SDA/SP5M and a wired headset

[JPaddler]

Hello, I just got a T-Mobile MDA... I bought the phone to replace my ipaq 2210 and moto flip phone. I got tired of having multiple devices to charge and keep track of while traveling.

I like the features of the MDA, but as a phone I find it lacking.

Call quality when using a "good" wired headset on the other end is awful. Lots of echo and background noise.

I have been told to get a "good" bluetooth headset (80 to 100 dollars) plus the cost of the MDA, is getting to be an expensive upgrade.

I'm wondering if anyone has the SDA/SP5M and has used it with a wired headset?

Also, has anyone tried the freedom mini bluetooth keyboard?

Looks like it might be a good input solution for text and email... which I have been doing alot on the MDA with agile messenger

Thanks for any light you may shed on this.

I bought this keyboard on ebay for under $90 and it works great:
