So my son decided to give me his over used iPhone. Took me a week or two to figure out how exactly it all works, but its pretty great. I gave up my old samsung flip phone for it, but the headset i use while on the road does not work. In my search for a new headset my son mentioned bluetooth....so im here asking. Ive seen a few of you out there with these things in your ears...are they worth it? Do they work good? easy to use? I noticed they have speaker phones as well, i have been eyeing this Jabra Cruiser speakerphone, just wanted some advice before i bought something i know nearly nothing about!

In Response to Does anyone actually Use Bluetooth with your phones?:

I use a blue tooth, some other phones do not come thru my phone that well, but does thru my blue tooth, I really like it, except the part that goes behind my ear does begin to hurt after a couple hours, so I just move to my other ear.

I've been using a Razor Blue Tooth with my iphone for a while and people complain they can't hear me if the phone is too far away.  The problem with iphones is they don't make a compatible Blue Tooth, so you have to go to the iphone website and see which ones they recommend until you find one that works well.
