^^ I'm totally going to buy one once I upgrade this month to the LG Voyager. I don't want to get a ticket come June when it's hands-free mandatory.

Make that 7.

Mine arrived today and is charging at the moment.

I've been using one for about a month, now. When my friend, Mike, went into the hospital in June, I had to upgrade my in-car phoning ability. My old phone, the one that wouldn't hold a charge in Disneyland, finally was replaced, the new phone uses a mini-usb port for the headset. Suckariffic. So, you're forced into a bluetooth. Tried the Motorola flip one. Cute, but crappy sound. Everyone complained that the sound quality was robotic and crackly. So, on the strength of Kevy's video, and after asking every customer I saw that was wearing one, I finally bought the Jawbone. While it's still not as good as talking directly into the phone, it's light years better than the alternatives have been. Weird thing though, if my phone is in my left pocket, and the bluetooth is on my right ear, it pops and crackles and drops out like crazy. Why would that make such a difference?

Oh, btw, I have a lovely Motorola flip bluetooth that doesn't work well with my phone, but just may with yours, available at a reduced price!

I know that because Susan dropped her phone which causes the battery to not hold a charge very well, that she is able to used her Jawbone while the phone is plugged into the charger in the back of her van (she has issues with the outlets in the front).

Now that would be funny. An entire group of swankers visiting Disneyland all wearing jawbones.... Could be the makings of a good April 1st swanking...

April Fools Fun: A Jungle Cruise boat filled with people chatting on their bluetooth to people not on the ride. Just the thing to fill the most jaded JC skipper with AP hatred.

(of course, we present him with a nice "you're a good sport, here's a Starbucks card" afterwards, or some such)

Ugh, just checked the calendar, April 1st is on a Tuesday. :(

This reminds me, I need to find my Blue Tooth and figure out how to use it. I bought it when I upgraded my phone, but it is till in the bag, in the packaging, somewhere in the mess of a house.

Or better yet, set up a conference call and have the people at the front talking to the people at the back...

I can't seem to get my jawbone to fit me right. Whomever i am talking to doesn't hear much outside noise, but I have trouble hearing anything.

And, why is it that whenever I'm talking about the device, I feel like I'm playing a game of Operation?
