Blue Tooth Questions

[sarah and hicham 3]

Those things are so annoying. I hate it when someone is looking straight at you talking and you look at them and say "what?" like 10 times then you feel like an idiot because they're having a full blown conversation with someone else.

Can I make a request? If you're not using it, please remove it.

I wasted 50 bucks on a motorola bluetooth headset.

Results: Static, dropped calls and a headache.

The wire type hands free is my choice.

Um, you know that "Bluetooth" is a *system* right? It refers to the way devices communicate with each other? You seem to think it's synonymous with the headset.

Gareth has a Bluetooth phone, headset, Palm, and connector for the computer. With them, he can (as well as talking on the phone with the headset):

1. Send pictures from his phone to his Palm or the computer.

2. Write text messages on his Palm and send them via his cell phone.

3. Use Skype via our computer from anywhere in the apartment.

4. Use the cell phone as a dial-up modem and surf the web on the Palm even if there's no wireless access.

5. Transfer files from his Palm to the computer or vice-versa from anywhere in the apartment.

i was going to say that.....Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras and video game consoles via a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency.

You are talking about Bluetooth headsets for cell phones(there are such for computers as well). and yes it is very usefull but very shortrange.

My screen says that my settings are Bluetooth: On. I have no idea what this means.

I don't think I've ever seen the headset.

Can't believe I totally missed this boat...

I have seen, and I own one.

It is uncomfortable, ugly, not really useful and it looks like you are a pretentious ####### for walking around with that thing in your ear (sorry people, but i live in a third world country)

ETA: And that thing on your computer, honey, is just saying that computer is ready to accept connections from other bluetooth devices.

i don't have a bluetooth headset, my husband does though. Both headset and laptop.

He used it a lot to talk to his family in the US via Skype, walking around in our home, doing stuff or just sitting on the balkony. (His laptop has a 100m range and that was fine for our apartment)

He basically uses it every time a call will most likely last longer than a couple of minutes because he has a sore shoulder and holding a phone for longer hurts his back and neck- before the bluetooth thing he used a normal wired headset all the time.

However- fortunatelly- he does NOT walk around with it if it's not in use. And 99% of the time he uses it at work anyway.

So- as long as he takes it off when he's not using it- I don't mind

I don't like the bug thing on the ear either, though. (And I think it looks nearly like a slug, especially when they're shiny which doesn't make it better)
