			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On January 1st, a new law came in to effect in the province of  British Columbia requiring that motorists must use a hands-free device  while driving if they wish to make phone calls or else face to fine (of  somewhere around $160). So, rather than risk a ticket, I broke down and  bought a Bluetooth headset, which has ended up being a learning  experience.</p>
<p>At first I was unable to stream music over  my headset, but then I discovered that the Motorola H780 I had purchased  wasn&#8217;t A2DP compatible. I then exchanged it for a Jabra BT530 and music  streaming worked out-of-box, so I can&#8217;t blame that on the OS.</p>
<p>However,  I can blame the biggest deficiency on Android &#8211; although both headsets  support Voice Dialing, Android doesn&#8217;t allow you to Voice Dial from your  headset. You still have to pick up the phone and either manually dial  or use the handset&#8217;s built-in voice dialing, both of which will get you a  ticket if you do them while driving.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re  looking for a full-featured Bluetooth Headset for an Android phone, make  sure you pick one up that&#8217;s A2DP compatible, just don&#8217;t expect to do  anything other than listen to music and receive calls. Just don&#8217;t expect  to be able to make calls from a headset anytime soon.</p>
