To do what exactly? According to http://www.heise.de/mobil/bluetooth/db/
that mobile only supports the Headset and Handsfree profiles for audio
transfer which will not give you any stereo sound. If you only want to
hear the mono signal on both ears that's no problem, though. Most A2DP
headphones can also act as Headset and/or Handsfree devices, for example
my Bluetake i-PHONO BT420 EX (I don't have a Bluetooth capable mobile,
so I did never actually try it), and will then output the mobile's sound
signal on both speakers.

How much point is there to /good/ quality stereo BT headsets using the A2DP
profile? The battery drain is going to be at least twice - probably a lot
more for decent volume levels. Battery technology has got better but still
lags well behind the technology that uses it. A wire to power the headset
externally surely partly defeats BT as "wireless technology".

How do you like the BT420EX? I have been thinking about getting them
for a while now, but never quite pulled the trigger. Saw a couple of
reviews commenting on the lack of sound insulation. That isn't a big
negative to me, so long as the audio quality is good, and reception is
strong.
