Default Blackberry headset ?

I recently bought a genuine blackberry Bluetooth headset from a Vodafone store.On the box it says for all blackberry phones,but after trying to charge it I found that the headset was only for a mini USB and the phone its self takes a much smaller plug.I got my money back ok but I was wondering if any body else has had the same problem? The guys in the shop looked at me like I was dumb and after about 10 minutes of trying to get it to work at the back of the shop said nothing and sorted the refund
Can anyone recommend a good head set for this phone? has to be light and easy to use and if possible can charge from the car and not just a mains power.
Cheers Gonzo...

Im lost.
A bluetooth headset thats not compatible with your BB because it uses Mini USB ?
Whats its USB connection got to do with its compatability via bluetooth with a phone?

Most Bluetooth headsets will work with a BB I would say. My Nokia one does.

You can get mini usb to micro usb converters on Ebay etc, I have a couple and they do the job well.

Its not the compatibility, Its the fact you can not charge the bloody thing with out plugging it into a computer

Oh you wanted to use the same charger for both like Nokia do, I get ya now

Like G00ner says, get a little adapter. I rarely have to charge mine during the day though, but then im not very popular lol

In fairness I dont think there is anything wrong with the way its been sold. Suitable/ compatible is usually in reference to connection and not charging.

Thanks guys
I have just bought one of the adaptors off Ebay Cheers Gooner.
Snazy I know what you mean about how its sold but I do think they should mention that the only way to charge it is via a computer or you have to purchase an adaptor lead from another source

Was there no charger with it then? That's a bit naughty of them surely. Especially considering the idea of a blackberry is to be away from a pc more lol.
Saw a cool new pouch for the BB's the other day, built in charger so keeps the BB topped up.
