Any Accessories to enable Bluetooth for i600

[kaps]

Is there any way to get the i600 to work with bluetooth devices, like a third party adapter the would plug into the jack?

No, there are no bluetooth drivers for SP 2002.

Maxnix, I see that Jabra has one of their Freespeak devices that comes with a Multi-Adapter for non-bluetooth phones that, according to them, works with the i600.

I have tried the Jabra headset and it does not work in connecting my 600 with my car via bluetooth. Below is a reply from Samsung on what to do.



Thank you for your inquiry. The slot on the SCH-i600 is a true SDIO 4x slot. Any universal Bluetooth card that is compatible with an SDIO slot should work, however, we do not support the use of any 3rd party devices with our handsets. We recommend contacting the manufacturer of any 3rd party hardware you would attempt to use with your SmartPhone 2002, to see what compatibility information they can provide. You may also want to check with your provider, Verizon, for information on the use of this technology with their services as well.

We thank you for your continued interest in Samsung products.

Sincerely,
Technical Support

Interesting, but do any of the BT SD card vendors provide drivers for Smartphones?

I have a Jabra bluetooth headset I used with my Nokia 6350 and when I purchased the I600 I ordered just the bluetooth adapter that plugs into the phone and it works perfectly.

You can not send files between the i600 to BT capable PC using the BT headset adaptor.

Yes it will only perform that one bluetooth function. It did sound like that was what textar was talking about. I guess i misunderstood.

Not good news.

I have tried over the last week to load the Bluetooth program onto my i600 but it does not seem to work. i have the setup files on my laptop and try to get it loaded via activesync and it goes through the motions but it does not load. i have to believe that the lack of drivers issue is in play here but just dont know enough about the OS or phone to get around the problem. i am planning to keep the card until the new smartphone OS comes out (assuming i will be able to load it onto the phone).

Are there any other options??????????????????
