    Re: any walkie talkie programs for bluetooth ?

    well after a day of searching the net... nothing...

    seems an application waiting is a Voice over Bluetooth program for the
    Symbian 60 phones...

    hmmmm.....

    and yes imagine calling ur mate or girlfriend without using any carrier
    networks...free version has no scrambling features so others can hear
    in....similar to the audio on yahoo chat system....think about it folks...

    would work in a shopping centre, concert, etc....and the Ngage has 30
    meters...thats 100 feet! not bad when going through walls too...

    already i can see a user interface ....

    anyone know about Voice over Bluetooth ?

    another idea is audio paging your computer and vice versa....imagine the

    The point is motorola walkie talkies that are cheap can do 2-5 miles... Also bluetooth
    decreases the more walls there are. . . are you sure that ngage has 30metres bluetooth?!

    Think you'll find Bluetooth is 30 feet not 30 metres! Although you'll be
    lucky if you get that - it's meant to be a personal area network with a
    typical range of about 3 metres.

    Re: any walkie talkie programs for bluetooth ?

    ill find info on bluetooth with the SIG group thankx...stop assuming
    ****....

    do some research then say something...i aint interested in what your
    chemicals in your brain say about bluetooth...

    i have a Bluetooth USB dongle thats 100 meters (333 feet) and the
    ngage...well ill do my own tests when i get it...and all the documents i
    have say 30 meters

    why the heck would they promote multi-player gaming if they dont have a
    strong bluetooth signal...

    cheers

    the ngage will be lucky to manage 10 metres. the USB dongle's 100m range is
    only when used with another USB dongle. there are two main 'strengths' of
    bluetooth, the phone uses a low-power version to maximise communication
    times.

    > why the heck would they promote multi-player gaming if they dont have a

    bluetooth = average 5-8m gameplay range.
    which is ten times the distance of infrared.
    not as if it's a short distance anyway, 8 metres is quite a long way away
    from someone if you are gaming with them.

    Re: any walkie talkie programs for bluetooth ?

    the nokia ngage game deck states on page 115 of the users guide that 2
    nokias only have to be a MAXIMUM of 10 meters and ... etc

    now I'm sure that statement is probably on the safe side with some walls....

    but in the open and outside its range can go to 30 meters....or within the
    confines of one building/warehouse...

    still i wanna see a cb radio type program via bluetooth

    While your continued desire to have such a device/program in the face of
    such obvious ridicule is admirable to you, quite frankly, to the rest of
    the people in here who have a technical background of any sort, it kind of
    onerous to say the least.

    Like Paulo mentioned, how useful could a bluetooth walkie talkie (aka two
    way radio) be if it could only send and recieve 10-30 meters? It sure
    wouldn't be very useful with walls in the way. If you really want to have
    two-way radios and a phone then you really only have two options that I can
    think of.
    Option A: Keep your bluetooth Nokia and purchase a pair of Motorola two way
    radios for approx $25-$50 (range - approx 2 miles).
    Option B: Get a Motorola Nextel and use their two way radio capability and
    find a different newsgroup (the Nextel one) to bother.

    Can anyone else think of any other options for Mark who clearly wants to
    have bluetooth, a phone, and two way radio capability?

    surely a paging or pager between 2 paired devices is not a bad idea...

    how useful is the paging facility on a cordless phone? DOH....

    you cant see any obvious reasons? wow and you say you and others are
    technical...bwa ha ha ha

    firstly dont talk on behalf of the others...makes em distrust u....and

    no wonder innovation went out the window since the start of the new
    century....bwa ha ha ha ha

    no wonder Rod Speed exists here...cheers

    First, a paging program might be useful especially if one wasn't smart
    enough to keep track of their cell phone (which, I admit, I have been known
    to do) and you didn't want to just use a landline to call it and find it
    that way.

    But, you were asking about walkie talkie capabilities. And that capability
    is what I was addressing. Innovation is fine. As far as walkie talkie
    capabilities in a cell-phone, yes, I am sure that it would be useful.
    Nextel has already proven it's viability. But not using bluetooth as the
    transmission medium.

    You say innovation went out the window since the new century. I disagree.
    There are several new items hitting the market that shows we are moving
    right along. I'll name just one that will revolutionise the way we look at
    computing - 64 bit processing. Apple just came out with 64 bit processing
    and so did AMD. Pentium isn't far behind.
