Just ordered myself a Motorola T605 Bluetooth Car Kit. I’ve been wanting a car handsfree forever (I hate headsets) and this one seems to have the best features for the money — A2DP, AVRCP, 3.5mm audio pass-thru, and automatic volume adjustment. Install ought to be a snap, just plug it in between my iPhone dock […]

Car Handsfree
04Oct07My 14-day return period with the T-Mobile MDA is just about up. I’m grudgingly going to keep it… I’d rather use the MDA as a data-only device but T-Mobile recently jacked their unlimited data-only plan from $30 to $50, and for my usage patterns I’m better off spending $10 more to bundle their cheapest voice […]
Bluetooth Presence
05Nov04David C. McNett put together some scripts for using Bluetooth to manipulate an Asterisk dialplan, creating a simple presence system that allows his calls to be forwarded to the appropriate phone.
SP2
10Aug04I’m about to install XP SP2, mainly because I want to check out the Bluetooth support — I never re-installed the Belkin / WIDCOMM drivers after I rebuilt my desktop PC.
Wish me luck…
PS: I fell victim to the Fedora Core 2 dual-boot issue after my rebuild, and have to boot from a Linux floppy and […]
Defeating Bluetooth
15Sep03In other hardware annoyance news, last week I decided that Bluetooth would work on my PC before the weekend ended. About ten minutes later, Pocket PC Passion reported that Belkin finally released updated drivers. They aren’t the WIDCOMM 1.3 drivers that Belkin support had provided me with Beta releases for back in April, but I […]
Bluetooth Woes, Part II
28Apr03Saturday night I schlepped back to the Sunrise CompUSA and found their hidden stash Bluetooth products — behind the PDA counter, locked behind glass, on the bottom shelf. I snagged USB and CompactFlash adapters from Ambicom.
They both work, to varying degrees.
On the PDA side, I can’t get Ambicom’s Phonebook / SMS software to work. Establishing […]
Bluetooth Woes
25Apr03I got a Belkin Bluetooth dongle from the Sunrise CompUSA this afternoon.
I can’t make it work.
The Bluetooth Configuration refuses to save my settings, every time I open it the “Computer Name” is blank. I have successfully paired with the Nokia 3650, but that’s all I’ve managed to accomplish.
I’m on the phone with technical support now. […]
What’s up with T-Mobile?
04Nov02The Ericsson T68 has disappeared from T-Mobile’s product page. They’ve added the new Siemens M46, Motorola C332, Sony Ericsson T300, and Motorola V70. Not a single one has Bluetooth.
I’ve been itching for a new phone. I really want something svelte with Bluetooth and good RF performance. I checked out the Sidekick yesterday, it’s way too […]
