One last question for the hive mind today: getting a new cell phone and the dude tried to get me to buy a more expensive one with bluetooth technology. For the info-neggit: what is bluetooth and why would I want it?

Wireless hands free set.



My dad has been wanting to get a Mot V710 but dragged his ass getting it and now they dont have them in stock anymore.

bluetooth is a wireless standard that allows you to communicate with a number of other devices.


usually, though, bluetooth is used with a cordless earpiece (handsfree kit). I've found it to be very useful, especially when I lived in an apt. that only got cell phone reception when the phone's right near the window. I can talk and move around, while the phone stays in the windowsill for reception.

My car, Acura TL, has a built in bluetooth, so when I am in the car I can use the steering wheel
controls and the car stereo becomes a speakerphone.

Or, you can get headsets.  All kinds of cool stuff......

It is a short-distance wireless data standard. I have a Bluetooth phone. I use it with a wireless headset. I like it a lot. I never used the old wired headsets because the wire would alwys get caught up or tangled. But I use my Bluetooth headset all the time.
