Follow this scenario and see if you can "grow a brain".

You are absolutely right there are many permutations of BT accessories and BT phones.
You are absolutely right that there will be compatibility issues based on the thousands of combinations possible.

Now.... is it the customer's responsibility to test for all those permutations to find a compatible device? How much time, money, and effort is reasonable to expect of the customer to invest? Is it one hour? One day? Weeks? Months? Well?

Sprint has a testing lab. They have R&D money to support any given product launch. It might cost them about $5000 in materials and about $4000 in labor to buy about 50 different BT headsets, test them, and either say yes or no on compatibility. Publish the list, case closed.

Sure, Sprint should do that, but it's probably not going to happen. On the other hand, we have the resources to pool our knowledge and experiences in this forum and assemble a useful list of BT devices and information about how well each model works with the Mogul. This has been done nicely in these forums for other PPCs/Smartphones, but I'm not sure it's really been done comprehensively for the Mogul, even though the Mogul is probably the quintessential example of a device that is crying out for such a resource.

If such a thread exists already, it might be a good idea to make it a Sticky. But the closest thing I've find to what I'm talking about is this thread:
