I was also wondering if it would be possible to use a SIP phone client such as sjphone on my kindle. If so I would of course need a headset for this. Does the kindle include bluetooth support, or would a USB headset work? I assume the headphone jack is just that and does not include support for a microphone.
If you're hoping to somehow use the 3G support for that, please don't! While I don't have a 3G Kindle (mine is WiFi only) I really hate to see people abuse the most awesome and extremely generous offer that Amazon has set up for high bandwidth (read: expensive to Amazon) programs. We've got a good thing going, almost too good to be true, and I'd hate to see it killed by abuse!
