They are exactly the same internal configuration but the micro loses the plastic surround making it considerably smaller. If you are daring enough you can cut any mini SIM down to micro SIM size. Anyway to answer the question about bluetooth, I use a Nokia BH905. Its a headset style over the head arrangement and supports A2DP and AVRC as well as standard headset protocols. Its a really nice headset with noise cancelling, a beautiful design and feels very solid. Unfortunately the iPhone and iPad don't support AVRC for remote control of play/pause/forward/backward. which is a pain but the biggest issue on the iPhone iPad and iPod is the resolution of the bluetooth protocol. It hasn't been complained about very much so I asume that most people don't notice. I don't have any measurements but i'd guess A2DP on the i devices is limitted to only 12KHz, maybe 16 but certainly not 22 or 44. Music through all bluetooth headphones that I've heard is tinny and limited in trebble. It isn't a limitation of the bluetooth protocol as if I pair them with my Nokia N86 or N95 they sound spectacular. I was really hoping Apple would address this issue in IOS 4 but I guess they haven't had enough complaints about it yet. Its very annoying though as I have a beautiful sounding headset crippled by apples drivers. In summary though the BH905 will do exactly what you want, they are solid and sound wonderful as long as you don't mind losing a little trebble.
