We have had dect phones here in the UK for years but I think they are making
their way over to the us. I have a plantronics DECT headset and I agree for
being able to type with both hands, ok fingers, is great. I also have a blue
box which sends my skype calls to the DECT phones so I can use the same
headset for skype calls too. Its brill. However I only wear it when I need
to. It sits on the charger until then.
I think in an office its not so bad, but I think Bluetooth headsets outside
look silly. I'm sure many only do it because they think it looks cool. Wrong
!!! I seem to have lost my headset somewhere but I only used it in the car
anyway. And now I have a Tom Tom with Bluetooth it acts as a hands free so I
don't need it.

Actually, having picked up a non-blue tooth wireless earpiece for my
two-line phone base unit, and enjoying a 300' range of mobility while either
being on the phone or being able to answer while remote from my main
computer room, has caused me to lust for blue tooth on my cell phone. There
are times I find myself leaving the wireless earpiece on my ear when not
talking to anyone simply because I can so quickly answer the phone (either
line). Further, I find myself loving the ability to continue working on
whatever project without needing to reach any further than the earpiece that
is so conveniently already in place (hanging on my ear). So, I for one will
likely become one of the folks that "look like idiots" once I select my
trusty Blackberry 7510 replacement cellular phone (non-blue tooth capable),
and get a blue tooth earpiece for use with the new cell phone.
