Back last year, I saw an ad for these Beartooth thingies. They link to your cellphone through Bluetooth and supposedly let you communicate over miles where there is no cell service. They work on 900 MHz ISM frequencies. In a moment of weakness, I paid for a pair. They were supposed to begin shipping in December. Sometime in January, I got an email from them saying that production had been delayed due to a redesign, but that the units would be even better then originally intended. Shipments were to begin in March. March comes along and I get another email telling me that prototypes are being tested and production should begin soon. April, I get another email saying that production has begun. They are shipping 1K a week and those who bought early should get theirs first. It is now mid June and I still don't have mine. At this point, I would rather have my money back than the Beartooth. There aren't too many places where cellphones don't work, and besides, I don't think my dear wife would go to the trouble of digging the thing out and connecting to her phone anyway. So, has anyone here actually gotten one of these things, or should I chalk this up to an expensive learning experience?
