HI Jan
Looking very much forward to buying this bluetooth headset.
I like the design, size and the hopefulle the price  )
Can you take a wild guess and give me an expected release date ?
How about making a cradle for it - would look nice next to the silver grey design desktop charger for my T68 !
Kind regards

Hi Claus
I'm gonna talk to Nextlink this week, I'll ask about release and prices 
It would have to be a very special cradle, because of size, and the way that the back-part of Bluespoon is designed. And again, it also has to do with money of course.
We wont be making cradles right now,..it might come on future versions. A cable will be provided, together with a very neat case.
See Ya ;-D

Thanks henrik
I'm hoping that I'll be able to say more in this week.
A lot of people want to know more about it, and Nexlink knows this too. And we're working towards this as fast as possible.

We follow international standards/requirements, of course. Just like e.g. Ericsson, Nokia and all the rest.
And tests/measurements are conducted, and have to be within limits.
I cant really give any numbers/figures on this,..simply because I'm not into this specific technical issue.
I believe the bluetooth Consortium (SIG) sets these standards. There're a lot of members in this group, including Nexlink.

I don't see why the radation from Bluetooth should be anywhere near as bad as that from the phone itself - surely the Bluetooth signal is *far* weaker than the GSM signal? |

I had just discover this "bluespoon" and Jan I must compliment for a great work done. I can't wait the thing hit the store in Asia...I will be the first one to get a hand out of it. The next thing you should design is the bluespoon for the MP3 (headset)..Go Go Jan.. |

Sindu...Thanks
Well,..we are working on different things using Bluetooth.
We have some ideas/concepts. I have already made several concepts,..that might just be produced.
******************************************
UPDATE ON BLUESPOON :
I talked to my CEO today.
he's going to Japan in march or April,..bringing the Bluespoon and some ideas for the japanese/asian market.
Its pretty sure to say, that the price of the Bluespoon will be lower than the Ericsson headsets.
(in DK.kr that means under 2000 dk.kr.)
Its very hard to say anything about the pricing,..but bluetooth-devices seems to get cheaper month by month.
RELEASEDATE : still very hard to say. This depends on materials, especially the bluetooth-moduls. And we will be using the newest available.
We dont want to sell a "non-finished" product, or something that will be "old" before even hitting the streets.
Its also a question of how many should be produced.
Expansys in UK have already got more than 100 pre-orders,..and its growing day by day.
You have to take everything into consideration. And Nextlink are "new" to this Bluetooth-thing. So everything has to be extremely well and carefully planned.
And of course you have the "if something goes wrong",..e.g. delays on materials, production.
We hope that nothing goes wrong, and we wont be delayed,.but no one knows
I'll keep posting new info, when I get it

Hi Jan,
I am sure that Expansys will get more pre-orders once they post "new Bluespoon images" and estimated price at their website. I think it will also help Nextlink in formulating its initial production strategies.
I am really surprised that they still don't have the latest images.

Hi OWIZARD :
I dont know why they dont use them. I believe that the new images were sent to them. Might not have had the time to update it yet,..but I dont really know.
They would probably get more pre-orders, if they used the new pictures.
We already deliever Invisio-custom-made headset to the Microsoft Executives Security. And they are very interested in the Bluespoon as well,..sooo
My CEO should visit Expansys,..I think it was here in February.
And he's going to Japan in march/april.
At the moment we're also talking about advertising/the commercial/promotion part.
So there's a lot of different things going on right now, and a lot of stuff have to "fit in".
Next week we're gonna look at the 3d shapes/forms that the CAD-designers have done.
I'm going back to my "pencil & paper work-table" this week. Have some ideas/concepts, that I'm going to show on a meeting in about 10 days from now
Of course, I'm also working "ahead", meaning design of the "future" versions, special editions and so on.
So for now, theres quite a lot to do
