OK, got the phone (Nokia N73)

Now with the new laws, spose I best get a headset.

Am I best going for Nokia, or would any make do?

Any recommendations?

TIA

Any 'should' do, although my mate couldn't get his headset to pair with his Orange SPV for some reason. TBH, my headset sits in the car uncharged/unused, so don't really answer it when driving.

Thought about one of those Bluetooth loudspeaker things? Seen some taxi drivers use them at town speeds and they were quite good... £50 or so.

I'd go for a nokia. I've always had problems with headsets that are not the same make as the phone. My Plantronics headset will not auto-pair with my Orange SPV M500.

But nowadays I tend to just use the wired earphones I got with the phone.

Done a wee bit of homework, and the Carphone Whorehouse seem to be offering this Motorola H350 at a crackingly good price...

Probably pop in tomorrow & buy one - unless anyone has any bad reports?

Might be wrong but i didn't think that wired earphones were legal for driving with.

I got a JABRA BT500V Bluetooth headset as a pressie ages ago and have used it with Nokia and Motorola phones without any problems. Auto connects fine in my experience. I like the way it sits behind your ear rather than growing out of the ear. Carphone Warehouse doing them at £39.99 so maybe Rich might get a bit more of that.

For Visor Mounted (Not much use in an Elise I know) Bluetooth Kits the Movon MK10 is pretty good value. Fold down screen allow for easier viewing of incoming telephone number. Auto connects easily with my Motorola V3.
