E200 Slows Down When Bluetooth Active?

[Jason Dunn]

Speaking of Bluetooth speeds, I'm trying (struggling) to get my Dell Axim X30 to use the SPV E200 as a GPRS modem, and I've noticed something about the E200: when Bluetooth is turned on, either in Discover mode or just in "on" mode, the phone seems to get sluggish and less responsive. Has anyone else noticed this? If you want to see the poll results without voting (because you don't have an E200), click on the DISCUSS link.

UH-OH.....isn't this the first MS Smartphone with Bluetooth released? If so, it may be a problem with all future MS Smartphones with Bluetooth?

I am totally on the fence between the MPx220 and the iPaq 6000 series as my next device. I'll be watching the results of this thread closely, as it may help mek my decision.

Of course, if the E200 isn't the first MS Smartphone with Bluetooth, then it a problem with the model itself.

Yes, it's the first Windows Mobile Smartphone with Bluetooth, and the E200 has a few other problems, so I'm inclined to think it's a problem with the phone itself. Let's hope the MPx220 will do Bluetooth better...
