I need to look into this purchase.

Do you know how many times I have made phone calls from Disneyland when I was not supposed to be there? You have no idea.

Edit
Just read this, from here:
Although Bluetooth is a standard, not all Bluetooth is uniformly configured, causing potential compatibility issues between some phones and Bluetooth headsets. Currently, the Bluetooth on the Motorola Q is configured differently than on most phones resulting in compatibility issues with the Jawbone. While we have seen a few encouraging posts on forums regarding the new Q9m, until the Q Bluetooth configuration is closer to other phones on the market, we are unable to recommend our headset for use with it at this time.

I have the Q, so I'll be waiting.

I have to agree with Alex about the flashing blue lights. (Also, the horrid white glow of various text-message screens, iPhones and so on, which have become a CONSTANT at theaters. I wish the "Silence Is Golden" ads would be joined by "Glow-ers Are Annoying" ads.)

So, what is the function of the little flashy blue light? If the wearer can't see it, why is it there? To look cool? It doesn't. Though it matters not a whit, my perception of bluetooth headsets is that they give their wearers an appearance of middle-managerial self-importance. (I'm not saying I wouldn't wear one, mind you, just that I flinch when I notice them on others. I'll get over it.)

I think the intention is to show other people when a call is in progress.

Can't you return with a receipt? Or no longer got the receipt?

No, it seems to blink all the time. Not once when I have approached a person in a theater to ask them to take it off or turn it off has that person been in conversation on the phone.

Doh! That's a headset. It always looked like a lamb (with an evil eye) to me.
