I went to the cingular store where i bought it and they said " Oh now it wont work with cdma phones" then they became really rude and refused to return it. I will go without a cell phone before using cingular.

I've had the same issues with the Motorola bluetooth headset as had my boss. It may be the Q in the end.

I was excited to try the Jawbone in my convertible after hearing a first hand rave review of the headset.

Today I lucked out and bought the only one in stock @ the Cingular store near my office. They didn't get a shipment and had no idea how they had one in stock.

Anyway, I hate to report that I'm having the same issues. Many times I'll initiate a call via Voice Recognition and the call will be connected for a few seconds before I realize it's connected on the handset and not on the Jawbone. Then, the phone and Jawbone will both ring, I'll hit the answer button on the Jawbone, but the audio will go to the phone and not to the Jawbone.

These things appear to be temporarily fixed by a power cycle of the Jawbone, but not for long.

Now a note about the noise cancelling, at times people tell me I might as well be speaking indoors and that it sounds great even though I'm sitting at a signal light w/ the top down. However, when I begin driving, people tell me they can hear wind noise, but it's not too bad. However, as many have complained, I can't really hear very well. I'm thinking a Jabra eargel might improve this. (Basically, it's good, but not a miracle.)

It's funny that Aliph blames this on CDMA, I was told long ago that CDMA phones would never have BT due to incompatabilities between the technologies. I'm thinking they eventually found ways to work it out, but not perfectly. This makes a lot of sense.

I also heard earlier today from a Cingular rep that Motorola BT is flaky.

Who knows, could be a lot of things, but it's very interesting to hear Aliph mention a "CDMA" version.

If I can't get things to improve via some resets and/or updates in the next couple of days, I'll be returning the Jawbone.

I have my Jawbone for about 1 week now. The standard ear loop hurts my ear and the larger one seems better, but a bit loose. The sound is loud - I can actually hear while driving with the radio on. It does disconnect from the phone sometimes after a call, but I'll live with that for now. Got mine at ecost.com with google checkout it cost me $99.

I have found that if I set the headset profile to vibrate instead of ring the problems I had between the Q and the jawbone have gone away.

FWIW, I haven't messed with voice dialing yet.

I have this one also it is pretty darn good for $30 or less.

Was that the regular Jawbone or Bluetooth Jawbone for $30?

Not sure, I was responding to someone's post on the Bluespoon AX. I think the Jawbone is like $130

Hi All!

I just got my Jawbone a few days ago and I am experiencing all the pairing problems that everyone is talking about. I will try the headset profile to vibrate and see if that fixes some of the problems.

About the crappy ear loop. I wear Oakley prescription glasses where the temples go straight back just like their sunglasses and all headset ear loops don't work. I found a forum on the Jawbone that said use the Jabra ear gel and take the loop off the headset. I couldn't find the ear gels as a pack but found a cheap Jabra C100 NON-bluetooth headset at Staples for $20 and it had 3 different sizes for the right ear and left ear so I split the cost with a friend that wears his on the left ear. They were right, the ear gel works great but I also had to turn down the volume of the headset because it was too loud. Yes I said it, IT WAS TOO LOUD; I bet no one has ever complained that their headset was too loud b4.

I was actually going to do just that, but the pairing issues were just too much to deal with so never got around to trying.
