any opinions on bluetrek, good? bad?

My opinion is that you should wait.

There are two new Bluetrek models coming out very soon. I was talking with the US distributors a few days ago and have seen the photos and specs of the new models.

But as to the first Bluetrek, it is a good value. You can get them for $40 or $50 now, I think. Not the best design in the world, but you get used to it.

aaargghh i just bought one, for less than 50, it is a pain in the ass to put on, but it works alright i guess, i really dont know as much about these as u guys do. whats wierd is how the 2 buttons control everything, for instance, if u are on a call u press vol + to increase vol, but u also press that same button to end call, how does bluetrek know what i wanna do. im using the s56 siemens, complicated fone versus my nokia 3390, which i love. thanks

There are a lot of headsets that work like that, but I agree that a third button makes more sense.

As to the trick of putting in on, you'll get it eventually. Just takes some practice. But after I was done the review of that thing last year I could flip it on and off one handed without thought.

I had a play with one of these today, it's fairly easy to put on and take off, even though I could never tell when it was on properly... But it never fell off even with me shaking my head around like a rag doll...

It's nice when it's on your head, I think it's a bit big when it's off...
