Looks like most of the bluetooth headsets are expensive. I spend very little time on the phone, I'm not sure it's worth the investment.

In case it wasn't clear, I have an ergonomic keyboard *now*. If I could get exactly the same keyboard but with bluetooth instead of USB, I'd take it.

Thanks for the links, especially the one to infosyncworld.com.
