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

agreed

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.

HD2 Landscape Car Holder

I am searching for a landscape! device holder for my HD2.
I found several Portait ones, but landscape is much nicer!

I have to admit that despite the hefty prcie tag of the official car kit, it looks so damn good, I might splurge and get it anyway. I will learn to live with the battery lump thingy.

Brodit Holders are potrait holders, but you can easily turn them to landscape mode:

This one looks really nice, but unfortunately they didnt left any room for the speaker on the holder, only for the camera...shouldnt be that good for the volume of your navigation software.

I don't think that this is a problem. My Kaiser has a similar case, no problem. And if it is so load in your car that won't make a difference. A solution is to use your AUX in of your Radio . Modern Radios support Aux and Radio/USB/SD mixing so you can listing to music & hear your navigation

Thats allways the best, I also have my own Phone mount in my car, also all holders for this mounts are my (fathers) work, Those Plastic thing is the only thing I need

Just fitted the brodit holder, it's excellent.

benefits of the brodit holder, no drilling, or a suction cup. Easy mounting, and with a new phone you only change the holder.
Had these for my last three phones.

i was looking for something like this. just bought it. thanks for the link.

I think I will definitely wait for the official carkit. It looks simply amazing. I've owned some non-official car phone holders in my time.... in most cases they look cheap and plasticy.
However in most cases, function is fine (perhaps sometimes a bit fidgety to adjust).

Try this... I bought this particular one from PDA Hut and love it.. Very strong and sturdy.

P.S if you want i can provide some pictures of inside of my car so you can decide...

Make your own.

best headphones I have used

SEE now thats what I was looking for THANKS!!!!

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 use these and they do everything you state you need with... Voice Command

WOW!
These look awesome! want one!

I use the Etymotic Research HF2+ Headset and they are amazing! Balanced sound without all the extra bass. Audio Booster is used to its full potential with a great set of noise-isolating headset such as this.

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?

Here you go get'em while on sale I know I am!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982253

SkullCandy are awsome earphones!!!The sound is superb !! and for less than $20.00 You cant go wrong.

if you truly want to have the best experience with this phone, i suggest saving up and getting a pair of dr dre beats studio edition. I know its pricey but youll thank yourself for a really long time

THanks for all of your replys. I think I am going with the BT sony ericsson they are soo small (bit pricy tho)

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?

Pretty sure that anything for an iphone will have the play/pause, next and previous track on them... I bought a set made for an iphone and works perfect at tj maxx a few days ago that work perfect. 14.99.

Just received my iharmonix IHX-PLAT-I Platinum i-Series earphones. Gotta say these are the best sound quality earbuds I have ever heard. Fitment is great. 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.

Honda Pilot + Nook Color, DIY no dock needed

I own a 2009 Honda Pilot and just recently bought a refurbished NC. I couldn't help but noticed that it will almost fit in the center console:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In fact, if I push hard enough, the top of the console cover will actually lift a little bit to give room. So, I decided that I only need to cut a little groove underneath the ceiling so my nook will lock into place:
It worked quite well, but because of the pressure, sometimes it will accidentally press on the volume key and the power keys. So I made the groove on the upper left side longer so it won't press on the volume keys, and I cut out a hole in the rubber matt at the bottom so it won't touch the power button:
When I detach the NC, you can't even tell a hold was cut underneath the ceiling of the top cover unless you get up really close to examine it. And when I attach it, it's awesomely beautiful! I hope this will help other Pilot owners.
Tools I used:
- dremel rotary tool to cut the hole in the ceiling
- sharp knife to clean up the cuts, and cut the bottom matt
Tested: tethered off my Tmobile G2 for internet and GPS, activated google navigation while listening to pandora.

Thats pretty sweet!!

Nice mod! although personally I would not cut into a console of my car just to fit a Nook into it.

Haha.. I know exactly what you mean... I debated for a while myself, but I figured that it won't really be noticeable at all. I bet if I sell my car right now, the buyer won't even notice the slots I've cut out from the under side of the top cover.

That cut...

Meh.. that is a simple fix. Just affix a bluetooth GPS in the space behind the nook. I have a GPS strapped to my window mount for my Nook, and it works amazingly.

I just tether internet and GPS off my T-mobile G2, works like a charm. I'm thinking that I could probably also play some movie from netflix during a long road trip... not sure if it's legal

Yeah, that may be a bad idea. There's a reason in-dash DVD players only work when the car in is in park.

Car dock for Flex?

OK, so I've searched all over but I haven't seen an actual Car Dock for the LG G Flex. only universal mounts pop up and I have one of those (my wife and i used to have matching HTC EVO 4G LTE's) and it doesn't sit or play well with that one mostly because of the Curve and size. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find a good LG Flex based car dock? we take trips down south to Austin from Amarillo a lot but it's a pain having to reach down in to my Jeeps cup holder and look away while i check GPS or change song. just curious

Curious about this as well.
One thing I have found (however dangerous and unsafe as it may be) is to use a mouse while driving. Using a OTG cable with a wireless mouse helps me keep much more focus on the road. Much better that reaching up to the phone and touching the screen imho. With the flex I have many times knocked the phone out of the bad-fitting car dock I have when I touch it, creating a dangerous situation. Hence my switch to a mouse

I got this universal mount sideways since I switch phones a lot. I adjust it so it's snug and don't even mess with the button to release it so it's easy to put in and take out. Our Columbus, Ohio roads suck and I've never had problem with it falling out. It's angled up so that helps. I tried at least 10 universal mounts and finally found one I like. I got it at Walmart.
I only mess with my phone when I'm at a light. I had a friend that died driving and texting.

I have an Arkon window mount with a 18inch flexible goose-neck which also accomodates a 7 -10 inch tablet. I do see that they have an NFC enabled window mount which will probably do everything that you need it to do:

I use a cd slot mounted dock and it works great. Slip it into your cd slot, tighten the tightner thingy, set phone in dock and away you go!

I've got this same one......they also make it with different mounting bases. Like one that mounts to the cars a.c. vents and another with extended arm. Holds the phone really tight and very easily usable to insert phone into and take out of.
