Treo 650 & Bluetooth - Page 4

Ella C SRT · 09-21-2005, 03:42 AM

I rock the "Sprint brand pocket pc" ('cause they're my service provider) /Audiovox 6600. AMAZING phone, great screen... stealthy qwerty AND stylus! I'm on AIM allllllll the time.
My only complaints with the car/phone is that once every so often I'll have to reset the blutooth connection because it disappears...
Other than that, I think it might be my affinity for shoving it in my bag and throwing it around, but the touch screen is so big that it ends up opening the phone program and calling random people.
That and, while I'm on AIM, missed calls don't even register. My friends don't know the meaning of voicemail, so hearing "...but I called you!" is starting to be a pain.

Edit: Funny story: Last time I tried setting it up, I was only paying half assed attention and the next thing I know, the car's going "I think you said Espanol" and started speaking completely in Spanish. Contrary to popular belief, fighting with UConnect-en-Espanol and cruising down the highway at illegal speeds DON'T mix. hah.

Yeah, I have the same phone and it's great. As soon as I start my car the phone turns on. I have to be careful that no buttons are pressed accidently otherwise all kinds of programs open up. Funny how when UConnect fails to recognize a command, it automatically thinks you want to change to Spanish. It's happened to me a few times.

I have a question. We all know UConnect will pair with up to 7 phones. I plan on having UConnect in my next truck in 2 years. Will these phones pair with 2 different UConnect systems so I can go from one vehicle to another?

When I start the UConnect program on my phone, it lists all the set up and immediately available ways to connect- that should include more than one car.

Taken by phone outside of one of the Engineering Campus buildings today:
Okay, I was parked across the street, and I pulled into a bus stop for the sake of the pic.... shoot me

I haven't even played around with the camera yet as I have a digital SLR. Not sure what you mean by UConnect listing all the setup. When I start the car, it just says UConnect ready or something like that.

I bought a 1GB SD card for mine so I could upload some videos, spreadsheets etc. on it & that's pretty cool. BTW, there's a new version of Microsoft ActiveSync out, 3.8 I believe.

On my phone I open the start menu> programs > bluetooth manager. It has an icon that says 'Hands-free connection to UCon (1)' and another that says 'Hands-free connection to UConnect,' each for a different car...

Oh, I get it! You already have it set up for two cars. That's great to hear. Thanks. I'm not going for the aftermarket UConnect for my truck, so I'll wait 2 years and get the factory one for my new truck.

Update: The Treos were a popular topic of discussion, and in case you guys haven't seen something about the announcement, the new ones are going to run a Windows OS. As much as everyone whines about how much M sucks, these should end up more convenient than the current product...

the treo 650 from verizon works fine with the factory u-connect on my 300.

I also have the same issues with the battery and signal indicator.

i would be very interested if someone can come up with a fix for this.

Some research I did last week turned up the fact that Johnson Controls makes the bluetooth hands-free cell phone system that is in both the 300 and the Honda/Acura. The Acura website has a wealth of information including all of the features that work or don't work. For the Verizon Treo 650, look at http://www.handsfreelink.com/dev/fin...=matrix&pid=71, which shows that signal strength works, but battery level doesn't.

It's interesting that the single Sprint phone that supports all of the Bluetooth features isn't even available from Sprint anymore - the SE T608. Way to go Sprint.
