can anyone recommend a decent online site that sells cheapish cell phone batteries? mine's on the verge of death and I don't know how much longer she'll hold out. I tried a place called lowcostbatteries.com but they didn't appear to receive my order. fuckers. i'd like a replacement for my krzr k1m for under $20....if you know a reputable online shop then holla.

I checked the radio shack website but they only seem to have the same $40 battery that best buy carries -- haven't tried batteries plus though.

Yeah, I read the reviews. It looks promising. Seems pricey, and I don't use my current Plantronics headset all that much. Plus, I haven't had any problems with mine. So, maybe I'll skip out on the Jawbone2.

I got a jawbone recently and it's pretty amazing.
I was driving about 70+ with my windows half way down and the radio on and talking to my dad and he could hear me just fine.
Though the 1st set I got died within 2 weeks of me getting it and I had to send it back for a warranty exchange and the 2nd set I have doesn't seem to work quite as well.

Word on the "streets" (aka Interweb) is that Virgin Mobile USA is going to buy Helio off SK Telecom.

I just got the V.2 Jawbone and people say that it sounds like I am in a tunnel or on speakerphone when I use the noise assassin feature. My mom could still hear the stereo in my car, but said it wasn't too bad. The volume is a little on the soft side even at the highest setting. Going to try some eargels and see if it helps. I'm not using the earloop.

I would still be using my Moto H375 BT headset, but I lost it. The range on it was incredible. Sometimes I would go upstairs into the house and forget the phone in the car and my connection wouldn't start to get fuzzy until I was about 50 feet away! Range on the Jawbone is significantly lower about 15 feet), but I don't know if it's the headset or my phone that shortened my range.

I've been pretty happy with a Plantronics BT headset I bought a couple years ago.
