...as in [Somewhat On/Off Topic]
I got a cell phone with bluetooth capability. It's a Motorola V551.
I have no hands-on experience with bluetooth but can see how this technology could benefit me in at at least 2 areas:
1) Wireless ear/headset while riding the bike (or driving a car).
Does it require a proprietary Motorola headset to catch an incoming call over the headset? (standard headphones /w cord won't do it)
((Reason: I miss many of my incoming calls because of surrounding noise level at rush hour commute, with the phone in the backpack))
Anyone any comment ?
2) Link to a PC: to backup phonebook, calendar, photos, etc. and hopefully editing the data, and stream it back to the cell (editing anything using that tiny key pad on the cell is a pain in the Hintern.
Now about hardware/software for doing the PC link --I assume that will be done via USB ? (I have a fairly old PC tower)
What do I need to be aware of to not get locked in into some M$ trap?
Those questions may all sound trivial for people who use bluetooth on a regular basis, but I still have a hard time to imagine any structured back-and-forth communication between that 'little thing' (the cell) and my desktop.
Finally, if any local dealers ((Mr.O ?)) have a working solution I'd be happy to spend more money upfront to save it at the end :-)
