Default Time for a new headset for Xmas

Dave,

Has the 20XLc actually been popular for you.


Very. Pilot stuff here in Germany tend to be more expensive than in the
US because of VAT (19 percent), the shipping cost and a smaller market.
Many people find brand B to be too expensive. The 20 XLc was a great
deal. The Twenty 3G was not offered here. However, both it and the 3Gs
couldn't be sold in Germany for the last year or so because a EU
regulation on allowable "bad stuff" in electronics (search "ROHS" for
details). The headsets exceeded the limits and apparently LS was unable
to change that. The Zulu does comply with RoHS and we are looking
forward excitedly to offering them from next week on.
