What's your favorite bluetooth cellphone?
I'm going to buy a bluetooth telephone this weekend to use with my iPaq 4155.
What should I get? So far I'm leaning to a Motorola v600, but am totally open to any suggestions!
TIA

I'm quite happy with my Ericsson T610/T616 series phone. The joystick thingy is quirky at first, but it's quite easy to use after a few minutes of nonstop playing and learning. But this is only my third cell phone, and the first with a color screen, so I'm not too well-versed in the subject.

Yep. I just chcange my Network settings to my Bluetooth profile and it connects automatically. I get a pretty consistent 3.7 kilobytes/second when loading pages, although it drops every now and then. But I think that's due to spotty Cingular coverage and not the phone itself. Not fast enough for normal browsing, but great for signing on to check email or updating RSS feeds.

What I meant was do you dial phone numbers from the address book on your PPC? |

Ah, nope, never tried. I'm old fashioned and like to dial my numbers by hand still.

I use a T610 and have dialed numbers from my PPC (5450) using Agenda Fusion. Works quite nicely and when connected (the T610 that is) to a Bluetooth headset or handsfree unit, the call passes right through. Only problem is I don't always have Bluetooth turned on in the PPC (it is always on in the T610-In fact I have not turned it off in over a year) so sometimes it's easier to just dial the number after looking up.
Hopefully the Bluetooth implementation on the 4700 (still running PPC2002 on the 5450) is a bit better and won't cause the device to occasionally hang.
But the short answer is, yes it works.

I have a v600 and like it a lot. Buddy of mine has a T637 which he's quite happy with. T637 is an "updated" version of the 610/616 mentioned earlier. It's easily recognizable by the black shell vs white... and actually is smaller.

I have a T610 also, and have dialed from Contacts before. It's a nice feature, but I'm usually calling the same 2-3 people who are already programmed to a mem number on my phone. |
