hey special friend, i got my 5300 waiting for me at home right now, i just had a question for you, can i wear the headset w/ mic that comes with the phone and listen to music and when a call comes it mutes it? if so, whats the point of the standard headphones that come with it? or do i need to buy some of those fancy bluetooth headphones w/mic to get that ability, if thats the case do you know if you could get the blue ant headphones cheaper than 79.99? or do you advise a different headset? im basically looking for headset to do it all, talk on the phone and listen to music, let me know my best route for this, thanks!

Yes, you should be able to answer a phone call with the included headset. However, those earbuds don't provide the greatest sound quality. If you really want to get the most out of it, I would suggest a purchasing a Bluetooth Stereo headset. The Blue Ant headsets are cool, but I've never listened to them and the only drawback is the fact that you have to plug in the mic when you want to use it. The best Bluetooth headset I have tried would be the Motorola Bluetooth Stereo headset. I don't know the exact model number, but I can get it for you. They are sold at Best Buy I think for $99.99. The best part is, the mic is built into the headset, so you don't have to worry about plugging in the mic when you want to talk on the phone. If you want the Blue Ant ones, I could probably get you a better deal on them. I will find out today for you and let you know.

cool thanks! i will have to check out the bestbuy one tho, at least i can return it easy enough if i dont like it

Yep, those are the one's! They sound great! And they have re-chargeable batteries which you just plug into the wall. And if you want the Blue ant ones I could probably get you about $10-$15 off. But seeing as how Best Buy has the Motorola one for $79.99, you might as well get that one instead!

[A SpecialFriend]

Oh, also. I just found out today, for all you T-Mobile users. They now have an UNLIMITED Text package for $9.99. Saves you $5 off the standard price. Call customer care and have them add it on for you, and if your about to go over your text's have them back date the package for you to the beginning of your billing cycle!

[namehater]

hehe, i love tmobile for back dating their package upgrades, couldnt begin to tell ya how much we have saved from that!

Well I currently have a old LG VX6100. Its been dying slowly over the past few months. I am looking to swithc from US Cellular to Verizon. I am looking at getting the Orange Env for myself and a Chocolate for the wife. I am open to any phones and providers at this point. Both phones are music, gps mapping capable and a have a few other goodies. Any suggestions???

I could care less if that thing made breakfast for you in the morning $500+
is a little steep for a phone, besides I know of a few people who would like to strangle the At&t people for the lack of customer service and support.

The nice thing about the iPhone is you don't have to deal with AT&T they refuse to support them. You have to take your phone to an apple store to get it fixed.

Wow. I'm no Apple supporter really. Heck, I don't support anything. But the guy in that article strikes me as kinda whiny. He's an early adopter, yet he complains...? He had a network issue where he had to reset his phone by removing the battery last week. Now this more serious issue. But I mean, getting your new phone back, fully functional in only 3 days is not really a problem, is it? I would kinda expect stuff like that in the early stages of a product's lifecycle. There are tons of people here who wish M$ would send back their 360's in 3 days!

AT&T is just another monster company, ala EA, who doesn't have the need/desire to really look after their customers or employees. I personally think Apple made a huge mistake getting in bed with them for so long...
but everyone's probably better off with Apple servicing them. In the long run, it'll save lives.
