That's a good point. I've been using the Jawbone with my 680 and when
I had to go back to my old 650 for a week while waiting for a
replacement 680 the Jawbone would only work every few times I tried.
With the 680 it's been almost flawless.
The device is also picky about placement on your face. The small,
white plastic nub has to be touching your (wait for it) jaw bone. If
it slips or doesn't rest there properly the noise cancellation doesn't
work. I find that I have to adjust mine a bit every 10-15 minutes,
though it's a minute adjustment so it's almost trivial.

When was the last time you bought one? My first couple of BT headsets
(2 Jabras and the Treo headset) each took a non-standard charger, but
it seems that some vendors are now being smart and matching the power
plug to something else. Motos designed to work with Moto phones match
the phone's charge plug, the Treo BT matches the Treo, Sony matches
Sony, etc. And a lot of the others, like my wife's Moto H700 has a USB
connector. Jawbone matches nothing.
I travel a lot so each device means another charge cable to carry and
if you lose it you have to buy another. Very annoying for someone
who's in three cities a week. Why can't the vendors put an ounce of
consideration for their customers into designing these things?
