I also had my HS850 not really break but fractures develop on the boom and whatnot...it still works mind you. HOWEVER, the H700 DOES NOT have the same problems as the HS850 - they more than likely realized the issue and seem to have fixed it. My wife has a H700 and so do I, they're both in perfect condition after months of hard use unlike the HS850.
You can find a H700 online esp. on eBay for < $50 which is a good price IMHO. It works VERY well with the BB Pearl as well. Connections are instant, Voice dialing works great and the H700 even has a built in mute which is a nice feature for conference calls, etc.
Check it out.
