MoGo Talk for BlackBerry gives users built in Bluetooth headset
Never be without handsfree again

Newton Peripherals, the company that specialises in creating Bluetooth headsets and mice, has said they are working on a new Bluetooth headset that slots onto the back of a specially designed backplate for the latest BlackBerry handsets.
Currently in prototype state, the new backplate, which simply replaces the one on the phone, is capable of storing a Bluetooth headset that folds out to plug into your ear.
The company plan to offer Curve, Tour and Storm backplates before Christmas with a BlackBerry Bold version coming shortly after.
Users can change the headset without removing the backplate through either the in-built dedicated USB socket or via the charging points in a standard BlackBerry docking station.
The news comes as the company announced an iPhone case featuring a similar concept, allowing users who don't mind a slightly thicker phone a place to store their Bluetooth headset when out and about.
The iPhone version retails for $129.
