Troubleshooting Pairing of Jawbone 2
I bought the Jawbone 2 a couple of weeks ago for use on the Motorola Q I had been using for a while. However, the process of pairing it to my device was absolutely terrible--so terrible in fact that I had to actually take it to my nearest verizon store and have them look at it.
The guy that helped me out owned a jawbone 2 himself and said he understood the pairing process, but still took almost 45 minutes.

Well, I finally upgraded my phone today, to the blackberry storm. Meaning that I need to pair my jawbone to my new phone.
I have scoured the web looking for any and all directions for pairing the device, but have come across the same thing every time.
Have the device turned off. Hold the Noise Assassin and talk buttons for 3 seconds, or until the light flashes red and white. Then use the code 0000 to access it.
I have tried this process over and over again. It will not flash red and white. The same thing happened the first time around. In fact the guy almost told me I had a defective product, until he ran through the process one more time and was able to make it flash red/white.
Does anyone here have any advice to making this work. I am on the road a lot and the jawbone has been a life saver since I got it working on my other phone. It would be a HUGE loss if I was unable to use it with this phone.
Keep in mind, my problem lies outside of my actual blackberry. I am unable to get the jawbone itself, into pairing mode (red/white)
Thank You

I had similar problems connecting the phone, I managed to get my Flip connected after 45 minutes but was unabale to connect me wifes phone. The problem is the Noise Assassin button is very small and the Talk button is located aft of the LED so when you press the Talk button the cover flexs and makes contact with the Noise Assassin very difficult.
Solution:
Use you fingernail to pry the cover off from teh aft end of the Jawbone near the Noise Assassin button and peel it carefully forward. It just clips on and off but be careful just in case. You will see small buttons on the curcuit board which you can then press per the instruction to pair and then snap the cover back on.
Even after doing this and knowing where teh buttons are I was unable to do it with the cover on, so just remove it to pair, you only need do it once.

Noise Assassin Button - Cause of Trouble
Thanks BusyMama. Peeling back the cover and hitting the circuit board buttons solved the problem. I've seen others with same problem (on other sites)... will pass along a link to your solution.
Thanks
ps
I got my JawBone at an unbelievably low price. Now I think I know why.
