I agree, unfortunately I'm stuck with my Jawbone (30 days have passed and I purchased from an AT&T store). Anyway, my gripe with this thing is that it cannot maintain a clear connection between my phone and the ear piece. I assume that the purpose of a HANDS FREE unit is to not have to hold it. So of course when using the Jawbone I put the phone in my pocket...when I do that, the audio breaks up hardcore. My girlfriend says it sounds like I'm underwater. AMAZING. Whoo hoo, $120 digital crap distortion. Just what I ordered. If the phone is 3 inches from the Jawbone, it sounds amazing...if its a little further, it breaks up like hell. I'm a tall guy, but I dont think that the distance from my ear to my pants pocket is THAT far... Does anyone else have this crackly audio issue? (I had a blackberry 8300 prior to the iphone, and it behaved the same exact way...so its the Jawbone, not the phones)
