Like the barage and the v750, The head phone jack is in the worst possible location....Bottom Right hand corner. Seems to be by design for the purpose of forcing you into use of blue tooth. I have called Motorola many times and they act like they do not know what i am talking about. Also the sound quality tru the plug in jack is horrible on my v750. We should have the choice if we want to use a blue tooth or not
