Bluetooth for A900 that takes calls AND plays podcasts?

I load podcasts (mp3 format) onto my A900, but they won't play through
my Bluetooth Jabra BT500.

A wired headset will do both, but not the Jabra, which will only play
the calls.

Anyone know of a good Bluetooth headset that will take calls AND play
MP3 audio?

Like the old saying says, it takes two to tango...

Both the phone and the headset must support the routing of non-phone
audio to a BT headset. Generally that means an A2DP (stereo) profile in
the phone, an an A2DP-compatible (stereo) headset.

On my Pocket PC phone there's a software program available to force mono
audio (like MP3s) to a BT earpiece.

I'm not familiar with the A900, but check it's specs to see if it
supports A2DP, and, if so, then shop for a stereo BT headset...

Good luck!

I found out the A900 does not support A2DP, so thanks for tip there.

But since I'm listening to podcasts, I don't need the stero signal...
mono would do, it there was a way to force the phone into headset
mode...

I may need to actually purchase a BT headset with an adaptor!
(bypassing the limited built-in BT capacity)
