From what I understand, the greatest downside would be that it's illegal
to use a cellphone in an airborne GA aircraft in the USA
(Something about the signal hitting too many towers at once and screwing
with the network)

Worth checking into

I like the idea of being able to use the cell phone with the headset but $100
is
a lot unless I'm sure it's going to work well. One possible downside I
noticed
was that it uses a AAA battery. Doesn't seem like much power.

Your thoughts?
