Any > recommendations for one offering Bluetooth 2? Don't know about BT2 but if you're adding a BT USB dongle make sure you get a compatible one. Most of them will work fine even without drivers (they're in OSX already) BUT you may have limited functionality. For example AFAIK you can only pair a BT headset with your Mac if you have a D-Link BT Adaptor, it's the only one Apple support for headset- pairing. I discovered this after getting a Belkin BT Adaptor - works great except for headsets, they're no go. Note that your Mac may offer to update the firmware on a D-Link Adaptor and this will improve its performance on Mac but renders it unusable on Windoze, if you care? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The main advantages of the BTO BT module are stability, compatibility, and use of the built-in BT antenna port. The cheaper option is to purchase a USB BT module for US$15, or so. I added a 5-port USB PCI card to my G5. One of the USB ports is internal to the machine, so I put the BT module there. Even though the G5 case is metal, the BT coverage is adequate if your keyboard/mouse/mobile/whatever is close by. The problem that I ran into with that approach is that the USB BT module stops working after a few days and has to be unplugged and re-plugged, which is a hassle when it is internal. So, I ended up moving the USB BT unit to one of the external USB ports. This stability issue appears only because I leave my G5 on 24/7. If you turn yours on and off each day, I expect that you could leave the BT module internal without any problems. Good luck.

The screen is absolutely huge and, as with flip-phones, the keypad is protected from accidental key presses. The UI on SE's phones has always struck me as particularly well refined and easy to use so I've stuck with them for years. iSync, SMS from Address Book, bluetooth file exchange to and from my Mac works as well, maybe better, than the T68i it replaced. I also use Salling Clicker to control VLC, iTunes and PowerPoint, and the S700i has a HID-based bluetooth remote built in that you can customise up the wazoo - I've only just started playing with that one.

Thanks, Steve, but the 6680 is not available in my neck of the woods yet. I have no issues with Nokia, before I went Bluetooth I used two of their earlier phones.

Thanks, Jan, but the RAZR is not on the Salling Clicker supported device list. I really like the design, though.

Hello Jon... The S700i is not on the current available stocks here, but the S710a is... It seems to be a similar design, and is on the Salling supported device list. How has the battery life been for you, with that phone?

As it was a refurb I didn't have the option of adding Bluetooth. Could anyone recommend the best way of doing so now? Apparently it can be added by an Authorised Apple Servicer but I don't have one close by and don't know the cost. Will a USB dongle work just as well? Any recommendations for one offering Bluetooth 2? Don't know about BT2 but if you're adding a BT USB dongle make sure you get a compatible one. Most of them will work fine even without drivers (they're in OSX already) BUT you may have limited functionality. For example AFAIK you can only pair a BT headset with your Mac if you have a D-Link BT Adaptor, it's the only one Apple support for headset-pairing. I discovered this after getting a Belkin BT Adaptor - works great except for headsets, they're no go. Note that your Mac may offer to update the firmware on a D-Link Adaptor and this will improve its performance on Mac but renders it unusable on Windoze, if you care? _______________________________________________ Bluetooth-Mac mailing list Bluetooth-Mac@listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-mac Listmom is trying to clean out his closets!

I have been quite happy with the phone's battery life. I have BT turned on constantly for headset and PDA pairing, as well as syncing to a desktop Mac, and I get a couple days of use out of a single charge.

Otherwise a google for 'phone unlocking' will find plenty of places that will do it. Or you could buy the cheapest T-mobile pay-as-you-go SIM card, which should activate the phone so you can use it with Clicker. -------------- Roger Houghton Bath, Somerset mail@rogerhoughton.co.uk ======================== From jffdcksn at mac.com Thu Sep 29 21:35:56 2005 From: jffdcksn at mac.com (Jeffrey Dickson) Date: Thu Sep 29 21:36:41 2005 Subject: [BTM] T-610 with no service contract as Salling clicker?
