OK, so I'm not planning on actually building my own Bluetooth stuff, but stealing the guts out of one of those silly-looking Borg earpieces all the idiots are wearing these days.
You see, I just recently found this little gem:
My recently acquired cell phone does sound reasonably good (but great), but it's also a little inconvenient to get the tiny little speaker up to my ear, etc. Plus there's the matter of DIY street cred, which I've gotten behind on.
So my basic plan is to buy a fairly cheap Bluetooth earpiece or headset, get the innards out, and fit them into this handset. The speaker will likely be compatible right out of the box, if it's anything dynamic. I'll most likely have to replace the old-style handset mic with the electret that'll come with the Bluetooth stuff. Then just the one answer/hangup button, which seems to be the typical setup.
Anybody try this already?
