  1. I've got a new Bluetooth phone. The headset was a good one if you were
    mostly just walking or sitting around. What I am wanting though is one
    I can wear while riding. What is everyone's experience and have you
    found a headset you really liked to use?

    None! Enjoy your ride and put the dang phone away. What is so
    important that you need to talk with someone on the phone while you are
    riding? It's also dangerous.

    Just riding can be dangerous.......

    but wouldn't it be nice to handle work from the seat of your bike?

    That inspires me to produce one for the masses that malfunctions when
    being jarred about too much, like when someone is riding a mountain
    bike on a trail. The malfunction would be a good jolt of electricity
    to the head of the dolt wearing it.

  5. i wish i could leave my phone at home. not all of us can just ignore
    the phone. not all of our mothers pay our rent for us. if i miss one
    phone call it could mean a lot of money, not just a job, but a whole
    account. So i must take my phone at all times. you would to if you
    needed money to pay rent. So i'm sick and tired of ppl telling me to
    leave my phone at home.
    i use a T-mobile sidekick || it comes with a leather sheeth and i clip
    it on the front of my camelback, i use the earpiece under my helmet and
    i can hear email comming in, the phone ringing and all the rest of the
    fuctions i use for my small company. and i can awnser the phone within
    a few rings every time and offer my customers same day service. Ha!
    you guys can leave your phone at home and it doesnt bother me ...

    Sorry, but that's a pathetic life to live. I am also on call 24 hours a
    day, 7 days a week. But my boss knows that if I need to turn the phone
    off for awhile, all the more power to me. And when I'm riding my phone
    is at home.

    Leave your phone at home.

    I'll admit to it. I'm on call sometimes and still want to be able to
    ride. I got the cheapest BT headset I could from buy.com and it's fine
    if I'm spinning home and need to talk. I wouldn't use it on the trail,
    but I don't see the harm in how I use it. The mic pics up a bit of wind
    noise but for the amount I use it riding it's fine. It's an IO Gear
    brand and I think it was about $30 on sale.

    and it's pretty pathetic to imply that those of us who choose to control our
    time in such a fashion that we aren't connected 24/7 aren't earning our own
    way.

    You're on call 24/7 and think his life is pathetic? That's a laugh.

    The guy runs his own company and missing a call might mean losing an
    account.

    There's a big difference between 'having a boss' and 'being the boss'.

  10. like i said... i dont care if you leave your phone at home. more power
    to you! congradulations! Personaly if given a choice of A. keeping an
    account or B. pleasing you or people like you i'm really sorry man, i
    really am... but you and people like you do not matter one bit to me
    OR my customers. i have to awnser the phone. it may *seem* like a
    "pathetic life to live" to you but ..... who are you to judge perfect
    strangers anyway?
    sorry i struck a cord with your mother paying your rent. i had no
    idea that she does. 🙂

    It's a very flexible 24/7 because my boss understands that we need lives
    beyond work and it means I have tons of freedom during the week.

    There's something wrong with his business plan if his business is going
    to fail with one missed phone call.

    Considering that you can't write properly I have a feeling that those
    calls you might miss are people calling to buy a nickel bag.

    It's moderator, but this is an unmoderated newsgroup. However, I have
    taken over duties as the Supreme Leader of A.M-B. and your posts to
    A.M-B. will be canceled on all of Usenet, except for Google Groups,
    starting in a couple of hours (it takes some time for the control
    message to propagate to the world's news servers).

    Oh yeah, there is probably a shift key on your keyboard, and I think
    Google Groups has a spell checker.

    None! Enjoy your ride and put the dang phone away. What is so
    important that you need to talk with someone on the phone while you
    are riding? It's also dangerous.

    I can't imagine seeing a written proposal by this guy. That would
    definately keep him from getting my business.
