Blue Tooth Questions

[CarolineM 0]

I was at a conference for work and I'd say 1 out of every 5 people walked in and left their BT on the WHOLE day!! Even answering it when it rang and talking on it DURING the workshop!

I have one, but don't use it.

Aren't people the least bit concerned about constantly exposing their head to microwaves?

I bet most of those same people wouldn't put a cigarette in their mouth.

I have a bluetooth phone (thank you Mohammed!) but not one of those headsets. My car is bluetooth compatible so it is essentially a huge, expensive headset

The survey is phrased almost as though the thing stuck in your ear is a blue tooth. It's a Bluetooth headset.

I have a Bluetooth camera phone. I use Bluetooth as the cheap way to get pictures off the phone and onto my computer, since it avoids paying the cell phone company any fee for picture e-mail. I also use Bluetooth to transfer .mp3 files from iTunes to the phone, so I can use the songs as ring tones, again without paying the cell phone company a cent.

I also use a Bluetooth headset sometimes when I'm in the car, the same way I used to use my wired headset on my older (non-Bluetooth) phone. I don't typically wear it in public.

Interesting trivia: Bluetooth got its name from a tenth century king, Harald Bluetooth of Denmark and Norway. He was known for getting different tribes to talk to each other -- hence the name Bluetooth is appropriate for the modern wireless technology that gets different electronic devices to talk to each other.

Blue tooth is used for more than just wireless headsets.

I too use my bluetooth to transfer files between phone and computer, and sometimes from computer to computer. Those people that feel they need to constantly wear their headset to talk to other people, well, they worry me.

Aye.... I have a bluetooth mouse. Printers can also be Bluetooth, as well as keyboards and other such things. My Mom's computer that I built for her has an MSI motherboard with onboard Bluetooth. Also has a Bluetooth USB Key. I can use that to connect to her computer when it's here rather than plugging in another Cat5 cable.

As for the Bluetooth headsets.... I have a Razr. I have no choice. Can't get a wired headset for it. I can't stand bluetooth earpieces. Ergo, I have no "hands-free" for my phone.

1) You look like a damn Borg walking around with the side of your skull blinking bright blue.

2) You look like you're talking to yourself.

3) People always ask you "What?" when you aren't talking to them, because they are unaware of your super-geekhood. Probably because the blinking side of your cranium is turned the other way.

I just successfully paired my phone to my car! I can talk handsfree and no headset.

That's so true. I hate that. I always feel like such an idiot. The person usually looks at me like, "You loser, I wasn't talking to you, I'm such a busy important person."

You can transfer files and mp3's from pc's to them? I never knew that.

I must do research. Hubby's getting one for christmas.
