Premium Bluetooth

Love your work!!

Way too much research for me. I agree re the bluetooth justifcation, I am in sales as well, but my excuse is I like this sort of crap, life is too short, who is to judge.....

As to the comment about paying for a handset free phone kit:

• I am in Sales, I travel over 25,000km per year
• I need to be reachable by phone all day, even weekends
• I need to be able to call from anywhere
• It is NOT safe to drive and talk on the phone at the same time - one should avoid doing serious thinking and talking on phone while driving. It is as dangerous as high limit drink driving. I'll pull over and stop driving for serious work calls - even with a handset free kit - because serious calls can mean I am using visualisation, calculation, and negotiation skills which really distract me from the road. And I may need to look at or take notes
• Even trivial calls are still distracting but not so bad with hands free.
• Using and holding a phone handset in the car is illegal. I know people who have been booked and lost points. I saw a young woman drive into another car (avoidable accident) because of the distraction effect (no serious injuries, she was lucky).

What price do you put on keeping your drivers licence and on not hurting nor killing other people? My assessment is that is an expensive area, and a handsfree phone kit reduces the risks.
Cheers

I have a wireless bluetooth ear peice - $100. Does voice dial, answers calls, call waiting, hold and reject. Plus I can use it anywhere, not just the car. Let me see, $2000 or $100? Hard choice that one! lol If I want to, the built in speaker phone works fine too when the phone is in its cradle.

Added another $100 for the ClicOn holder. So what to spend my $1800 saving on? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

You could even plug the headphone out into the aux in of the car if you have an iPhone. With a nice cradle that should work quite well.

I have several bluetooth earpeices in the drawer......don't get used, why cause their crap! Except of course if I want to walk around lookin like a stormtrooper with my com system on.
Maybe you can use the extra cash on the HG
