A number of sites are reporting that the E200 doesn't support BlueTooth headsets.
Well here, we try it, and tell you THE FACTS 
On the E200, you have an option to discover devices (some other sites actually stated this option didn't exist!). When you discover and bond with a headset (I tested a Jabra BT 200), the phone recognises that the headset profile is supported, and says 'This device supports the Headset profile, would you like to add this device as your headset' (or similar), click 'Yes', and hey presto
It works a TREAT too, and you can answer, and most importantly END the call from the headset button. So... We have headset support, Serial support, Activesync over Bluetooth... it's looking good Be away you doubters...

Paul, I know the Q and A session isnt until monday - but while we're on the subject of the bluetooth headset, does it let you listen to mp3s with windows media player wirefree?

For those with Jabra headsets (this evening works with the 'for non bluetooth devices' headsets):
- Turn off headset by holding down power button - Turn on headset by holding down power button for longer than 6 seconds - blue LED should stay on - Discover headset from E200 (Settings -> Bluetooth -> Bonded Devices -> New) - Input auth code (0000) - Select yes when prompted to add headset Hey presto, all done

Dammit! That was gonna be the only reason I buy a Bluetooth headset - oh well, guess it saves me money
Would a third party mp3 player be technically possible to take advantage of it dya think? -------------------- "I'm sorry you'll have to speak up - i'm wearing a towel"

Unlikely...
TBH, you wouldn't want to use a BT headset for MP3s, the quality isn't designed for that. If someone developed a totally different peripheral, 'bluetooth headphones' it may be possible I guess, but not using the existing headset profile...

Surprised to hear that bluetooth headsets don't let you listen to music, I assumed they did everything a normal headset did! Still, music sounds rubbish in mono anyway

P The bluetooth headset profile does not allow stereo devices. Another profile can be created but it would not be supported by any actual bluetooth device/dongle, as it is not a standard. Though you could use a new profile having both master and slave bluetooth devices (it would be like some headset that provide you both device, and connect it to the bottom of your phone). -------------------- DM
