Still holding your cell phone to your ear? How 20th century. With a Bluetooth headset, you can leave your phone in your pocket--and walk around looking as if you're talking to yourself. Car Toys has the Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth headset for just $19.99, plus a ridiculously reasonable $1.95 for UPS shipping.

The WEP200 is a couple of years old, but even by today's standards, it's impressively compact. As noted in CNET's review (and the First Look video up above), it fits comfortably in the ear and has good controls, good sound quality, and a pretty frakkin' cool carrying case that doubles as a charger.

So, to sum up, here's a solid Bluetooth headset for a fraction of its original price. I haven't tried this one myself, but the reviews are mostly positive (including this one over at PC Magazine). If anyone already owns a WEP200, hit the Comments and let your fellow 'Skaters know if it's a winner.
