I have to say I am disappointed as well. Mine also came just wrapped in bubble wrap with a baggie of 2 ear pieces and the metal ear hook. The medium sized ear piece was already installed on the headset but broken when I unrolled the bubble wrap! Mine also came with no instructions. They included a BB folding blade travel charger. This is like a bad eBay dream. I also wondered who had used it before me!! I have ordered cases, batteries, etc from this site and have never had an issue like this. I think I like the headset but with the proper size ear piece broken (and it sounds like this is a recurring problem)it's hard to tell. This has to be the most expensive BT headsets out there and it's hard to believe this is how they are shipping them out.

I must say I'm quite unimpressed with the RIM Shopblackberry.com site this time. I would have been ok with what I got for about half the price.

PS...anyone know where I can get replacement ear pieces? They don' t list them on the plantronics site...at least not that I can find.
I'm not sure why they are shipping that way. As I said above, my free one came all nicely packaged in a RIM box. The sound quality is great, best BT for me so far. It is also very comfortable.
