As far as I can tell, this is new in OEM packaging. Here's the breakdown:
$65 - $32.50 (50% off MS Live CashBack Store) = $32.50 + shipping ($5 for me in SoCal)
Reseller ratings aren't that hot but I've ordered with them before and had a good experience.

Tri said: Code CELL8 will save you a few cents over FREESHIP. Actually FREESHIP saves you more after MS CashBack. Of course, if they don't deny paying for the use of coupon.
This is not meant as a thread crap...just a word of caution to all.
Caveat emptor.
This shop is also selling "white box" Motorola headsets for real cheap, in some cases, cheaper than the normal eBay prices for the knock-offs. In the case of the Motorola headsets, they will almost definitely be knock-offs (I say this from experience, having purchased 2 or 3 of them myself (from eBay)). For further information on the Motorola fakes, check out one of the many guides about them here.
I don't know if the Jawbone headsets themselves are fake or not, but considering the other fakes that this site is likely selling, I'd at least approach with caution.
I ordered one using freeship code and checked my live acct which says $32.50 pending from CellPhoneShop. This is a good sign since all my fleabay ones have gone thru already.
If this is a fake, I'll just return it within 14 days and dispute thru cc if they give me a hassle

Okay....so I signed up using the CashBack thing (followed the instructions from their home page). I searched for the store from M$'s CB site, clicked through.....$64.99. I used "freeship", and everything seemed to go through fine.
1. How long until I see the pending/approved CashBack? 2. Anything I should worry about with getting the CB from M$? 3. Any idea how long this will take to ship?
Thanks, green for the OP!
ps. Sorry for the basic questions, I've been out of the loop for the last while around FW.
When they announce the 62.5% I quickly checked wirelessemporium and accessorygeeks to check out a jawbone 2. It is VERY CHEAP after Cash Back.
Many people can find a lot of deals, lets just hope that we won't see a flood of "Product A new price after MS search Cash Back!" We had enough of googlecheckout through Buy.com. I understand that people have to do a but more work... but a little work never hurts.
Edit: Read the other threads concerning Cash Back. I am hearing horror stories when using a coupon. To be safe, we all should buy an item at full price with no discounts that we ourselves add on
They also have Original Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset - White Box Pack on sale for $75 ($37.5 after MS live 50% Cash Back) link How does this compare to the Jawbone? This one is quite new. Could this also be a counterfeit?

FYI - I ordered a different white box Jabra headset from CellPhoneShop.net about a month ago via a deal in another thread and received a used item.
To be fair, the headset was immaculate and everything was fine except for a) one of the two instruction sheets in the box was a photocopy, and b) the wall charger cord was hand-wrapped in a rubber band rather than with a machine-wrapped twist tie. That said, another poster in the same thread said his headset had earwax and hairs on it, so YMMV.
Bottom line, past experience has shown that "white box" at CellPhoneShop.net likely means "used".
PS - I used the FREESHIP coupon at checkout and received my CashBack notification soon after purchase saying everything was groovy. We'll have to see if they actually pay out, though.

I just pulled the trigger. Even if it's used, as the other FWer said, I don't mind to give it a try if it's in like-new condition and not knock-off, considering the price is good after MS Cash Back.
This is the first time I ordered from them so no idea how long it will take to ship. Will answer the questions regarding Cash Back based on my own experience.
Usually it takes about an hour to receive an email to inform you the transaction involving the Cash Back (as well as to show it in your Cash Back account). If you don't get the email within that day, chances are you are having some problem. Last time I grabbed a couple headsets from wirelessemporium and it didn't show up in my MS CB account. After 7 days I contacted their support and it's fixed almost in no time. I did use coupon when I put through the order, not sure it caused the problem and still it's a happy-ending story.
Actually for almost all transactions in my MS CB account I used coupons, including this one from CellPhoneShop. But as I said it's just my experience.
