It is cool looking but for the reasons above would never fly - the ergonomic one alone sinks it for me: how the hell do I find the earhole and get it on my ear without looking at it? The Treo I have now is hard enough because the hole's not a hole but a bump, and it's a normal rectangle, which kind of telegraphs which end's up. I suppose a metal barb would do the trick but just don't think I'd enjoy the permanent scab that might result. Bluetooth is the only answer to that question but there remain others ....

And where's the second half of this thought: "makes both a refined professional statement." And what? Using "both" requires the use of "and" and a second concept.
