Helium Digital's Bluetooth headset with OLED display
We've never really understood these displays on Bluetooth headsets. They might come in handy if you had a pocket mirror on you, but would it not then make sense for the text on the display to be backwards? At any rate, Helium Digital's new HD-880 uses the OLED display for help screens in addition to the standard-issue caller ID information, useful for folks unfamiliar with the pairing process. The Bluetooth 1.2 headset offers a claimed four hours of talk time and 30 hours of standby for a suggested retail of $90.

A lot of people don't like to wear the headset if they aren't on a call.
So having the headset on your desk, phone tucked away from site, the headset becomes the display for who's calling.
For people who wear their headsets all day, then yeah, it makes no sense.

Aaron is right...that's the one thing I miss from my BT800.
And if the manufacturers were smart, they would scroll their brand and model name for interested passers-by once the call is accepted.

I second that Aaron. I never constantly wear my headset, my ear would get sore if i did, so this would be nice. To be able to see who's calling without having to pull my phone out may make me lazier, but it's definitely one of the coolest things I've seen.

The display is great because you're not supposed to wear theses things around ALL day! I hate that and you look stupid when you do it.
Leave it off of you're ear unless you're using it!

The display is so your wife/girlfriend can see that you are really fake-chatting with your mistress/ho-on-the-side instead of "your friend Jerry" and getting together for "the game next week." *Busted*
