I have an IO gear one I bought, wasn't too expensive and works pretty good. Battery life sucks though.

I can't stand people that walk around and talk on those all day long, it's flat-out rude in a lot of cases. When I was a cashier at meijer over the summer I had SO many people who wouldn't even say hello to me the entire time they were in my lane, but chat away on one of those damn things.

I only want it for in the car (and when I'm on long conference calls).

I'm with Hell... Only use it while driving. Won't talk on phone if and drive if I don't have either a headphone or speaker phone.

My headset, an HS830

Works with my phone, an N-Gage QD and then I have an MP3 player loaded from lonelycatgames.com plus a 1g MMC card so I'm rollin' with tunes and I'm wireless. Grin

I've got an HS805 which is the low end motorola headset. It works great, has good battery life and is reasonably priced. I rarely any use it any more though because I've found that when you have a BT connection between the headset and the phone, the phone only rings through the headset so if you don't have it on, you cant hear the call. Since I am just not the type of person that would wear one of them constantly I missed a few calls and got annoyed. I still use it, but usually only at work. It allows me to place the phone near a window in my stateroom so I can get a good signal and still move around while talking. I highly recommend going BT though, 30ft. is quite a bit and you will love the freedom. If your phone supports voice dialing, you can pretty much leave your phone anywhere within 30ft. of you and still make all your calls with most headsets without ever needing to touch the phone.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Motorola BT headsets and I've also heard good things about some of the Jabra models as well. Personally I chose motorola because I have a motorola BT stereo headset (HT820) and transceiver (HS800) that I've used and been happy with for quite awhile now.
