Hi.  Despite the publicity, this is not it.  Do you want to take another shot?

Thanks

Hi, r2,

Unless you are able to give me a little more information, I do not
think I will be able to find what you are seeking, and I will ask to
have my Answer removed.

Can I ask why you are sure the Plantronics M130 is not the headset in
question?

Thanks,

Well, I saw the movie and the device in that particular scene did not
look anythink like the one in the picture.

Sorry!

Please hang in there a day or two, while I check some more sources.

Can you tell me which character(s) is wearing the headset, and
approximately in what part of the movie it is seen?

Thanks,

Take a look at the original question:  Bond and Jinxx, toward the end
of the movie, as they board a jet.  It's the beginning of the big
finale

Duh, sorry, I got so wrapped up in the Clarifications, I forgot to go

I may have a line on this. Please hang in there with me for a little
bit, and we'll see if we can't get you exactly what you want.

Hi again, r2!

Well, I have tried and tried to get hold of someone in Marketing at
Plantronics, but the person to whom I was told to speak never answers
her phone, and has not returned my 2 messages. So I am going to give
you all the information I have found; I'm betting we've got exactly
what you want here.

The cell phone used in "Die Another Day" is the Sony Ericsson T68i,
with mobile MMS and Bluetooth technology:
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/021111/112116_1.html

I think this is most likely the headset you saw in the frantic chase
scene at the end of "Die Another Day":

I have reviewed the movie again and this is absolutely not the device.
 The device is made by Motorola.

At this point I am out of energy for this question and would like to
withdraw.  Should I request refund or will you ask them to withdraw
your payment?

Clarification of Answer by aceresearcher-ga on 18 Jan 2003 09:30 PST
Hi, r2!

My apologies for the delay; I left town last Sunday and did not arrive
home again until late last night.

Can you tell me how you are sure the device is a Motorola?

Isn't the Motorola Bluetooth headset listed above the correct one?

Sorry, I have invested too much time in this -- Google Answers is
designed to save me time.  I have no choice but to give you a low
rating on this question, though i have rated you very high on others.

In addition, I am now over my 30 day limit, so I can't ask for a
refund.

Since you never saw the device, you were really guessing - and you
guessed wrong.

Clarification of Answer by aceresearcher-ga on 20 Jan 2003 13:38 PST
r2,

I am sorry that you were dissatisfied.

Google Answers works best for both the Customer and the Researcher
when there is timely feedback. Since I did not ever hear from you
whether the Motorola device I supplied a month ago, back on December
21, was the correct one, I had no way of knowing whether I needed to
search further.

Regards,
