Surely, the use of the bluetooth remote would deplete the battery much faster than a speaker and microphone. Plus, without a keypad or display, how are you meant to program in the numbers to voice dial? |

Actually, the concept of having no speaker, display, keypad, etc... on the main phone is to make room for a larger battery and hardware to improve reception and transmission strength. That's why the base unit would be at least as large as current phones (maybe even as large as some of the slightly bigger ones like the Treo but I would think that wouldn't be necessary). Voice dialing on most newer phones allow you to speak the numbers ("Dial Four, Eight, Nine...") so I see no need for a keypad. |

Done right, the phone that everyone else sees could be no bigger than a Bluetooth headset or a pen that sits in your shirt pocket. |

Obviously, you wouldn't use such a phone to surf the web or take pictures. But that's not what I use a cell phone for anyway. I have a wireless laptop for that. |
