Still say the Logitech Freedom is the way to go (the smaller one from Logitech). There is noise though, around WiFi. Much less noise than with the Plantronics 2500 I tried, though. However, there is a trick to getting it to repair after having not been paired for a while (like overnight, separated). A headset with a ? mark on it appears on the 6600 top line indicating it senses the headset but doesn't know what to do with it. You have to press the 'on' button on the headset until you hear the beep that goes "up" in tone (beep beep, with the second beep being higher). THen make a call, and it should work. I always try phoning voicemail first just to ensure. ONce it's paired up, it stays pretty well.
Now regarding keyboards: I have tried three of them, and the Think Outside one is best. It stays paired, and once set up, it's great. I did have some trouble setting it up originally. I had to hassle with it a bit. But now all I have to do is open the keyboard and start typing. The keyboard turns on by iteself, links, and works. It's awesome. I have almost a whole computer (I'm a writer and also live by email) with Word, Outlook, etc. in my pocket now. THe other keyboards were BT too, from Kyocera and HP. THey were solid but wouldn't work with the 6600. They were also bigger. You have to get used to not having the number-key row is all, on the THink Outside board, and the Ctrl and Alt and Fn keys are color coded poorly (blue and green look too much alike in low light. They should change that to blue and red).
