I want a bluetooth earpiece like Uhura's.

And a miniskirt.
And go-go boots.
And eyeliner.

Yes, Yes, YES! And a big snog from a young William Shatner.

Actually - I'm surprised some TrekGeek hasn't had one made.

So am I! and while theyre at it, could they please write a wee application for the Motorola Razr phone so it makes the Tricorder 'bleep' when opened! how geekycool would that be?!

I'm the wrong person to make that kind of remark to.

Salesdroid: "Have you seen my cell phone?"
Alice: "Was it small, loud and flushable?"

LOL! My phone never leaves me. It even comes to bed with me. However it's always on silent/vibrate only mode.

Mine is OFF the vast majority of the time. It's only turned on when I am placing a call, or have specifically asked someone to call me on that number. I'm keeping my little "outdated" Nokia brick as long as I can, because I just HATE all the current models. I'm appalled to see useful features - like analog cellular - vanishing while the phones get loaded up with a stunning array of trivial "features."

(I don't know about NZ, but HUGE areas of the US only have analog celluar coverage; digital is almost wholly restricted to urban areas and major highways. This is why the OnStar system General Motors created runs on analog cellular.)

Of course, you have to realize I live in Shallow Central where people think it actually makes a difference what cell phone they're seen using. What prats, what idiotic self-absorbed fools.

Mine is my primary telephone, and like any landline it stays on all the time- and like a landline, I choose when to answer and when not to. Hence why its on silent at all times- it never interrupts what I'm doing unless I want to be interrupted. Only I know when it rings.

GSM digital coverage is ubiquitous in NZ, so theres no reason to choose any one phone above another.

My chief priority when choosing a phone is related to the fact that its always in my pocket: I need simple, rugged, and slim. It needs to do voice and SMS with predictive input, it needs to have an alarm clock, a simple calendar/reminder system, and it needs a decent phonebook. Every feature above those is a minus point to me. Hence my Nokia 8250. Tiny, old, 'feature'less, and discreete. I'll be screwed when it comes time to replace it, all the new phones are too flimsy or bulky.

My former boss razzed me hard the first 2 weeks I wore my Jabra Bt250 bluetooth Borg implant. He called me a trekkie. The funny thing is that he bought his own two weeks later. * Except his wasn't bluetooth. It required the beltcliped transmitter.

Did you ever see the SNL skit which had The Wrath of Farrakahn? Lt. Uhura had a sack lunch under her desk.......

Wrath of Farrakahn

You are right. A buddy pointed that out to me the next day after posting this several days ago.

Buy two sizes of nylon washers, stack them on a lightweight bolt, spray it silver, and epoxy it to a bluetooth headset. Viola!
