    Well this may come as a shock, but Im probably the last person left in the free world who doesnt even own a cellphone, and I never have.

    That's not a bad thing Junction-Guy. I hate the things, but they are a necessity in my line of work (sales). When I get home from being on the road, I put the cell phone on the kitchen counter and don't touch it all weekend.

    Elsewhere,

    I have tried 4 different bluetooth devices. The Plantronics works best with my Treo, but I have been told that the voice quality is bad when I am speaking with people. I believe this is probably when the battery gets low, which is not a very long stretch of time. I am thinking of going back to a wired headset, as geeky as it looks, out of frustration with the Bluetooth headset. I don't think I will buy another one until they perfect them. Save your money.

    i personally loathe the idea of being connected wherever i go. and then having a connected device strapped to the side of my head is even less appealing. i wore one for a few days once, and my general desire was to rip it off my head and toss it into traffic. so i would vote for neither sexy or geeky. and i'm no luddite. i used to build linux clusters at home for fun.

    I vote geeky. I can't help but think of the Borg on Star Trek.

    That said, I think they should be very practical when driving. And I tend to be very practical, so there's a slim chance I may get one someday...

    They remind me of Uhura (sp?) on Startrek - with that communicator gizmo in her ear.

    Definitely geeky. No - I don't have one. I barely have a cell phone - it's one of those TracPhone phones that I pay as I go. I don't use it much. It's mainly used for keeping in touch with my wife - or when I travel (not often).

    Regards,

    Jim TX

    Ok, so you know I think geeky IS sexy, but aside from that, I think they look fine.
