I have a razr v3, bought a bluetooth headset, but found that it is
inconvenient to put on and take off while driving. My eye glasses gets
tangled with the ear loop.

Is there another kind of hands free bluetooth headset that can be put on and
remove quickly with one hand?

New law prohibits holding the cellphone while driving.

You don't mention which one you have but there are many models from
Motorola, Jabra, Plantronics and others. One is sure to meet your needs.
Stop by a place like Best Buy and check out the displays. They often
have samples so you can try it in the store.

There are little ear buds that don't loop over the ear.
There are the Jabra headsets, much bulkier behind the ear, but less likely
to get tangled.
There is the Sennheiser VMX100, which is so light I leave it on all the
time in the car.

You didn't say what make/model headset you have...that might help.

I wear glasses and use a Motorola HS850 BT Headset. Have never had any
problems in putting it on or taking it off using just one hand.

Ditto. I have a Motorola H670 which comes with several different ear
pieces and it took some experimenting to find the one that works for me
but I can put it on with my glasses in place.

I'm wondering if the problem the OP describes might be due to the
design of the earpieces on your glasses? Mine are wire frames with
fairly thin earpieces and they really don't interfere with the LLAD*
device.

If you are only wanting a hands free option while driving, then the
Supertooth line of speakerphones are the answer. You can find info at
http://www.myblueant.com . TigerDirect.com in the USA or
TigerDirect.ca in Canada have them. For reviews, Google "SuperTooth
Light review" and "SuperTooth II review".
