Hey Curtis! Good to see you around! I can only imagine what you're driving these days.

Let me know how you like the Jawbone. I think I might just be delaying the inevitable $130 expenditure. :shakehead:

What are you pairing it with? That's a whole other isssue; what will it pair well with? I'm currently using an HTC Mogul. The BT on it kind of sucks but that's my phone until I switch, possibly to an Instinct.

Kevin,

I just received via UPS. Packaging is very nice and well thought out. Pretty straight forward. They give you extra ear pieces for the best fit to your ear. Small unit and very light. Two button operation that seems easy. Pairing up to an iPhone was/is very easy. I made a few calls to my office and I can hear them well and they say my voice is pretty good. They could tell I was on a headset. All in all, after four phone calls and 15 minutes I say I like it:D

I couldn't find them at any local retailer so I ordered from them direct. They shipped same day UPS Ground and I received today. Total cost for us CA residents is $140.06 (free ground shipping).

BTW, I'm still around but mostly lurking these days!

If you still had your X5, you could have handsfree via the car's BT. :)

I have the BlueAnt Z9 and I like it. Price vs. performance, it's a good buy. But it's all personal preference.

It's a $700 retrofit kit for the X5 versus something less than $100 for an aftermarket device such as this => http://www.store.motorola.com/mot/en...tProductDetail

This looks interesting, but I would prefer the headset to sit closer to the driver side.

Depends on the year X5. My 2005 has it built-in. Turn on car, connect BT automatically. Sweet. :thumbup:
