I have a novel idea, how about waiting until your car is stopped so you can do this safely instead of endangering yourself & everyone on the road around you??

I agree, for the moment that appears to be the only prudent option for some people with this phone. I just think that after all the hype and anticipation, it's just pretty frustrating to be derailed by something as basic as this. The hope in buying a high end phone is that it will be able to do basic things like hang up under what are commonly accepted as normal usage conditions.

There are a lot of smart people around here whose talents could probably be put to use in solving the issue. We're just trying to get some help with that.

Not trying to bait anyone or get myself flamed, it just seems like this particular problem is being discounted by most people, either because they don't have the problem, or because they wouldn't be caught dead wearing a BT headset in the first place.

I gave up on BT headset for any windows phone. I have a Blueant BT speaker in my car that's really of no use along with a Plantronic, and jawbone 1. Luckily the speaker on the TP2 is great so I just leave it on the dash board in speaker mode when on a call. No complaints on the other end compared to when I'm using any type of BT device.

That is a novel idea.

I propose we boycott drive-thru restaurants as well. Maybe even start a petition to ban radios from cars. Way to much stuff that could possibly distract a driver now a days.

At least if we had a working hands-free device for our phones we could use both hands to drive. I've never seen anybody eat McDonalds hands free. Just my $ 0.02
