Hmm just curious if there is a Bluetooth headset that can that can be
used with a Bluetooth phone as well as an Bluetooth PC adaptor/access
point (cant remember that they are called?)
I think they require an audio profile to be available as an audio device
in windows? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong :)

I would much prefer a 802.11a/b/g device as my house is covered with
that but I don't know if there are any cordless headsets on the market
that would be suitable?

All opinions and suggestions appreciated

Matt
