well, you don’t have to do any fancy testing, just plain and simple standing or walking in a slight head wind and ask the recipient if he or she can hear the wind and if he or she can hear you loud and clear.

In the case of the old Jawbone, it was impossible to conduct a conversation in headwind, period…

Looking forward to hear about your results.

cheers,

Thanks. Before they said there was something with Verizon they had to compensate for. Apparently they dont need to do it again, because Jawbone just wrote back and said there is no issue.

We’ll be testing in breezy conditions, Peter. I’m going to take the top off my car and drive around for testing.

jc, I can’t understand why this device wouldn’t work with any standard Bluetooth phone, regardless of carrier. I’ve already paired it with my MacBook. I don’t have a Verizon phone to test with, but I’ll check with a neighbor; I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. There may be an exclusivity deal with AT&T on distribution for now, but again, this should work with most any BT phone.

Would this version work just as well with Verizon? I see it’s only being sold in ATT stores. I think when the earlier one came out, Jawbone told me it would not work as well with Verizon and for me to wait until that version came out. I did buy it when it started to be sold in Verizon stores. Do you think that would still be the case with this one? I have a message into Jawbone support.

The last Jawbone has some good noise cancelling I´ll give it that, but…there is always a but…the lack of handling even the slightest breeze of wind made my Jawbone useless when I’m outdoors. But once inside say a subway station the Jawbone rocks…but only then.

If you could give as an honest real life test on how the new Jawbone handle wind I would be extremely happy.

Would be nice if these headsets also were stereo, like the Plantronics 855.

I traded my BlueAnt in for a Jawbone via the CES promotion. Audio quality has been good, but the device is bulky. This new one looks good. BUT it doesn’t look like it pairs with multiple devices simultaneously – a definite downer for power users. I want to toggle between Mac Skype and handset. $130 is a lot…

Would you believe that UPS dropped off the new Jawbone 10 minutes after my post? If I knew that writing about a product makes it magically appear, I might have written about an Apple Tablet or uber-powerful UMPC that works for a week on a single charge. ;)

I love my Jawbone but this smaller one looks really sweet.

Have to agree with you on the sound quality! I only hope that this model handles the wind much better than the old model. My only complaint is that I might as well use the handset if the wind is over 5 mph. Look forward to your review!
