Can I buy a Jawbone bluetooth from ebay verses Alltel phone company and still have it work good?

Jul 13, 2008 by innaviog32 | Posted in Cell Phones & Plans

I want to buy a jawbone bluetooth headset on ebay, but 2 things. How does the development work with my phone when I buy online to the phone company? Secondly, I do not have a Bluetooth phone, but rather a normal cell, it will work with this phone or do I need a Bluetooth cell phone?

All Bluetooth headset work with any Bluetooth cell. The trouble for you is that you do not have a Bluetooth phone, but you can buy a Bluetooth adapter, you can buy at Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City, other electronics stores like, or your best bet on the Web. You can do it or get only a compatible Bluetooth phone. But if you do receive an Alltel phone that is compatible with Bluetooth, you can use any Bluetooth headset either online or from Alltel.

Home Audio Systems That Go to '11'

Not Bad: Wireless Speakers

Good luck getting the party started with that tinny old iPod dock. For serious sound, experts suggest streaming tunes from a laptop or other music source to wireless speakers. Cordless options include the $200 Jawbone Jambox (one caveat: it requires Bluetooth-enabled tech) and the Arcam rCube ($800). Wireless speakers are best for just a couple of rooms though; many must be within 150 feet of the music source.

Getting Fancy Now: Distributed Audio

Getting the whole house rocking requires a more holistic approach. A multizone distributed audio system can put users in control of the music in every room of the home -- letting them blast Sting in the kitchen, while folks in the living room bob their heads to Yanni. Equipment and professional installation typically start at around $6,000 for a six-room house.

Life-Changing: Home Automation

Someday, of course, you'll be able to control not just your music but the whole house -- lights, drapes, temperature -- with a single all-powerful remote. Oh, wait -- turns out, you already can. Home-automation systems, which let users manipulate their entire home with a single controller, start at about $5,000 and can hit six figures, according to AMX, a Texas-based company that makes them. The firm, like some others, can also store music in the "cloud," letting you access your

Noise, what noise? Introducing the Jawbone Bluetooth Headset | The ...

by mikelwilson

It was time this month to look for a noise cancelling headset that would allow me to continue to hold productive business conversations while driving, walking near traffic, near construction/building sites, near noisy air conditioning units and while looking after my 7 month old son. I also wanted something that I could wear whilst at the gym to listen to my podcasts and music as well as taking telephone calls while I’m on the treadmill.

I needed noise cancellation in my life. Something which could take away the sounds of road traffic, air conditioners, screaming kids and building sites. What could be better than military technology, designed by DARPA to aid front line battlefield communication between infantry units in the midst of a war zone?

A war zone. I imagine helicopter-rotor noise and gunfire… But can it handle screening out a busy office worker’s life noise, or my hungry 7 month old baby?

It arrived this morning, so here’s my review of Aliph’s Jawbone Bluetooth Headset:

What’s in the box?

The Jawbone (with earpiece and ear hook pre fitted)

Instruction materials

USB Charging cable and power plug adaptor

Four ear loops (standard and large, one for each ear)

Five ear buds (two round, three lipped)

 

Suspiciously missing from the package was a carry case, box or bag to store the Jawbone when not in use.

The box design is amazing. Even better than the new iPod Nano box. The Jawbone is held in place by a plinth like some a trophy piece in a museum or an award. The packaging design suggested good things to come.
