Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
@Shortfuse-
I see why you call yourself Shortfuse. It had nothing to do with me sticking a stupid SIM card into the phone. While their guy was making sure that their network would recommend my phone, it would not, since the HTC TyTN_II was not yet recognized on their network. Nothing to do with SIM. Their drone has to put a phone type into the system, *even though it should not make any difference*, before it will allow that phone to work on their "open" data network. I finally got him to just plug in another phone model, and I was on my way.
