This was an interesting discussion. I have a solution that's not very elegant but it works.
I have a wired earphone that plugs into my computer and I place the earbud in one ear. Then I have a Bluetooth headset connected too the iPhone with the earbud in my other ear. I use it for listening to music while I work, but it also works for phone calls. As I said, not elegant but it works.
