How much? My bet: $300. Jabra: $19 at best buy.

The only time Infiniti has ever been anywhere on my PC was ~6 months ago, and that was just looking up a single part for a friend on a program that's dedicated to our one of our wholesalers (ie: not IE).

Seriously? That's freakin' lame. With the energy you spent slapping your logos on a preexisting product, you could have used that effort to make something sweet... like BMW-branded contraception. Or perhaps BMW-brand popcorn, for the BMW driver who is simply too damned good to eat that crap they serve at theaters. B) Why the hell was there an Infiniti ad underneath this story on the main page??? Seriously? An Infinit ad on a BMW website? Horatiu, I'm looking in your direction on this one... http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e163/Deviate_3s/infinitiBMWBLOG.jpg C) Bluetooth headsets are just ridiculous to begin with. Nobody really uses them anymore, truthfully. I think everyone finally realized that they looked like idiots, plus they get stuck wearing some stupid earpiece all damn day waiting for <i>that one</i> uber-important phone call. A) WTF, BMW?

I can get one from Sony Ericsson for my phone. Furthermore, BMW will probably charge you a fortune for this thing - so why bother? Just because it is a BMW product??? It just doesn't make sense. It'd be a different story if it was connected to the car somehow. Also, I find these things terribly uncomfortable! I'd rather turn on the phone loud speakers and hold it with one hand. It's like BMW producing those pointless music CDs. Why woul I listen to music sold by BMW??? just doesn't make sense.
