Question Bluetooth recommendations

Starting July 1st, it'll be against the law in California to talk on a cell phone w/o a headset. So I figure I should get one.

Any recommendations?

I have already set aside money for up and coming tickets. I refuse to walk around with something growing out of the side of my head. I am also looking for something but for now I will dial and lay the phone on my lap on speaker. Like the seat belt law I was in the thousands before I realized they were serious. I am sure to follow the same road on this one.

It gets to the point where you don't know the difference between the lunatics talking to themselves or some hallucination and people on a cell phone...it's very disturbing.

what is the difference with having something coming out of your ear or a phone glued to the side of your face?

I guess I could have been more clear, I don't want to have to attach anything to my head including my ear. I found out today that johnny law is out in force writing tickets for using your phone. I need to do something fast. today I would just hit speaker on my phone and talk with it laying in my lap. I need to find something.

well i do believe you can get something that links it to your visor...anyway...why not headphones? don't you ever listen to music using headphones? also, do you need to make a phone call that badly while you are driving? i am sure you are in the car for at most 1.5 hrs a day...should be able to go without

speeding is against the law too and i do that all the time...i text and drive, talk and drive...its hard for a cop to see you on the phone unless he's right behind you or to the side...and if ur dumb enough to do it in front of them u deserve a ticket

it is funny that it took california this long to implement such a law...seeing they were the first in the usa to ban smoking, what took them so long to do this? other states were ahead of them in this regard...hell...even south korea had a ban of phone use while driving back like 3.5 years ago...and south korea has more mobile phone use per capita than usa has

I am in northern cali and its nothing for them to hide and watch you drive by whille on the phone. Its not busy highways Interstate 5 is about as big as it gets. lol. Cops around here set people up all the time. Its small town BS and I saw people pulled over today. I even noticed the CHP had some bikes out. So call it dumb but its a lot different game up North.
