Bluetooth headset

Hi,

I'm looking for a stereo bluetooth headset and need some advice. I would like a little clipon type device with a screen for caller ID, but here's the clincher I want a 3.5mm socket to use my own headphones so I can change them for the gym or under my motorbike helmet.

The Nokia HS-12W looked promising, but I can't use my own headphones. Anyone using something similar or am I asking too much from a headset?

Thanks

Can I just reccommend the Autocom units for motorcycle listening...

I bought one on offer for �100 last year. OK it's wired, not bluetooth, but I just put the phone under the waterproof map holder on my tank bag, and use the 3.5mm port (also have it charging from the bike too)

I can maintain a clear conversation with somebody on the bike, because it cancels out external (engine/wind) noise. I can confirm conversation is simple at 145mph, and when I get a faster bike, I'll let you know.

Added bonus is you can use radio/satnav/mp3 on the phone

Truly is awesome.

I've got almost half the money I need to buy a Hayabusa now... I'm already very excited 😃
