I'm looking into buying a bluetooth headset, something like this. I have a bag in which I carry my cellphone and when driving, if I get a call it's quite annoying to try to get it out with one hand or wait for a stoplight. Moreover, I hate holding the phone while I'm at the wheel. So what I want is to keep my headset in the car, possibly charge it from the car's 12V plug, and when I get a call I can just put it on, press a button and talk. Is this possible? Would the headset automatically link up with the phone when i turn it on and the phone is near (and probably ringing)? I'd rather not spend 20 bucks on one if this wouldn't work.

Yup, that'll work. It's what I do. I have one of those vent-hanging cell phone seats that holds the phone just to the right of my instrument dash so I can see the caller ID by leaning forward when it goes off. Then if I want to answer the call, I turn on my headset and it automatically connects to my phone (I have a RAZR) and then automatically picks up the call. If the headset is fresh off a charger though it will take longer to turn on (at least my $40 Motorola one does) so if I don't get to it right away I can still miss the call. Then when I hang up I just turn the headset back off again. You could leave it on the whole time you're driving but then you're auto-answering anyone who rings in.
