How Important is Bluetooth to You?
I was thinking about Bluetooth in Pocket PCs, and I was curious to see how important you felt Bluetooth was as a deciding factor in your next Pocket PC purchase.

I find bluetooth to be very useful...not only do i use it to connect to my t610 to get online, i also use my ipaq 4355 to text my friends-the built in thumboard is so convenient for that. I also use it to transfer files to my computers, or my friends who have bt devices...it just makes things much easier.

To me, WIFI is more important simply because I use it more often. I think I would get more use out of BT if I had a Phone Edition device because I would use a BT headset with it.

Bluetooth is a great alternative way for a mobile professional to connect to the Internet when Wifi is unavailable. Moreover, a good bluetooth headset sure beats getting entangled by wires when you are driving. So, for me, it's important to have at least one bluetooth phone and a bluetooth headset.

WiFi is definitely more important to me. I do not use my phone as a modem much b/c the speed is lacking and find mysellf using the wifi much more. BT is nice for the headsets but I prefer to have my phone separate form my PDA (if money were not an obstacle I'd have a PPC Phone and a regular phone.)

Got the email about this post about two minutes after I plugged in my new Belkin Bluetooth adapter for the first time. With my new T-Mobile phone/plan, Bluetooth has become very important, but still nothing compared to WiFi.

Sorry, the single dissenting vote was a mistake, I thought it said I will not buy a ppc without bt.
I gotta have bt
