Hmmm... some self conscious folks I see.
I used to think something similar when they first came out. However once I changed carriers and received it with my new phone it became a nessesity.
I do not know how busy you are in your daily lives, but I will give you some advantages in mine.
I am always busy. You never know how long a call's going to take. So there are times where I am in my office, and then on the shitter, then have to take off for a meeting, or errand. Or just driving. I am on the road, and I do not want to be fumbling around trying to hold a handset, or going, "huh" over and over when on speaker. I know they were trying to pass a law here in Michigan some time ago that you had to have a cell that was either bluetooth, or speaker mounted phone so that you could keep your hands on the wheel. Which I personally think is a good idea. Especially in the winter.
So for me, while I get the looks from time to time when I walk in somewhere with it on. Or I am talking on it and people think I am talking to them. What the fuck do I care what some fucking stranger thinks?
So some stranger in the mailbox place, mall, or gas station who I will never see again thinks I look like George Jetson... or some dumbass hick doesn't see it on my ear at the moment, and thinks I am calling him an asshat. Once they see it. They forget they are an idiot.
I like the freedom to have my hand's free. I had always hated talking on my cell in the past to begin with. However with the bluetooth, I actually had to up my plan because I do not mind it so much now that I have the blue tooth, and can wander from my office, to house, outside, mall, car, whatever and continue talking while keeping my hand's free to shovel snow, and carry in groceries.
