Most Cells have a blue tooth link up in them now JIm..
You just mate them ..
my self, I use a motorola line that just sits on my ear how
ever, I can say it does not stay on there very well.

If you're referring to using the external phone jack on the
Cell, then I don't know about that.

Blueant gets lots of good press. I have no first hand experience with
one.

The best headset I ever played with was the wired one from etymotic. I
don't like ear buds in general, but the etymotic style are very
comfortable. The patent must be expired given the copies that showed
up about a year ago.

I use a Plantronics and a Motorola, I used a Nokia until the battery
died (nowhere retail wanted to sell me one and I couldn't wait for mail
order) and found the Nokia to be best overall. The Plantronics audio is
good and the Moto is frustratingly hissy but it is a cheap one.

If it's for use in one car then I've had much better results with a
properly fitted car kit although colleagues have used things like

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-CK-7W-Bluetooth-Car-Kit/dp/B000621SKS

and reported good results. There are portable bluetooth car kits that
you can transfer from vehicle to vehicle with their own cigar lighter
powered chargers which I have heard good things about too.

I have two -- an Aleph Jawbone and a recent Motorola HS*** (can't
remember the exact model number).

The Jawbone has noise canceling technology on the uplink. So people
that I call don't hear so much of the background clutter. Downsides to
the Jawbone are that it is pricey and a bit larger than some of the
others. Otherwise, it is a good choice if you want to pay for performance.

I also have a recent Motorola. I find that it works very well, although
it is not as effective at canceling uplink noise as the Jawbone. It is
smaller and lighter. It also can be charged using the same charger that
charges my Motorola phone. Compared to the Jawbone, it seems that it
interoperates with my phone a little more reliably (viz. switching
between bluetooth and the phone).

I have no serious complaints against either of these. They have served
me well.

You really need to consider how you will use the headset. I know
people who wear one all day. I can't do that. If you have to dig for
your headset when you get a call, I can't see much advantage to have
the headset wireless. It's just another thing to charge. Once in a
while I use a wired headset. Either a Plantronics or the kind that
dangles the microphone near your mouth. I can't see how a headset
where the microphone is near your ear will work well. [Yes, I
understand the notion of pressure zone microphonics.]

I do use bluetooth in the car, though it's a built in system.
