Nothing screams "I'm a douchebag!" like someone walking around with a bluetooth headset in their ear when they aren't actually on the phone. It's like, "I'm so important and everyone wants to talk to me that I can't even take the time to take the phone from my ear!"
I hate them. It's the equivalent of wearing phones, pda's whatever on you belt.
You look like a tool.
However, as it is now illegal to hold a cellphone up to your ear and use it while driving, looks like I have to get one. The earbuds are a bad solution for the car and the speakerphone is a joke.
People with real power don't wear those stupid things. They make other people wear them. They also tend to have other people answer their cell phones.
Funny how people that wear them seem to think it makes them important... go figure.
Wow, such anger...
I keep my Jabra on while driving, since it's dangerous to fumble for the headset when a call comes in. There have been times when I completely forgot I had it on, long after I had parked the car and walked to wherever I was going. Yes, it's that comfortable.
So no, not everyone who wears one is trying to look important
It's a beautiful piece, and I have no issue with the price. I just don't know how much I would use it. If I bought an iPhone, would I feel compelled to use it for every call just to limit screen-to-face time? Even if the bud can't stay in my ear for very long(like the headphones)?
Do I have to wait 2-4 weeks?
I just went to the Apple web site to buy one of these gadgets and they aren't shipping until 2-4 weeks. What the?
Am I to assume that the Apple stores are carrying them since there are obviously those who have their hot little hands on them?
I drive around in a squad car all day and I need the hands-free to operate my computer.. I have used the ear buds that came with the iphone but then I can't hear the police radio (umm, that's a problem!).
I need one sooner than 2-4 weeks.

Day 2 with this thing:
It will probably go back. To address to earlier comments. One, the ear piece is actually larger then an iPod earpiece.
Second person who said you shouldn't leave it on all the time. Usually I would agree with you, however with this headset it takes so much messing around to the get the thing in your ear and just right, you could miss the call till all is said and done.
Its just too small.
Sound Quality is very inconsisitant. Yesterday I made a few practice calls and there was a ton of static. Later in the day though I was able to make serveral with no issues.
This morning on my way to work, it sounded like someone was running a hair dryer inside the thing. At least the iPhone makes it easy to switch over to the phone.
All in all chances of this going back to the Apple store are sitting at 75%.

RE: ihattwick
fair enough. i do agree with you.
however, in this instance the woman in question showed up after the
film had already started. and as i said she was several rows ahead of
me. and it was a crowded theater. so asking her to remove it would've
involved interrupting the movie, stepping over a half dozen people to get
out of my row, and then stepping over another half dozen people to reach
the woman on her own row, talking to her, and then returning. that
just wouldn't do. and it all just would've been so much easier if the woman
could simply TAKE THE PHONE OUT OF HER EAR FOR 90 MINUTES WHILE
SHE WATCHES A MOVIE. or at the very least, put some tape on that
damn light if she can't live without it.
i agree that we must take responsibility for some of the things that
bother us and step up to the plate. but that still doesn't excuse people
who are simply oblivious. is the woman mean or cruel? not really...
she probably didn't know. is she a self absorbed moron that's a little too
fascinated with her own toys? absolutely.

You could always pick up another brand. I use the one I had with my Moto Razr and it works with the iPhone as well. PLUS it will probably cost you less than $129
Larger ear piece . . . that alone (besides the price) does not make this attractive for me LOL
The iPhone does not support Bluetooth A2DP profile (stereo audio), so you cannot listen to music except possibly over the SCO/eSCO which sounds terrible!
