My review:



OK, in my short, short tests I have found a few things, not so much good however.

--Press and hold the multi-function button on bluetooth headset: Initiates VC....GOOD!

--You cannot use bluetooth devices' microphone or ear speaker. It still uses the phones' mic and speaker. I messed with the settings a little also, nothing.

--VC now anounces messages. A plus, not a BIG deal for me.

In conclusion, if you use a BT earpiece in the car, and the phone is very close to you, it will be ok. You can call anyone in your contacts without touching the phone. BUT, the phone needs to be near you so you can talk into the mic and listen to the confirmation questions. Voice recognition is good, it hasn't screwed up yet. I've tried 8-10 times. Not worth it in my opinion, as the treo bt stack doesn't support talking into the earpiece, listening through the earpiece, etc. I'm very disappointed, but it will be great on other voice-dialing-capable phones.

sweet....but shouldn't this be in the pocket pc software forum. :P

In that case I'll wait for a REAL MODERATOR to move it! :P

yes and no. specifically 700w/wx users are interested in dialing over BT, which every other WM5 device does, so this was addressing that specifically.

patmannyc's review will cause hella confusion if people don't understand the 700w/wx issue.

though someone can post a general announcement if they want to in the ppc software section. :wink:

Good point, I edited my post to clarify, based on the confusion over at treocentral as well. If it were a free upgrade it would be a no-brainer, we'll see if Palm changes the stack in their next update.

RIIIIIIIIIGHT!

So does this mean you can hear the callers name over ur bt headset when u get a call or is it still the generic tone you hear..............?

You will NOT hear them. like I said, the bluetooth on this phone prevents most of the functions, therefore if you own a 700w/wx I do not recommend buying it. Not worth the 40 bucks.

We'll see if the firmware update that gets released (one day) upgrades the BT stack, but it is not likely.

so are u saying you cant hear any notifications over bt???? or just not the callers name???? thanks...

I believe that with the wx any notification will be heard on the headset as a beep, or whatever your headset does. Due to the wx no being set up for BT stacking no voice notification (ring tones, voice command, etc) can be heard on the headset.

Anyone, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
