I'm looking at the Cardo Scala headset to go with my E815. Anyone using
this headset and care the comment on its' features, such as:

comfortable to wear (especially if you wear eyeglasses)?
talk time per charge?
easy to pair with the phone?
does it keep connection with the phone well?
sound quality and volume?
does it have the dreaded "flashing blue status light"?

Any help appreciated.

Yes it is! Don't bother using the eyglass mount though; it doesnt work.
The earlobe mount works find though.

At LEAST a couple of hours. My battery has never run out, and I charge
mine maybe once a week.

Very easy.

During calls, yes. Ocassionally I've found taht during standby, the
phone and Scala will spontaneously disconnect, and reconnect about 30
seconds later. This seems to go away if you connect using the phone's
menu, rather than using the earpiece to initiate the first connection.

EXCELLENT!

Yes it does. I think it's a requirement for bluetooth accessories to
have bright, annoying flashing blue LEDS, just to let everyone who cares
to know (and even those who don't) that yes, Bluetooth is in use. :)

Well, I had one....that is until my wife accidently dropped it in water.
Until then, it worked really great. As far as the stupid flashing light,
a drop of flat-black paint took care of that pronto!
