My Jawbone works beautifully with my Q so far. I have a very "clean" MOL3 phone with Verizon. Very little installed, recent hard reset, and no problems. I haven't made a lot of back to back calls so maybe there's something to that - I don't know - but in general I don't see the problems others are reporting at all. I love my Jawbone.

I don't understand the post above about Jawbone releasing a GSM compatible headset this month. It's a bluetooth headset that works with GSM and CDMA phones. In fact I had to buy my Jawbone from a Cingular dealer, and Cingular is a GSM carrier. Perhaps the poster meant "CDMA", but I've used the Jawbone with several CDMA phones and it works great (Motorola E815, Moto Q and Verizon XV6700). The issue with Bluetooth and CDMA not playing nice is a very old story with some of the early Motorola implementations of Bluetooth, namely on the 270C (an old Timeport model, I believe?). Supposedly there were issues of interference between the phone signals and the Bluetooth signals, but that hasn't been a problem for years now.

That said, Motorola has always had "weird" bluetooth implementations that have been somewhat buggy when used with non-Motorola headsets and accessories. So it is possible that at times the Q and the Jawbone (or even other headsets) won't play nice. If Aliph can find a way to code around that in a new headset that still makes their products with with the majority of other phones, then more power to them!
