Just got a new Arrive last week. Had Pro2. BT does not work with Sprint Navigation. Any ideas?

it's because before mango devs didn't have access to the BT API. this has since been fixed in mango and once that app gets updated for mango it should work.

Thanks! How will we get this change? I am not a techy guy like most on PPC Geeks. You guys are the best and I appreciate what you do.

Bing navigation works well and has BT support. Just go into the native maps app.

Thanks. Will check it out. BTW, I see your migration path beginning with 6700, exactly what my path has been. Was a Sprint dealer for 13 years so had all Windows PDA's.

The arrive definately runs much better than all the WM devices, I just miss Wifi tethering, and the world capability of the TP2. When I was in Rome last year I purchased a sim card locally and used the TP2 and google maps to navigate around Rome.

Hopefully Nokia or HTC will bring another worldphone to Sprint soon. The arrive doesn't seem to have much support, even on XDA developers.
