Yes, it is a 1.1 device. I mentioned it because 1.2 devices are starting to appear and they tout greater battery life. I wouldn't really sweat that though. It's just a "more better, more cooler" kind of thing. I haven't had issues with the battery life of my 820. It is also nice that your one Moto charger will charge your V551 and your HS820. You might consider getting this handy little cable that allows you to charge your phone and your headset at the same time with the same travel charger. I ordered a few this week.

New gadgets are cool. Just be prepared for people looking at you like you're schizo when you're talking to someone on the BT. People always think I'm talking to them or myself.
