Bluetooth stereo, an FM transmitter, background music playback, and dedicated external music keys. With an array of dedicated music features under its hood (and on top), LG and Sprint are hoping to attract the attention to mobile audiophiles.

The brightly colored external 1.3" TFT (128x160 pixel) display that will show pertinent network and phone information. Just above that is the MUZIQ's 1.3 megapixel camera lens and, directly to its right, hidden until needed, is the camera's flash.

The overall design of the MUZIQ is very clean and simple. The top of the handset has a slightly protruding hinge that works well. The bottom of the device is free of any buttons or holes except for the battery cover release. On its right side is where you will find plastic covered headphone and microSD ports. Also on the right are the device's extremely thin dedicated camera and music access buttons, which are actually located on the flip top portion of the handset instead of the base. The MUZIQ's volume controller and charging port are found on the flip's left side.

The phone's microphone is well hidden between the number 5 and 8 keys, and the internal speaker is located just above the MUZIQ's large and colorful 2.2" TFT (176x220 pixel) resolution display.

The LG MUZIQ runs on Sprint's 3G CDMA network and uses EV-DO for data.

Sagem have created the myC2-3 as a mobile phone for those with an extremely tight budget.

Sagem has successfully managed to compress the phone into a miniscule 73mm x 42mm x 21mm. Despite the size and the fact that the myC2-3 also only weights a mere 75 grams, the build quality and design is admirable. The phones blue front finish, combined with chrome and silver trim feels sturdy and the flip mechanism works well. Unfortunately, the small size means the handset has an external antenna, which is somewhat of a rarity.

The myC2-3 may be extremely small, but Sagem should be commended for their control and keypad layout. Well spaced out, responsive and largely comfortable, the myC2-3 keypad is ideal for messaging. They have also kept it simple with the controls - a 4-way navigation button is surrounded by an Answer and End Call key and two selection buttons, all finished off by bright a blue backlight. Many handsets have squashed and uncomfortable keypads to compensate for design features, so it's good to see Sagem making comfort, usability and simplicity a top priority. In saying this, the myC2-3 lacks an external screen, which is quite convenient in flip models, as well as a volume control key.
