BTW, has anyone tried any of those phone-agnostic bluetooth earpiece
systems?
I saw one at Radio Shack a couple of months ago. It was way too
expensive ($150 or so, IIRC), more than many phones themselves. If they
come way down in price, they just might fit the bill for those whose
*main* interest in bluetooth is to have a cordless earpiece. I just
wondered if anybody's tried one and if so, how well they worked.

Yes, I have the Jabra one... Paid $190 when it came out... Would like to
do away with the dongle that plugs into the phone though!

How big is the dongle?
Do you have to have their own all-in-one earpiece, or can you get an
off-the-shelf earpiece and plug it into a receiver/transmitter?
Other than the dongle inconvenience, does it work well?

Yes, you can use a standard 2.5mm headset jack. The Jabra works well. Only
complaint is battery life. Only get about 2hr talk time with it.

The dongle is about the size of a peanut butter cup (a bit smaller,
but not much).

I haven't seen any like this but I guess there could be a potential
for it. Only one I've seen is the Jabra.
>> Other than the dongle inconvenience, does it work well?
Mine works very well, I get good range and it's actually quite clear
and static free. Actual range (according to the mfgr) is 30ft but I've
been farther. Talk time on mine is about 3 1/2 to 4 hours provided I
remember to turn off the earpiece when I'm not using it.
