I am ready to try yor Bluetooth route. I have seen a lot of complaints about BT headset interfacing. What is the best one to use with the HTC 6800 to avoid problems?

this is not an easy question to answer. You do better searching BT review sites. As for me...I use the Jawbone and have no issues...you will see some here may have issues with the Jawbone but not for me. I can use the BT to answer calls, start MS Voice commands, and not one issue of not being heard, etc...and using dcd rom along with GC Audio update sound is very good in the ear piece.

I use a Plantronics Voyager 855, perfect call quality, perfect stereo audio, and flawless controls. First headset that has always worked fine for me.

The best bluetooth headset out there, for ANY device, is the Jawbone 2. Best clarity, best noise reduction by FAR, great battery life, magnetic charging, highly stylish, extremely well built construction, etc etc.

I think anyone that says otherwise hasn't used one. The only downside is price. But you get what you pay for as they say (sometimes).

Jawbone works flawlessly. I haven't tried the new one but I like my current Jawbone and drive a 2500 trip 4 times a year and like the longer battery life of the original Jawbone. I also own a pair of Motorola S9's to use for stereo sound when I'm at the gym and love them. I have also tried the Voyager 855 and think it is another excellent choice but it didn't fit me well.

If you want a stereo bluetooth headset for listening to music or audiobooks (as well as a headset with a decent mic), the Plantronics 590 works quite well and a charge can last across a couple days with it turned on most of the time (but not broadcasting constantly). Plus you can pick them up for a song on ebay. My wife and I both got sets in the $40 range.

After owning 30 headsets.....I think the best four are the Plantronics 510, 855 (for stereo), Jawbone, and blueant z9i. I personally think the plantronics are the best overall...but the jawbones are hard to beat when it comes to blocking out sound. The z9i does a great job at noise cancelation but I find the Planty just are more comfortable and have killer range and battery life than the Blueant and Aliph offerings. IM me if you want to chat more about each. Used them on my ppc's.

Heard many good things from people on the 855 in use with the htc phones...they are great for getting a headset that can be single or stereo in use.

I've got a jawbone which works great. Unfortunately, I have to carry two phones (for work and personal), and the jawbone can only connect to one at a time. I've heard that some plantronics headsets have some kind of multi-point technology, which I need to look into..

Another reason why I liked the Plantys over the jawbone was it does noise cancelation better but they do just about everything else better....mulitpoint works as advertised. They have a more pleasant frequency response while the jawbone is louder but higher frequency heavy. Not pleasantfor music listening. Blueants will do 5 phones, and a computer.

BlueAnt Z9 & Z9i work great for me...

I have the stereo Jabra BT620s's and the battery lasts for 16 hours straight. The sound is also excellent. Although, I do have a bigger head, and they do squeeze pretty tight. Excellent quality though. :)
