Wow nice features.  Really like the ability to pair multiple phones.

I may as well be honest and accept that I'm going to end up buying one at some point…   ;D

me too. 
I didn't bother with the trade-in when they offered the upgrade to the micro-usb, but I love that little do-dad.
I'll be watching for pricing once its available.

I still have an original.  And an upgraded one.  I should see if they would still honor the upgrade?

Regardless, I still know I'm going to get a 20s.  Don't really NEED it…but damned if I don't want to support Sena for doing the whole communicator and service aspect right.

You can get an updated unit, but it won't be free. IMHO, unless you need the 20S features, I'd stick with the SMH-10.

One very useful feature is in the pipeline: support for side tone. That means you can hear yourself talk on the phone or intercom (this is standard practice with any telephone). The real winner, if Sena listens to user comments, will be the ability to, for example, talk with a toll taker or gas station attendant without taking off you helmet to hear them. And all of this will be done with a firmware update for the SMH-10.

We went with the UClear 200.  I like the boomless design and it sounded by far the clearest.  We love it.  She'll take calls on the bike and they don't even know we are out riding, all the while I'm listening to my music.

Well, as an example, unless you use EZ-Pass on the PA Turnpike, you hand your ticket and money to a real live person. In Oregon and New Jersey, customers can't pump their own gas. Since I just happen to live in PA (but have EZ-Pass, but not on loaner bikes) and am fairly near New Jersey, this isn't quite a solution in search of problem.

I hardly ever take my helmet off when I'm riding. I just flip it open! But you're probably referring to those that don't wear modular helmets!

Afraid I don't understand.  How would the Sena hear the toll-taker?  How would the toll-taker hear you?

Um, er... this is a joke, right? [/headscratch]

Think about this scenario: hot mic picks up voice(s) of person(s) not in the helmet. Person in the helmet speaks out loud. Person(s) out of helmet hear(s) person in helmet. Discussion ensues.

OK... maybe you don't know that, in fact, the mic does a very nice job of picking up sound outside of the helmet if the visor's up. I usually ride with a guy on a BMW R1200 RT. It's not uncommon to hear a bit of the noise of a vehicle, coming the opposite way, as it passes his bike. Even at speed, though, it's not a problem.
