The first shipments of Apple's iPhone Bluetooth Headset hit Apple stores today, and details about the headset and unboxing pics are surfacing already. Preliminary reports indicate good sound quality from the headset and a nice array of included extras.
The headset offers, for the most part, a fairly typical BT earpiece feature set, including the ability to answer incoming calls, end current call, ignore incoming calls, answer calls when on an existing call, etc.
Unfortunately, what's missing is any indication or information on the how to use the "single button that lets you make and receive phone calls simply and intuitively" to actually make calls. That tidbit is mentioned in the headset's product information on Apple's online store and previously led to speculation (by your's truly) that the iPhone headset might bring with it some sort of voice dialing capability to the iPhone. Instead, despite the claim on Apple's online store, there's no mention of actually making calls with the headset. Instead, the manual instructs users to make a call on their iPhone.

This is ridiculous. Why would they falsely advertise about making calls FROM the headset if it can't do it.
This is another case of Apple misleading consumers. Throw this on top of the whole browse the internet while talking on the phone thing and Apple's really crossing the f!@#ing line.
They need to be held accountable for this crap.

You may want to relax a bit.
I agree that Apple is being vague a little too often when it comes to the iPhone ... Still, there are bigger fish to fry. :)
