Yeah, I thought I'd 'upgrade' to the bluetooth version and it's not the 
droid I was looking for.  I mostly use an old Plantronics 2.5mm 1-ear 
headset these days if I have to use the cellphone for long.  My LG phone 
does great managing the gain, the previous Motorola didn't.  The wire is 
unfortunate but I've tried a variety of bluetooth headsets on several 
phones and they've all failed at the basics, like simple noise 
rejection.  The cheap headset uses a plastic mic boom, not DSP's, and 
sounds great.

If anybody actually wants the bluetooth retro, understanding its 
limitations, just shout - the LUG sneakernet can probably find a routing 
solution.
