Jawbone Icon: Good things do come in small packages

by AstainHellbring on Jul.19, 2010, under The Mobile

I’ve used tons of headsets before but never a Jawbone.  I found out that my work had a discount with Verizon and since Verizon sold the headset I figured what the hell and bought it.  To summarize – I LOVE IT!  It’s tiny and light weight.  This sucker makes ANY other Jawbone look HUGE.  Also, better than any other Jawbone – this model didnt seem to “care” at all about the fact that I shave once a week.  As many have probably noticed, previous models lost their effectiveness with the presence of stubble on the chin.  This is because the facial hair separated the sensor in the Jawbone from the jaw bone thus hindering its ability to pick up on vibrations.  Called LTxda and we definately agreed it did very well even though I didn’t shave.  The jaw sensor is greatly upgraded on this model as it’s a more pronounced nub instead of the tiny stick in the old models.  To boot they upgraded the power charger – no more proprietary cable needed.  Now its a standard micro-USB cable and its ACTUALLY USEFUL!!! There is software on the Jawbone site that you can configure the built in voices.  Specifically the way the software works and reacts.  You can change the voice dial settings and all.  As for those that are fashion sensed and focus on aethetics, the new Jawbone comes in many different designs/colors.  ~ You Want That!!!

    I love the Icon also, one issue I had with the Icon was,
    When I was helping someone move, I left the earpiece on.
    I got it wet from just sweating and this caused it to stop working. I checked online for support and reset the device, but was unable to get it work again. I was lucky that I only had the Icon for a week, I was able to return it and get another one. I am not sure if I got a defective item, but I still like it. I have not heard any one else having the same issue and this may be common cents but, be careful not to get to much sweat on the Icon. I am not going to test this theory again but if anyone has the time and the money,feel free to test it and let everyone know. =)
