Ooh, this might be of interest to some. I just went to the Plantronics site again and found an easier way to check compatibility without going through the pdf. It has a guide there. When I told it I was using Mac OSX, it suggested I use a USB headset. Indeed, it didn't give me any other options. So I did a general search for bluetooth headset and Leopard and found this. http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=100431 Apparently, many people have had problems with Skype and bluetooth headsets with Leopard. Granted, this thread is a bit old (2007) and it might have been fixed by now but I'm not too sure. So is there a way, other than bluetooth, to use a wireless headset? I know that there are cordless usb phones, so maybe, there's something similar here?
