Blackberry Pearl question-head set?

[golfgal]

Can you use a regular headset with the Pearl or does it have to be a Bluetooth deal?

My pearl came w a headset; but it is buetooth ready- I don't use either though. But it was in the box.

I guess I need to check my box--maybe I have one .Ok, I checked, it is just a headset if you want to listen to music, not one you can use for handsfree talking.

Is that what it is? I'm sorry- I feel like an idiot now! This whole time I thought it was a handsfree set-geeze- what a racket; so basically you HAVE to buy the Bluetooth?! Sorry again.

Are you positive? The one that came with my Pearl can be used for music as well as hands free talking. There is a microphone in the part that contains the "button". Is yours different?

I guess I don't know-I have to find the actual set now . The box just said headphones-I didn't investigate further--off to find them.

Well, cool, you just saved me $80!!! Yes, the earbud thing DOES work at a handsfree headset--added bonus I can hear MUCH better on them too!!
