Well I would reverse the two. That is, you can use the IrDA connection to see if you want wireless data. If so, then switching from IrDA to Bluetooth is well worth the extra cost of the card. Before I got the T68i, I was using IrDA to connect my phone and Pocket PC. What a hassle! :really mad: I would walk through an airport balancing my PPC and phone in one hand trying to keep the IR ports lined up – but not too close together. And this was totally useless for dialing.
Because I have a lot of business contacts in Outlook that I rarely need to call, I don’t want to clutter up the phone list on the T68i with them – that way there’s less to scroll through to get to the people I call most often. But, it was a much bigger bother to dial from the PPC than to just copy the phone number by hand for the occasional number. On the other hand, with Bluetooth, it’s easy to tap the dial contact item from within Outlook, then use the phone. The same thing holds for SMS messaging. I hate T9 text entry. What a joke! But using Bluetooth, it’s easy to write SMS messages on the Pocket PC and send them with the phone.
In short – Bluetooth is the way to go! :way to go:
Help! Socket Bluetooth to T68 on T-Mobile
