If the Pine doesn't really perform well to make calls on it's own (too loud, can't remember the volume setting from call to call...) I'm thinking about getting a bluetooth headset.
I've been looking at the 'old' Jawbone ICON HD that's currently being sold for 50,- euro since the new one comes out in a few days here. I would like something that's smallish and could be carried in a (jeans) pocket, so somewhat robust would be good too. I don't phone much but I might use it for audio books if that works well.
Any suggestions? I've never before been interested in those things since I've never needed one, so no clue...

I've just bought a Plantronics M25. It's smallish, seems like it could be carried in jeans pockets without getting crushed or entangled and claims to have 11h talk-time for listening to audio books. Don't know yet if that's even remotely true but it is light 8g and comfortable to wear, fit's nicely into my small ears without any tendencies to fall off (even without the around the ear loop).
Time will tell, but so far I kinda like the little thingy.
Thanks for the suggestion bpm but the Stone with the charger was too big for what I had in mind and without it the form of the headset was not really feasible for pocket carrying.

I prefer my Motorola HX550. Due to the fact that phone calls are really rare (I use my phone mainly for the internet and chats/ gps navigation), I don't wear a headset permanentely. So I was looking for a device which can be in standby mode. I don't need a headset which is permanentely connected, but when I receive or want to make a call, it has to be connected within seconds.
And I want to also carry it in the pocket.
Formerly I used teh "Nokia J" aka "BH-806", but the handling was too complicated.
So I made the decision for the HX550. It is in my pocket, when a call comes in, I pull it out, open it and it takes automatically the call. When it is closed, its offline. Whe I have a call, I open it and within 2 seconds is connected withe my smartphone AND my smartwatch.
