Several states have laws now which prohibit hand-held phones in cars, and many more are considering them. Bluetooth technology seems to be the answer by wirelessly transmitting the signal from the phone to your ear. My grandson saw one for the first time today and he is in LOVE with it. He borrowed someone's phone at school today, dialed the number and she gavehim the headset and just walked away with the phone. He nearly flipped out. That's cool, man.
