For you i would suggest the Brigade, full keyboard and is quite roomy, I am looking at it myself, it is rugged, and water resistant to 3 feet. For your thing of touch screen and full keyboard look at the Env Touch. I have read it is a really nice phone, but the touch screen breaks quickly. For both of these you need the $ 10 internet plan sadly. For one that doesnt have a data plan, the cosmos. It has a slide out full keyboard, but nothing special. Ya I know it sucks… If you can convince them for the price and internet plan attempt for the Droid 2 or X the 2 has a slide out keyboard and touch screen, but the X just has a touch screen and is THIN.
jaferhassan August 30, 2011 at 6:09 am: should i get the jawbone prime, hero or thinker??
handymanforhire August 30, 2011 at 6:10 am: Awesome Review!!!!! Thank you for taking the time and effort to share this info. Having the prime, I agree totally with the noise reduction factor, most important if you are actually using it all the time. I must say their customer service is excellent as well. I am trying out the blueant to see if the voice capabilities are easier for my personal use. The battery life is something I would like to know more about. Thank you again, this is such a help!
MrLShlong August 30, 2011 at 6:15 am: This is got to be the best spot on topic vs topic and delivery of information. HI FIVE! Rock on.
metuberob August 30, 2011 at 6:38 am: wow howard, this one’s off topic but … out of curiosity how are you able to get all your phones and accessories for testing anyways? majority of these phones and gear are quite pricey. were/are you just totally rich, owner of a corporation or a very experienced cellular repair technician/sales rep so different manufacturers just send test samples to you?

Thanks for your great review!

Good comparison and very clearly stated differences.
Also what kind of USB port do the 2 have?
Cheers and thanks

lvboats August 30, 2011 at 11:58 am: Based on your excellent review I went out and bought myself a New Jawbone Prime on eBay, saying I am happy with it is a understatement my previous Bluetooth headsets were a Blue ant Z1 and recently a Blackberry HS 500 that I returned to seller. None of my other headsets didn’t even come close to this marvelous piece of technology

madmejicano August 30, 2011 at 1:40 pm: I went to Frys Electronics n purchased the Q1 for 50.00 quite impressed!
3Tabernacles August 30, 2011 at 1:56 pm: Hi Howard,
I just picked up a Q1 at Frys Electronics for $84.99. There is a newer firmware for the Q1 and I was curious if have tested the Q1 noise cancelation since the firmware upgrade?
AK410 August 30, 2011 at 2:20 pm: Thanks Howard!
Dashparr August 30, 2011 at 3:17 pm: Thanks for the video! Very informative.
phr1sk37 August 30, 2011 at 3:56 pm: Hey Howard,
Great review!
Can you tell us what the firmware version of the Q1 you tested was? I think the newer firmware has better noise cancellation but not sure how it compares to the Prime.
Holyman007 August 30, 2011 at 3:56 pm: You can turn the noise cancellation to MAX when in call on the Q1 if you’re in a very noisy environment.
qwertzwasd August 30, 2011 at 4:00 pm: So, is there any headset besides the Motorola HX1 that – when redialing last number – asks you if you would like to redial the last number on phone 1 or phone 2? “last number redial. press call button for phone 1, press either volume button and call button for phone 2″. This feature should be included in all multi-point headsets.
fwmarshall August 30, 2011 at 4:09 pm: Great video, thank to your review I just purchased my blueant q1, I love it!
soon0rlaterz August 30, 2011 at 4:15 pm: the jawbone bluetooth hurts your ears, if you have a small ears because it has a little sharp edge at end of the earloop. right next to the charger.

The blueant q1 is so smooth that you dont even know you’re wearing it. I would recommend blueant q1 blue tooth ever all of the JAwbones bluetooth. I personally think the noise canceling on the Blueant is much better then the jawbone too.
soon0rlaterz August 30, 2011 at 5:09 pm: I also use the earloops from the jawbone to fit into the blueant q1–it fits perfectly. Those jawbone earloops you can also use it on the blueant–it’s really nice. I use the “slim earloop” instead of the leather earloop, I like it so much.

The design of the BLueant q1 is so nice…way way better then the jawbone, if you put the two together the jawbone looks a like a joke. Now i have the perfect bluetooth. I try so many BT before, and the blueant q1 is the best in my opinion.
