Unfortunately not. I don't own any BT audio devices... only my standard headset used for making/receiving calls.

I was unable to locate any support for voice-dialing (having checked both the contacts menus and the system menu). That's a great question as I could see this actually be a glaring omission for some folks.

You're absolutely right. Those shots come from my Motorola v635. The quality of the photographs from the v635 is heads-and-shoulders above my previous camera phones (Nokia 3650, SE T610, SE K700i). It's a 1.3Mpx camera and I actually had to resize those shots (originally 1280x960) and ratchet down the compression to make them as web-friendly as possible. The only weakness (as you can see) is that the phone seems to have a hard time focusing in on close objects, but overall, this is the first camera phone I've owned that was actually functional as a camera.

Thanks for the correction! I've updated the article.
As for sample photographs, that's an omission on my part. I'm not in the habit of paying attention to camera capabilities on PDAs or phones, so I neglected to take any samples. Sorry about that.
BTW, that reminds me, my sources also tell me that customers will have the option of ordering this device with or without camera (Jonathon Watkins, are you listening?
).

The information that I reported above is strictly based on my sources internal to HP. There's no official announcement that I know of.
