Okay, I tested the voice dialing with Microsoft Voice Command 1.5.

For non-BT headset operation, the Voice Command works great.

But for BT headset, it seems the BT stack cannot use the BT headset as default audio in/out. I unchecked the checkbox inside BT manager ("use this device for telephone calls") and was unable to connect to my colleague's Nokia HDW-3. It said the requested service was not found. Strange.

Generally speaking, the BT stack was unable to receive voice command from BT headset. Therefore, all command must be issued on the device itself.

For BT A2DP (Advanced Audio Profile), the BT stack got an entry named "High Quality Audio setup" with description "Setup Bluetooth Headphones or Stereo Speakers to be used with your PocketPC". I am unsure if it means A2DP and I don't have any A2DP headphone to confirm it.

If anyone want to know more details on the device, please post it here asap. I will return the device within 36 hours.

Compulim, Can you put the GPS thru its paces, especially with phone and/or other applications running in the background?

1. Test the GPS with a street map (e.g. Tomtom, if you have one). And/or with some raster maps.
2. Is there any any accompanying software to database trackpoints? If yes, what format does it use to save trackpoints?
3. Is it easy to download track or waypoints to a PC?

Thanks
CR

What does it mean that the GPS database must be synced every 49 hours? What is it synchronizing and why does it kill the function if not?

Seems a bit strange.

The Treo 650 can't handle voice dialing over a BT headset, either. I wonder if it's for the same reason. Very odd considering that this is not a new "trick" (my Sony-Ericsson T608 could do it).

Do you know which Bluetooth stack this device uses? Is it using the Widcomm stack? Is it possible to route audio through the BT headset using audio gateway on this device?

I have a production unit. Doesn't feel slow atall.

Can anyone that has used skype on this device post their experience? Is it slow, sluggish or does it work fine?

Is it possible to use skype via a bluetooth headset?
