So there are a couple of big complaints about Aliph's otherwise-lauded
Jawbone noise canceling Bluetooth headset: one, it's rather porky, and two, the charge connector is about as reliable as a Comcast installation appointment. Hang tight, though, because help is on the way -- help in the form of the Jawbone 2. The new model just broke through the FCC's surly bonds in full visual glory, showing a headset that maintains the distinctive industrial design of the original while getting just a bit smaller and adopting a new connector that looks moderately less sketchy. The last thing we all want to do is blow another hundred on the next best headset, but if this means we can run a teleconference standing next to a freight train traveling 40 miles per hour and do it in style, count us in.

its good to see the top dog of bluetooth headsets back i would like to see the black version to this though this silver is not very attractive.
Any word on a car charger for either the original jawbone or this new version?
just get a usb cigarette lighter adapter and use the included charger.
"as reliable as a Comcast installation appointment"
LMAO!
Hopefully there is a new ear piece design as that was the other big problem.
i haven't had any problems with my charger although i do agree with @petero in that i hope they fix the “fit” of the ear pieces. none of them fit quite right. this one looks better too, i’ll definitely buy it.
I like the scummy rulers!
Can't wait until this comes out!
In other news, the FCC really needs to clean their photo surface... nasty
That comcast install joke did have me laughing too. So true.
My version 1 Jawbone and my Motorola Q have never worked very well together (see details on EverythingQ.com), some kind of pairing issue. I don't know if this is a Moto/MS Mobile 5 issue or a Jawbone issue but, I am crossing my fingers that the Jawbone 2 is better.
