A couple of questions from a newbie 9300 owner. Really impressed so far by the 9300, a fantastically well made and designed product that continues to amaze me. I do have a HP Ipaq HX4700 but find that almost all it can do can be done on the 9300! Constantly suprised by this units ability to get stable 'Orange' signal in areas that even my Nokia 6310 and 6600 had trouble.

1. Stereo headsets - which should I be looking at to purchase, music on the move is important to me. Nokia seems to make a range of them, any advice on the best to use with a 9300. Are there any other manufacturers that make stereo headsets for the Nokia 9300?

2. I'm also planning to upgrade my now battered and worn iTech bluetooth headset (which wasn't good), can anyone recommend a good bluetooth headset that works well with the 9300? Do I have to stay with Nokia to get good compatibility or do SE, Motorola and other headsets work well?

Thanks for the help.

Bluetooth is quite easy although the 9300 only supports the Handsfree profile, not the headset. This makes a bit of a difference to what you can buy. And it also does not support voice dialling which is an bad oversight on Nokia's behalf.
I have the Jabra BT250V which supports vibration, another thing the 9300 does not do. Any of the Jabra ones or other makes will do, just make sure they support the handsfree profile. Answering calls is easy but making them you still have to use the handset unfortunately.
