The day I bought my iPhone 3G, I paired it up with my car for hands-free calling. I also have a single-ear BT headset for when I'm not in my car.
After the release of 3.0, I can now stream all of my iPhone music and app sounds through my car stereo. Beatmaker sound super good on a really good car stereo system. And Lightsaber Unleased is in stereo! How cool!
I also bought the Motorola S9 BT headset. The only problem I'm having is that sometimes it has a really short range. I use it mainly for when I exercise and it's really liberating to be cordless!
Check out pictures I took using my white iPhone 3G: Street Hiking On OahuMy blog: iPhone 3G & Me
I am completely wireless!!
I have installed io Play for my car - great music streaming and hands free phone kit built into one and all hidden behind the dash! Works like a dream!

I have a Sony SRS-BT100 Bluetooth Speaker in my lounge. Excellent sound quality and fairly loud.

I have Sony DRBT21GB On Ear Stereo Bluetooth Headphones for when I'm out and about or sitting at my desk at work. These again are great sound quality as you'd expect and, when the little bluetooth dongle is attached to your iPhone, everything can be controlled from the headphones (volumes, pause, skip track etc.). Without the dongle the iPhone only allows volume changes and pause (I hope Apple update this at a later firmware!).

I have absolutely no issues with any of this kit. The iPhone auto-connects to whichever device is switched on. So I can be sitting at my desk listening to a track at work listening through bluetooth headphones. Turn off the headphones and the track automatically pauses. Walk to my car, turn ignition on, io Play fires up and iPhone autoconnects, track starts playing where it left off through car stereo speakers. Phone rings, music fades out, callers voice comes through car speakers, I speak through little mic on A-Pillar. Hang up phone and music automatically fades back in. Drive home, turn ignition off, io Play turns off, iPhone pauses track. Walk in house, iPhone autodetects bluetooth speaker, music starts playing! It's that good!! All this and the iPhone has never left my pocket/bag.
My only wishes are that Apple allow track forward/back through bluetooth device, and that they also enable volume control to iPhone when connected to bluetooth speaker so that, for example, I can still control volume of my bluetooth speaker from the iPhone without having to get up and physically adjust it on the speaker itself. For the io Play and headphones its a non-issue, but for the speaker it would make things much better and the iPhone would basically be used as a remote.

Yes on occasion I use my bt headset. Hubby uses his blue ant regularly. Bt is a must have.
Have the Blueant Q1 with voice dial/caller ID and I LOVE this headset.
