Nanube Bluetooth wireless headset and health. 0 Nov 17 2008, 1:14 PM EST by Nanube

A Bluetooth wireless headset can solve a number of concerns.
Many differing studies refer to distractions while driving,hand held cell phones,text messaging,GPS, in addition to the others that have been around since driving in cars began. All of those situations require the driver taking their eyes AND hands off the wheel for different amounts of time to function.
If accurate records were kept, the percentage of accidents that occured when the driver was in the process of being distracted would be disturbing.
As it is, evidence suggests it is very significant.
A bluetiooth headset, associated with a cell phone provides the minimum distracton to answer a call.
Coupled with a voice activated cell phone, the eyes don't have to leave the road with either in coming or out going calls.

Now for the bonus.
The bluetooth wireless headset uses much less power than the corresponding cell phone and therefore much less radiation near your brain.

thaddecker Slide - Contacts question 4 Jan 22 2008, 7:59 PM EST by sidekicksupport
Thread started: Jan 3 2008, 10:00 AM EST  Watch
My daughter got a Slide for Xmas. We do not plan to subscribe to the Email/Internet feature of the phone. She does not need the additional distraction. Since we are not, each time she powers down, she loses all new contacts. Also, she is not able to utilize the existing contacts on her simm card. Can the phone be set to retrieve and use contacts from her simm card? The music and photos appear unaffected. Any ideas?
