Cool. I assumed that was the jaw-mic as it's nowhere near the mouth, but I'm glad to hear it's the mouth one! Look forward to hearing more as it happens. I think I'm somewhere up there near the top of the pre-order list
One question - will this be soft-upgradeable to work with the jaw or will that be a new model (sorry to bring this up, I know everyone will expect a free upgrade
)

lor > thank You
Adam > most of the bluetooth headsets can be upgraded, this one too.
The Jawbone-model is a different design, specially the back-piece which has the built in microphone. Thats quite different from this production-model.
The jawbone-model will come along later, and there might also be a version with double-microphone.
This would be very efficient if users are in very noisy areas,..e.g. a building-site.
But for "ordinary" users the model with external microphone, will be more than enough.
So people wont really need to spend the xtra money on the double-microphone version.
There are no release-dates/months on the double-microphone version or the jawbone-version yet.
Doing a lot of tests at the moment.

No, the Bluespoon will not be more expensive than Ericssons headsets
******************************
UPDATE ON BLUESPOON :
******************************
Meeting on monday at 10 am.
I just spoke to my CEO about Bluespoon. He will be going to a bluetooth-show in Japan on the 14.4.2002.
We (Nextlink) have all materials at home now, the covers are being produced right now.
Production is up and running smoothly.
The only thing we need now, is the bluetooth-module !!!!
They simply cannot deliever the new module.
Other companies are experiencing similar delays,..e.g. Nokia and Compaq.
We are all awaiting the bluetooth-module.
Some countries get these before others, I know that Compaq can only deliever few 3870 models,..the next shipment is in May
Nokia's headset wont be out untill May either, and we will be out with Bluespoon at approx. the same time. Hopefully before !
We were promised the modules in December 2001,..soooo we are a "bit upset" by now !!!!
We do have the "old module", but the standard on this simply isnt good enough.
An example is the Talk-time on this old one, Its is only 1HOUR !!
We would be "pissing" on people, if we gave them this one.
We want people to be able to speak up till 8 hours,..and that requires the new module.
The new module have some other advantages as well.
I believe that the delay on these bluetooth-modules, are caused by a lot of companies, that "suddenly" needs them.
It's really annoying,..we have all the other components, e.g. batteries, microphones, speakers,..and casings are being produced.
We are "on schedule", testing went great, production is up and running,...nothing has gone wrong,...untill now,..GGGRRRRR.
Of course it has to be the most important part in the construction that cant be delievered,..hehe,..arent we just lucky, NOT
As someone said earlier,..think it was DECOY, he said "you will always be delayed"
Yeahh Mate
"unfortunately" You were right.
Well, I'm going to the meeting on monday. Hope I'll have some "positive" information to tell you guys and girls, when I get back.
Jan
Thats why we will be delayed

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the update - nice to know what's going on. It must be so frustrating (and costly) waiting for the bt modules to arrive. Hope it's soon. However I quite agree it's better to wait than to launch an inferior product. 1 hour talk time is hardly even usable!

Adam > Yeah its very frustrating, and yes, its costly as well.
Its even more frustrating, because everything else is going according to plan,..its up and working. And it actually looked like, that we could deliever on time.
And the only little "thing" that needs to arrive, is "of course" the most important thing of all, you cant get it anywhere else.
Dont know if I should laugh or cry.
Theres not one thing we can do about it.
We can just sit and wait,..thats very frustrating.
The worst thing is, that people really wants this headset so much,..lots of pre-orders, from private persons and companies.
The only good thing is, that most of the other
headset-makers are releasing their headset in May/june as well.

jan,
do you mean that the Jawbone-model will be smaller than the current bluespoon production model, since the current model still has the silver microphone part???

MCastro > Hmm,..yeah, well the silver production-model is so small anyway.
Its not even the size of your ear
But when the jawbone-model goes into production, it will probably have a slightly different design, and will not have the microphone-part,..it will look like a spoon, without the handle
So it will be slightly shorter in lenght.
But we still dont know when this model will come.
The version with double-microphone (for noisy enviroments) will probably be out before the jawbone model.
Right now our focus is on the silver production-model.
I just got a new picture of the production-model, where its shown from a different angle.
I'll post the picture later
