I use a wired earpiece in the car so I can keep my hands on the wheel when I
drive.  I've used it while running out of the car to get something & keep my
hands free.  It's nice to be able to do something & not have to wait for the
call to finish.

BT would mean I don't have that pesky wire hanging around.  I could see BT
headphones being useful instead of wired when I'm doing yardwork, mountain
biking and motorcycling.

I have something on the motorcycle called a Chatterbox.  It's an FRS radio
with a PTT and VOX microphone.  It's very useful when riding to communicate
to your riding partners.  It'd be nice to eliminate those pesky wires,
especially when I'm riding off road.

I could see it in a remote data center.  The tech in the center has the
BT/phone while using tools as someone else is talking them though it.

Of course, it can get out of hand.

A true geek doesn't care what the hell others think about how silly they
look. :-)
