UPDATE (03/09/2007):

while the previous beta(s) didn't work with the Nokia HS-12W (see this user report), JETware Hands-free Extension for Windows Mobile phones may receive real Nokia HS-12W support in the future, meaning you'll also see the caller name on your Bluetooth headphones, not only the number. Other users have reported success with Sony's HBH-DS970 (see for example this thread for more info).
You can not upgrade the firmware (to, for example, fix the Microsoft BT stack-related, major issues of the Plantronics headphones or to add multiple source support to the Nokia) on any of the reviewed headphones. This is diametrically opposed to, say, Motorola's approach, who fixed the skipping problem present in early HT820 revisions with a firmware upgrade flashable to these models (see this thread for more info if interested).
Another HS-12W thread here. I also highly recommend the thread Sony Ericsson HSD-DS970 vs Nokia HS-12W.
