Difference between HS810 and HS850?

Own both the 820 and 850, the 850 definately dominates and I am actually
selling the 820 very soon.
The HS850 is more loud, feels more secure, thought neither will fall off
your ear, and sounds better. Both are good pieces, but the 850 is better,
expecially when you add in the boom, faster connect and disconnect.

I think the final decision for me will be which one "feels" better... I
wear glasses so it will be which one best compliments my glasses...

Thanks again everyone for your input and comments

My 810 came with the 810 and the wall Charger, thats it... Hmmm... It was
from Cingular...

My 850 will be arriving today, I'll be sending back the 810! I did use it
for a few days... No Complaints. The boom mic on and off is nice. Fit on my
ear fine with and without glasses...
