The other issue is the technical design of this headset, which fits in the ear comfortably but does not offer electronic noise cancellation, which goes a long way toward making cell phone conversations more audible. At $179 (after rebate with the usual, odious 2-year contract), this is a fairly expensive headset: It should have better sound.
Another serious issue is battery life: Unless you're careful to shut it off, the Bluetooth headset will run down in a couple of hours, long before the phone gives out. Nor does the headset seem to recharge itself from the phone's battery unless the whole unit is plugged into a wall outlet.
All of these make the Decoy a handsome but ultimately flawed offering for people who do a lot of hands-free gabbing. For occasional hands-free use, the Decoy is a better choice. It's a lot easier to remember one phone than a phone and a Bluetooth headset, and having one available could make life a bit safer when you absolutely need to make a call behind the wheel.
