Bluetooth Performance

Anyone test the BT performance on this yet? I had the 700wx and bluetooth REALLY sucked!!! I'm sure many of you know that. It wouldn't hold a connection, it would shut off by itself, etc etc.

IF I upgrade from my Touch, this would probably be my next upgrade, but I really like the Touch, so I'm not sure if I will or not.

It works GREAT with my s9 motorola, as well as my T505 car kit: http://www.wilsongonewild.com/2008/0...ly-the-be.html

I have an H12 I used with my 700wx it would disconnect all the time. I have had my 800w for 2 days using my H12 most of the time hasent disconnected once.

Unfortunately, BT on my 800w is mediocre with my nxZen 600 headset. Sounds good to me, but not to person I'm talking to. That headset works perfectly on my Touch and Razr2. Left myself a voicemail to be sure - 800w definitely sub-par. Disappointing...

Voice command over bluetooth doesn't work I have tested with a couple of different bluetooth headsets with the exact same results. However the random disconnects seam to have vanished. Every headset I used with my 700wx would randomly disconnect its self from time to time not the case with the 800w. I would say the bluetooth has improved but still needs work on the 800w especially if you like to use your bluetooth and MCVS. I personally never use MSCV I get tired of arguing with my PPC.

"Call Home"... Did you say call Howard..."No"...Try Again..."Call Home"...Did you say call home..."Yes"...Say Yes, No or Cancel..."Cancel". So then I hold down 9 key and PPC calls home.

This is the same with every device I have ever owned MSVC is a sharp looking program in theory but lacks polish in real time. MHO

There is a patch available for Voice Dialing over BT:
