I read on a forum today that the Nokia N810 (and n800 with firmware up-date) internet tablets support Bluetooth SAP (Sim Access Profile) meaning that they can basically be used like a bluetooth car kit to make and receive calls and display caller I.D. from any host phone that supports SAP (The Athena and TyTn being two that I know of). The N800 and N810 also support Dial Up Networking over bluetooth and many other profiles.
N800s are available for 200 quid from www.cex.co.uk (and probably less on Ebay). I cannot confirm that they support SAP for sure but videos and documentation I've seen sure do indicate this. Integrated with a windows mobile device and Chainfire's WMWifirouter application the two devices could work very well together - particularly since the N800/n810s have a webcam and native Flash 9 support. The N800 probably isn't a GREAT DEAL smaller than the Athena, though the N800 sure is: It looks a bit like a slinky, brushed aluminium TyTn.
As far as I know there is no standalone Bluetooth SAP kit however. Just headsets and earpieces with support for number display.
I hope this is of some help.
Well, whoever make a neat bluetooth headset with a dialpad for things thing will get my bucks thats for sure... bluetooth earpeace just doesn't do it.
BTW how do I make the phone the default application when I turn the screen on? I know this must be a simple thing but after countless hours of searching, still no answer. and I tried all the utils from SPB already
Thanks
BT SAP (Sim Access Profile) Handset Client
I'm also looking for a bluetooth handset that could pair up with my HTC x7501 just like a car kit would. It would be nice to have the x7501 sit on my desk and use a separate handset to make calls with.
LG Style-I. Keypad, caller ID display. No SAP or vibrate alert. I thought about it, but since I want a hands-free headset for the car Im just sticking with my Jabra BT8010, which does have a vibrate feature.

I have found the ultimate bluetooth handset, it's £40 though but defo woth considering

sorry Al but i beat you to it in my post 10 mins before yours
big difference in price though, it`s $80 over here.
No, but I was looking for something really light weight, small form, bluetooth only that also has a small dial pad on it.. you know,
Did you see my post above about the LG Style-I? Its what you are looking for.
Yes, well not quite like the LG Style-I... it has horrible reviews, everything from awkward buttons, poor design to hard to read screen, and so on. It does look cool, but it is not as functional. We live in such a technological revolution that the mere fact that this item does not exists is a step backwards ... The retro phone is much better then the Style-I

Does anyone else feels the need for a handset for the Athena?
How do you make/receive your phone calls ?

I hold it against my face Does'nt bother me a bit.
However, if I'm making VOIP call, I use a wired headset.

Hi all
since Athena does not have ear piece set, a Bluetooth headphone is essential and the more advanced features the better so I searched the net looking for Bluetooth headphones that can do more than answering and ending the call,,, more like getting into contacts.. and I found 2
1- LG Style-i Acts as Cellphone Remote, But Like a Bluetooth Earpiece, Too

Hi Dp... I got the BT8010 works very well, however all sound is redirected to the jabra. So when the phone rings, that is also redirected, so some times it is a bit frustrating, I have the dopod u1000, do you have the same problem? or have you found a way round this?
I have been using the HTC S100 ( a rebadged iTech Clip R35) with it and it seems to work like all the others. Every time you turn it on or come back into range you have to set it as handsfree again. but then windows mobile has been doing that for years and I am used to it.
One thing i did notice however, is that my ameo rings through the speakers even when bluetooth is connected to the headset.... I expected everything to be re-directed through the headset, but not this time!
Has anyone tested the LG style-i with the Ameo yet?
This phone is maybe a second choice:

Mine should arrive in a few days, I'll let you know the results as soon as it does.
Hi
I have been using the LGi style for couple of days , and its great. Works really well with my ameo.The only thing it doesn't do is print the caller ID it does tell you the caller numbner though.
I have microsoft voice command on the ameo, and that works really well with the LG i style, all the voice commands are routhed to the LG I.
Glad to hear it. Looking forward to yet another new toy arriving
Thx!
I doubt between a normal ear-headset, like a nokia BH800, or a LG.
How does the LG work with pairing. Can you easily answer the phone when the LG is in standby modus?
Hi all,
I am just about to receive my new HD2, and have been looking around for a bluetooth stereo headset adapter to use when I am on the move. I currently have an old i.Tech Clip D-Radio [damn, no links allowed for noobs, so you'll have to google it if you are not familiar ] but have found that after a good 6 months worth of heavy use, the build quality is starting to let the device down.
Couple of reasons I like this one is the OLED with caller display (only shows the phone number, not contact name though), it has a 3.5 mm jack, so I can use my own headphones, and a usb charger (so I can hook it straigh up to the pc, and I only have to carry a small cable.
So I am going to get a new one, and wondered if anyone out had any advice/ experience with any devices with the HD2 specifically. There are 2 I am currently interested in, but at the moment neither are available anywhere as far as my googling has found anyway:

Looking at the Sony's myself. I don't know when they will be out but I saw this link posted today: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sony-ericsson-mw600-p22693.htm?referer=AFF_MOBILES-PROD-P-22693
Looks promising that they will be released in a few weeks. Fits with what everyone else is saying. Coming from the HBH-DS980 I have high hopes. I went through three pair I like them so much. Also break and lose them so much.

I have this one and it's crap, battery life is ok but the sound quality is bad. There are a lot of background noises and clicks hearable on lower volumes. On higher volumes it's less hearable but still there.
I have been using the Sony Ericsson HBH DS220 with v moda vibe headphones and the sound is amazing. My only gripe is that the DS220 will drop the audio functionality after disconnecting from a phone call. I have to delete the bluetooth connection and re-pair the headset after every phone call. Not ideal but I have to live with it until a solution is found.

I've got the Motorola S305 and they are great. Good sound, lightweight, double as a handfree headset as well as doing A2DP stereo. Plus they are relatively cheap.

Not using them much anymore, I got tired of A2DP's low quality and noticeable recompression. Got good Sennheiser wired phones now.

It can't be called pretty wireless, it still has lots of wires though
and also.. you can't expect good quality of wireless headset for only 12 pounds.
I've been using Jabra BT3030 for a few weeks now, and so far the results are good. The audio quality is pretty decent for a device like this and i've heard static/noise only when near very powerful electrical sources. Call quality is also good, i've been told that the other party hears me well even though the HF is under my coat. Media controls are useful only in WMP.

These are te best sounding bluetooth headset, but only problem is they dont like too much sweat. I am on my 4th pair now (all changed in warranty) because the buttons stop responding if sweat gets inside.
So if you are not running in them (i do 10k 3 times a week) these will be excellent choice
Anyone Know where I can find similar headphones like the ones for HD2 with the mic and music control

get the ultimate ears pair. skull candy is overpriced like crazy. head over to head-fi.org and read some reviews. the HD2 in cable music control is the same as the iphone, so its nothing new. plenty of headphones out there from the cheap $5 stuff on handhelditems.com to the $350 ultimate ear triplefi 10vi support it.

I have a set of Westone UM3X - sweet perfection - but am looking for a mic/vol/voicecmd button type adapter. Any ideas? Someone mentioned on this thread the HD2 has the same pin out as the iphone so those should work?

What will you be doing with these headphones? I know I had some motorola ROKR BT Headphones and when I went running they would cut out. So just a thing to be careful about if you decide to get those BT Headphones.
I've also been looking for a good headset for this phone. The wired headset I got with the phone hurts horribly when used for more than a few seconds. I'm hoping I can find something either wired or bluetooth that will have the play/pause, next track and previous track capabilities with this phone.
I'm not willing to just make my own headset simply because I have a terrible tendency to burn myself constantly each and every time I solder something.
Simply put, is there a commercially available headset (wired or bluetooth) that is able to supply similar functionality (that people can confirm) to the one included with the phone?

I use these while I'm om my chopper and they will stay in place up to 80mph easy. However... No volume, No song skip, It does have song pause, phone answer, phone dial last number called, and phone hang-up. Microphone sound quality is very good as well. Highly recommend at $39.99 and free shipping.

This is clip type, there is another type which you hook on your ear set one, but im wearing a glasses, that why i think its not suitable for me. This babe i buy for rm99 which equal $34 dollar.
Just use it for 1 day, so far it is good. Receive call, making call sound is very clear and good. How about you guys? Any others good brand?
Heard about the one that can display name contact person, but i could not found one here.

I use these... I work outside and wear glasses. These lg's have served me well... Decent stereo sound, and pairs well with my sprint tab and evo. All controls work and they are comfortable for all day use and don't have a behind the ear form factor that makes a lot of bluetooth headsets very uncomfortable for glasses wearers.

I also have mw600, but the LG HBS-700 looks really interesting. The mw600 is OK, it supports multiple devices and has FM radio, but I didn't like the earphones just dangling around my neck. I also find it hard to control the volume with mw600.

I agree that it looks very cool, but they want to use a MediaTek processor.
MTEK are very unfriendly to modders and the open source community and rarely release any source code. Yet the Gemini guys wrote that they'll support Linux dualboot.
Looks a bit weird to me. I'd like to get that but only if Lineage will run on it.
I wonder if you can actually use it as a phone. like put it to your ear and talk...
That thing looks way interesting. The only thing that I am worried about is how to make a phone call with this.
ohhhhh wtf? thats looking cool
and if u read the description

Yes but, I think that to make a call you have to open it up to dial, and use the stereo speakers to listen, there is no ear only speaker.
The Gemini PDA will have a microphone and speaker for phone use whilst closed. Calls can be made in this mode via the voice activation button or wired or wireless headset. Programmable LEDs will enable caller ID for known callers.

Yes, I agree, a sub forum for the Gemini would be great. Going by the comments on Indigogo, there would be a lot of interest in it.

You can* there are mics and speakers on both sides so it doesn't matter which way you use it, but forget about using the touchscreen in case you need to. (you'll have to open the clamshell to do so.)
I have one but haven't tested the phone yet (or really plan to) . As mine is an early release model (early backer) it shipped without the e-sim functionality enabled yet (testing still needed), and I really don't want to get a sim card if I don't have to. (Regular Sim cards do/should work)
