it would be lice to get a bluetooth v1.2, but possibly only one on the market right now and I don't remember the make or model#. you can get the D-link DBT-120 at compusa for $29.99 - $10 rebate. it looks like a really good one has 128bit encryption and some other good features like it being have the size of a pack of bubblegum. I guess its that price while supplies last. good luck

The linksys has a great range upto 300 feet and does work with bluetooth headsets. (Class I = 100 meters, Class II is 10 meters)
