Bluetooth headsets

Hi all,

I'm looking for a nice bluetooth headset to use with my PDA. What brands are good to look at it? I want some something decent, but don't want to spend a fortune either. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I use a Jabra T800. It's got screen with backlight- displays Caller ID and menu options, jog wheel controls volume and scrolls configurable menus and includes ring tones and call vibrate alert. Excellent battery life too.

For your PDA? I assume you want to use it to listen to music, and thus want a sereo headset. Those are extermely expensive. I'd just get a regular pair of headpones if I were you.

Well, here is my plan actually. I was gonna try to use Skype (Voice over IP software) on my PDA to see how well it would work (it supports 802.11b and bluetooth). Thus I was wanting a bluetooth headset to test things out. Do you think this would work? TIA.

I probably wouldn't buy the headset before testing Skype if I were you. Once you find out whether Skype works though, I've heard good things about some of the Motorola headsets.

Hmmm... I was iffy on the question too. I thought you were talking about a PDA phone. Also, I wouldn't use Skype on a PDA either, but yeah, try it out and let us know how it goes.

Well, they've got a Skype version for pocket PC (I've actually already installed it) and mine surpasses the minimum requirements by a ways, so I think I'm gonna give it a shot to see how it goes.
