Bluetooth Headset Roundup

Star Trek?

[MoeMoe]

I don't remember Kirk having his Phaser set to 'Outdoors' or 'Silent'

Mastercard Advert

[Hogwash McFly]

Price of new mobile phone: $400
Price of bluetooth headset: $60
The look on that chick's face as she sees you talking to yourself with what looks like a cybernetic implant in your ear: Priceless

I'm scared...

I hope people don't start talking in klingon in public while using one of these...

What I want...

[zr-rifle]

... is a bluetooth headset that doesn't make me look silly.

Cheaper hands free kit....

If you want to talk hands free when you're out and about on you mobile and you don't have the cash to spend on Bluetooth headsets, these things [pibmug.com] are ideal

To quote George Carlin:

here is a group of people that are missing chromosomes and should be hurled from an airplane at 20,000 ft. these dickheads that use these hands free phones, you know they can't be away from the phone in case Henry Kistenger calls. So I say

"Hey spaceman as long as your hands are free why don't you reach your hand over here and fondle my balls."

if you have to ask, you can't afford it....

sorry...i'm a phrase nazi.

bluetooth is INSANE! (or is it me?)

[wfmcwalter]

Bluetooth needs a new slogan:

Bluetooth: erasing the descernable difference between people with really nice cellphones and those with advanced delusional schizophrenia.

Is that person mubling behind you on the train really an important businessman, or does he just think he is? Worse, is that CIA agent who just dialled your number real, or is he just one of the voices? With bluetooth(tm) there's essentially no way to know!

Next thing you'll be thinking you're living in some kind of futuristic hi-tech paradise where people communicate with lightning-powered machines. Yeah right - you're really still back at the pigfarm on Jutland and it's still 1282. Get used to it.

Ouput power?

No figures for this anywhere. Do you need a tin foil hat to use one?

this is not possible with current technology. the way bluetooth works is by creating a localized field of ionized nerd particles, that is then used as the carrier medium for bluetooth signaling. nerd particles are generated by things such as pda's, usb data sticks, certain ringtones, linux, and watches with calculators in them, and they naturally dissipate into the atmosphere and decay into harmless forms such as boba pearls. however, bluetooth acts as a concentrator, keeping the nerd particles from collapsing and creating a short range distortion field, making thing within it seem extremely nerdy. engineers are still working on resolving this issue, although an interim solution is to have a really hot girlfriend.
