The basic problem with the Jawbone has not been addressed by this latest idea from the manufacturer. The only way I can hear while driving is to apply constant pressure to the Jawbone with my finger to keep it seated in my ear canal. Often this results in hanging up the call, since there is no easy way to push the Jawbone into the ear without pressing the on/off switch. The Jawbone is like a see saw - when you push it into the ear it turns off the Jawbone and/or moves the Voice Activity Sensor away from your face. When you push the bottom of the Jawbone against your face to make contact with the Voice Activity Sensor, it pulls the Jawbone out of your ear. This is not a well designed product for people who use it in a car or in other mobile environments with background noise.
