ASUS P505 and Bluetooth Headsets -- In Search of a Perfect Match

Choosing a Bluetooth Headset for a Pocket PC Phone: Matching Matters I have had trouble using bluetooth headsets with my ASUS P505 Pocket PC phone. My good old Jabra BT200 headset, which worked perfectly with my Sony Ericsson T630 cell phone and my friend's Dopod 818 Pro Pocket PC phone, produces static noises when it is only 1 meter away from the P505. The problem is worst when I'm on the phone walking in a shopping mall or a crowded place -- I hardly hear anything but static noises even when the phone and the headset are 1 meter apart!
