BT: V3, IPAQ & HS850

I just got a RAZR V3 from T-Mobile and am trying to figure out how to run
simultaneous BlueTooth sessions to both the HS850 Handsfree headset and my
IPAQ 4705 dialer. In other words I want to activate my headset and dial from
my IPAQ contacts at the same time. So far I have been able to do one or the
other, but not both at the same time. Seems like the RAZR only wants to
connect Bluetooth one device at a time.

Thanks,

JL

I'm pretty sure the V3, like most mobile phones, only supports one Bluetooth
connection at a time.

Hmmmmm....the radio is there, and the profiles!! I wonder why a good product
manager wouldn't consider this to be a great capability??

Right now I can actually dial from the IPAQ, and as soon as it tells me it
sent the digits, I click "cancel" and open the boom on the HS850, it
connects and the call is active! Quite cludgey, but at least it does
work.....I wonder if anyone from Moto is listening?? It would be awfully
nice for the phone to go that extra step, allowing both to connect
simultaneously.

Thanks!

AFAIK you can't, sorry.

Cost, in a brutally competitive market where people tend to buy mostly on
price.

Oh yeah, that must explain why the phones are so cheap, like $400
without any discounts. maybe they should remove all the **** features
and concentrate on making a good phone and then they would have room for
things like this that are still phone related functions and the cost
would go down or stay the same.

In real terms, especially considering the level of sophistication, it is
cheap, very cheap.

It's those "****" features that make it so hot.

It is a good phone, a very good phone.

I seriously doubt that many would agree with you.

In real terms, without the monopolistic practice of manufacturers selling
nearly exclusively to carriers and carriers "subsidizing" prices, the
makers would sell to the public direct and there'd be competition to
bring prices crashing down.

I have to agree that a phone with multi-connect Bluetooth and no camera
and no MP3 player and no video recording and no hot and cold running
water would be a lot hotter to many of us than the phones with the toys.

It's a terrific phone. But it needs multi-connect Bluetooth more than
it needs a camera.

A camera is a piece of hardware that has a large fixed development cost
as well as repeated hardware insertion costs. Multi Bluetooth has a
large fixed development cost, but as firmware it costs nothing for
insertion. It should be possible to do multi Bluetooth cheaper than
camera phone, especially with today's 15 gigaterapetaexapixel cameras.

Adding multiple Bluetooth channels to an existing platform is not just the
question of the cost of the Bluetooth hardware, but making the processor
MIPS available to support it.
The new Motorola SLVR supports stereo headphones with Bluetooth, but I don't
think it will do what you want either.
