just got myself some motorola s605 bluetooth headphones. and they work fantastic with the hero
one of the negatives for the hero for me was the lack of fm radio as i listen whilst i deliver my post round but the s605 have a fm radio built in.
so now i have the best phone going!!
got mine off ebay for £35 delivered.
just a heads up for all you fm radio lovers.
Hero + Last.fm + 3G + Unlimited data package = Listening bliss.
I haven't actually tried it on 3G yet (live out in the sticks) but don't see why it wouldn't work. I link mine to a Jabra SP700, which has a built in FM transmitter for the car.

Hmmm... your Hero doesn't have FM radio. Your motorola s605 bluetooth headphones does. Bit of a misleading thread. Thats like saying my TV now has a DVD player! I connect a sony DVD player via scart.
sorry, was only trying to give people another option.
will keep it to myself next time.

What about Nokia BH-903? Did someone try which functions work and which one don't?
just a quick update.
been using for the last few days and all the functions work such as skip track, pause,volume, you can store radio stations by holding the music button for 2 seconds and switch from mp3 to radio with a quick button press. call quality is good. all in all its working very well.
only negative is the battery life is about 6 hours if listening to radio or mp3, obviously lots longer just as hands free.
hope this is a help.
Beepplayer for all your BBC Radio station
Hi if you download the free beebplayer from the store, as well as iplayer and live BBC TV it has BBC Radio stations live.
Radio 1,2,3,4,5 Live,6 Music,7 and 1Xtra.
So that will do for me. lol.

thinking about getting a bluetooth gps receiver and software. i did a little research but i still didn't get any definite answers for a couple of my questions. can any receiver work with any pocket pc? or can any receiver work with the wizard? can any software work with any gps receiver? if they aren't what are the best match ups for the wizard? I've read that the garmin doesn't work well with the wizard. true or not true?
i just need to know some opinions also of people using a gps receivers and software on their wizards
I use the Nokia LD-3w reciever and TomTom for software. Setup was a little weird with the reciever, although I blame that on the fact that at the time I knew nothing about bluetooth. Since then I've had no complaints about it. Make sure you get a reciever with a SirfStar III chip, that's the most important thing. After that look at battery life and price. The nokia has tremendous battery life, I generally use it for 3 weeks or so in the car between charges.
Holux GPSlim 236 here. Sensitive and good battery life. No issues in pairing.
GPRS Advice
Hi,
Im also interested in using SatNav, I have a MDA Vario! (Also very much a novice!!). Just to clear things up, do you need a seperate Bluetooth GPRS receiver? I thought this phone could receive GPRS? Also ive read somewhere about enabling the GPRS on the phone, is there something else i need to do?!!

Dude, you just got jacked ! Cancel the order while if you can!
You can get a better GPS receiver and a car mount for your Wizard for a fraction of the price you paid for the BT359W. I recommend the iBlue 737 (I use this personally) which goes for ~$90 shipped with the mount:

Review of iBlue 737: http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=175&page=5
BT GPS
Most BT GPS recievrs work with Wizard. I personally have used Holux, TomTom, iBlue and Rikaline- and they all worked.
SiRF III chip is good and improves both accuracy as well as reception. Battery life would be next important issue.
At present I am using Holux GR 230 XX with TomTom 5.2 as well as MapKing 7. Both run work fine on the wizard.
I don't care about price as long as it comes highly recommended. besides the battery life seems pretty good from the specs. thanks anyway though.

It is highly recommended from one person. If you read the forums and reviews at gpspassion.com, you'll see why everyone is raving about the iBlue 737. And if you think 11 hours is good, the iBlue 737 gets 27 hours. Plus the chip on the iBlue 737 is much more sensitive and acquires signal much faster. There's also another version that has 32 hours of battery life:

Why have just OK when you can have the BEST??? But if you're happy throwing your money at 2nd-rated products, it's fine with me .

And tomorrow there will be another really great product. I guess I will refrain from posting suggestions.
The BT359 works very well for me accross multiple platforms, if the iB737 had been around or if you had been here months ago to recommend it I might have purchased that, who knows. Your tone however, is not appreciated, it makes it sound like you are marketing the product for that website.

Qstarz
I have a Qstarz 810. It's pretty similar to the SIRF III characteristics wise but seems to have better battery life (20 odd hours). The newer models are even more battery efficient.
I have certainly had no probs with it. It is much more sensitive than my old compact flash GPS I had in my PDA.
A friend has the Sirf III based Holux and swears by it.
Holux has comms over USB if it is any good to you, but battery life isnt as good.
I decided Qstarz was slightly better on stats and I wanted the battery life - almost swayed by USB comms on Holux tho.
Either way you get a good senistive GPS.
pdamods.com have some nice mounts with built in sirf III gps for anyone who is interested (and some without).
One question for anyone out there who has used it. External GPS app doesnt work for me. I access GPS direct. Anyone have this working ?

I couldn't find any, either.

Yeah i did find your tread after posting mine, and just commented on it, do u have a how to or anything?

P.S feels good im not the only crazy on the "needs" the gel buds
Why do that? just get the wired remote and use regular headphones?
I have the original HTC remote and it's awesome, has all the controls you need on it.
What wired remote? Link?

do that remote work with the TP2? i heard a lot of bad things about it. One that it only work with WMP(window media player). Enough said :|
http://cgi.ebay.com/Handsfree-Remot...535172?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4398de9e44
^^^ thats a knock off of the HTC one, i like the concept but would just want one with just the remote not the mic... might interfere with my bose headphone that has a mic build in
One of the reasons I bought the TG01 was its slim design and big screen - still gets attention, especially if I am using TomTom or watching a movie.
With WM6.5, SPB Mobile Shell with Mobilesense, a Mugen 1300mAh battery, 16GB sd card, TomTom and CoPilot, MS Voice Command and of course coreplayer, the phone is pretty much perfect now - yes a 3.5mm headphone socket would be a help but I use motorola bluetooth headphones. And there are all the other apps that xda developers have been kind enough to make. It took a while but I would say this as good as the HD2 now....
So, it's been a year since I bought the phone from Orange for £120 and I have to say I like it more now than when I bought it
What next, time I tried out either a WP7 or Android rom I guess, which is the best way to go - any opinions?
Love it... BUT..

I love your excitement about TG01 and glad there are owners who share the same feeling about this beast, however, your question is already discussed before on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854332 - you might find it helpful to go through that thread first and then put your input in there?!

There has been so many negative posts and threads about the TG01 that I just wanted to tell everyone that with some patience and help from the xda developers, is is finally a phone that is as god as (or better) than the others out there.

Such fun, LOL. Great app. Thanks for sharing.
I have speak to it assistant ans Jeannie on my phone. both work great. I use volume+ for my sounds needs. it dramatically increases speaker volume and quality. you can do the same with headphones or BT headset also.
How is dsp manager listed in Market I don't see it or I am just overlooking it.

Been using Speak-to-it for about 6 months now, and it is really good and getting better all the time. I have emailed with questions and requests for features and while their response time isn't necessarily the greatest, when they do respond they actually give you solutions that work.
+1 for Speak-to-it
Speak to it is great, I just wish it had the Iris UI...eventually Android will have built in "Majel" AKA Google Assistant though, and it should one up Siri.

Siri is like Legos. A child's toy that anyone can have fun with.
Reality is that it is still a toy. I have watched my buddies mess with it, repeat their requests, get pissed, yell at it, etc.
I haven't seen a real world use as unreliable as it is.
So, clones would be like Duplo blocks?

+1 to that! Last night i was in the car looking for Rite Aid and my friend was like "imma ask Siri" i started laughing. When she said "where is the closest rite aid" Siri literally could not understand what she was asking. She tried several times before i had enough and used googles speech search "Navigate to Rite Aid" and it immediately gave me turn by turn directions to rite aid. Just to be an ass i kept closing it and searching over and over again and never had a "I don't know" problem LOL .... but Siri worked when she had to call her mom to complain about how much siri sucked LMAO
Never mind.i figured it out
