<a href="http://pdaphonehome.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=474">http://pdaphonehome.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=474</a><br /><br />I'm a handsfree junkie. Ever since I got my first mobile phone, I've been collecting various handsfree sets, in search of the ONE device that meets my very specific needs. I bet I've got more than fifteen different handsfree sets laying around my house.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/pcmobile_earbud.jpg" /><br /> <br />Mike Collins has written a very good review of a new handsfree set that's made specifically for the Pocket PC Phone Edition. The set is from PC-Mobile and features a very discreet earbud and a retractable cord. And, for anybody who has wondered why you can't use just ANY handsfree set on your Phone Edition, the review also includes a great description of why that is and of some of the adapters for mixing and matching your favorite handsets and headphones with a Phone Edition.

Brad, I'm surprised you haven't gotten the FreeSpeak (http://www.jabra.com/products/FreeSpeak_nonBluetooth.htm) ;) It's for "research", of course.

This one looks very good, though.

If you are planning to use the FreeSpeak with a Phone Edition... wait a few more days. The current version with the cradle will work for the actual audio, but it isn't very useful because you can't use the answer/mute button. Jabra will be releasing a new version specifically for the Phone Edition in the next few days that is supposed work perfectly.

By the way... Thanks for the plug! :onfire:

There is a user fed FAQ at the site... if you have any Phone Edition tips... please share them!

And finally.... BUMMER on Jason's.... :shocked!:
