Hands-free advice

For those who are interested in getting a bluetooth headset (to comply with new CA laws), I have some advice. Read reviews before you buy anything! Picking one can be a real crap shoot. Even from the most respected manufacturers, there is no consistency and performance varies greatly from model to model. Spending more does not necessarily mean getting a better product. If you don't do your research, you could easily get stuck with an expensive piece that sucks.
I highly recommend the Jabra BT8010. I have tried several headsets in the past and, after a few months of usage, I can say without a doubt this is by far the best. It is also very affordable ($50) at Fry's. Here is a list of features:
•10hr talk time!
•Bluetooth 2.0
•OLED display for caller ID
•built in phone book
•vibrating alert
•jog wheel for easy control
•connects to two devices simultaneously (great if you have 2 phones like me)
•30ft range
•comes with second ear piece for stereo music (quickly connects to main ear piece via short cable)
•great sound quality for talk or music

This is the most feature packed piece I have seen yet and it does it all very well. It is easily worth twice the price.
