More Bad about the DriveBlue, which can be worked around:

If you have any of your phone favorite speed dial entries set to
automatically dial extra digits, it will completely break the BT
communication.  Palm Support was of no help.  Parrot Support didn't
have this exact item known, but at least one of their techs now does.

They knew of a problem with the original Sprint Treo firmware that
caused a crash on the mere presence of extra digits in a favorite item,
since fixed in the current Sprint Treo firmware.  But I have a Cingular
Treo, and it worked before the update, and then before the crash but
not after.

But his mention of this reminded me that also after the crash I had
Sunday and resulting hard reset/restore, I had also decided to enable
the "dial automatically" function on one of my speed dials.  This
settings change was between when it worked and when it broke.  So with
Parrot on the landline, I tested it with this disabled and it worked.

FYI, when I say it breaks the communication, I mean that in the fullest
sense of the word.  It would not pair.  After repeated tries, it would
pair, but not talk, and attempts to set up voice tags would cause a
Treo crash just when it should be listing my Favorites to choose from.

Setting up the voice tags is a multisession affair.  It seems that I
can only set up a few at any one time before it simply stops responding
to the setup command.  I don't know if this is a problem on the
DriveBlue end or the Treo end.
