do you iFags know of anyone that rates these for Android phones? You know, the phones that are now outselling the iPuds?

Couldn't get Q1 to dial any number from Favorites on iPhone 3G. Maybe on the 3Gs. Could you verify your statement?

Why is it when I search for "hands free" there is always a "then push the button" in the document I find. I want/need a truly hands free solution. With my RAZR and Motorola headset I had "magic word" capability. Cut down on my standby time, but I didn't care. I could say "magic word" (whatever it might be) and then hear a beep and then say call home or some such. IF I HAVE TO TOUCH ANYTHING IT IS NOT HANDS FREE!

I wanted a Q1 for Christmas because of the A2DP update. So when I received it, I promptly paired it with my IPHONE 3GS and was disappointed that the device had an earlier firmware.

So I registered the device, downloaded the software, found a Windows Laptop (I am a Mac User and they don't have a Mac Update, go figure) and tried to update no joy. It said that is couldn't open the USB device.

So I left it be for a couple of weeks and just used the head set as it was. It worked fine until one day it just died.

I returned it to AT&T yesterday (January 24, 2010) and they gave me another one. Again I paired this one with my IPHONE and again the same old firmware.

So this time I tried it again. No Joy. So I went back to Blueant's web site and now they have a new updater, so I downloaded that one, uninstalled the old one and ran the updater again. Still no joy. The error message was the same, can't open the USB device.

Now I go and look for another computer, and a friend of mine lets me use his XP laptop and I install the updater on there and try again. Same issue.

Now I am frustrated. I get Blueant tech support on the phone, they tell me they don't know what to do. I asked if I can ship my unit to them and then they can ship one that has the new firmware.

They say NO, your product is not defective. Well that might be true in a way, but I wanted the product for the A2DP feature so I have a product that is not only not what I wanted but it does not have the ability to be flashed.

If you are looking for this as a solution, pass it by.

This web site is actually quite sophisticated, but for some reason it does not display properly when trying to view on my Nintendo Wii. If it helps, the console uses the Opera browser and am forced to using the console for accessing the Internet whilst my PC is away being repaired.

Can you use the Bluetooth Q1 with both the iPhone AND a Macbook at the same time?

Hi Chris,

I have the same problems. You may find interesting that MANY others have tried several earphones with no luck. I myself have bought a Plantronics and still facing problems. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1804116

PLEASE post back and say if the BlueAnt helped.

Looking forward to your reply !!

Ok ive orderd my BlueAnt from USA. cant wait its so dangerous trying to use a crackly earphone while driving, I told them in the shop when I bought the iphone I used it a lot with my Bluetooth earphone while driving I cant understand why they didn’t tell me the iphones not very good with Bluetooth headsets, I only bought the phone 10 days ago so its not to late to take it back but now I will wait for the BlueAnt which will take me over the return period and if its still no good I will go and smash the iphone (and £300 worth of accessories I have bought for it) in the shop where I bought it from in front of all the staff and buy the new touch screen sony ericsson that I was going to buy in the first place.

I was excited about the new iPhone update with bluetooth voice controls. But was never able to get it to work on my second gen JawBone. I'm I missing something?

The Q1 is AWESOME! I didn't pay $109 though. I paid $49 from cellphoneshop.net. Takes about 7 days to ship from Hong Kong. Comes in a simple white box will all accessories included. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

The speaker part seperated from the body of the headset, obviously a manufacturer issue

Obviously an abuse issue. If not by you, then by the prior owner.

BlueAnts customer service is CRAP!!! My Q1 broke and because I bought it on eBay they wouldnt do anything about it. The speaker part seperated from the body of the headset, obviously a manufacturer issue but yet they wouldnt honor any type of warranty. I would stay away from this headset.

I take it back, it works, the phone has to be locked before voice control will work by pressing the button on my bluetooth headset

I wish Apple would make another attempt at its Bluetooth earpiece. I really liked the design, but read that it didn't work very well and was discontinued. I hate these ear loops that the rest all seem to have.
