Does anyone know if you can have a bluetooth headset and bluetooth gps puck paired and use them both at the same time on curve 8330. Any info would help thanks.

I use a BlueAnt V1 headset and a Freedom Keychain 2000 GPS puck simultaneously with my 8830. It should work with an 8330 as well.
EDIT: I should add, it is device-dependent. My ancient Motorola headset would NOT work simultaneously with my 8830 and Freedom Keychain 2000. I think Bluetooth 2.0 in the headset if not both devices is necessary.

i have a verizon 8830 and am debating getting a puck. I want to be able to use my 8830's voice recognition to say "navigate home" instead of just "call home". Will I be able to do this with any gps puck? I also have a blueant headset.

I use a Blueant V1, which is a voice-controlled bluetooth headset, with a Freedom Keychain 2000. Voice control would most likely be a function of the GPS software rather than the puck. I'm unaware of any BlackBerry GPS software that accepts voice commands. If someone knows of a package, I'd be interested to learn about it.
My laptop GPS software does accept voice commands. On a recent trip, it kept thinking I was talking to it instead of to my wife on the phone. It thought I was saying "Where am I" and responded with my location at that moment, much to the amusement of my wife.
I've had mixed results with handsfree and gps. Sometimes I have to disconnect the handsfree in order to connect the gps, but afterwards I'm able to reconnect the handsfree unit and continue using both.
