Re: Bluetooth questions

["david_dabs" <david_dabs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

I have an XDA II and wanted myself the nokia headset for it,  I have
heard now from many sources including the link that the nokia
firmware will not allow the nokia headset to stay associated with a
non nokia device, apparantly they will bond OK but after a few
minutes will disconnect (someone suggested this was deliberate from
nokia) there is also alot of issues with BT headsets on the XDA 2
the only one Im told works reliably is the jabra headset.  Most of
shops have been crap with the 'buy it and if it doesnt work bring it
back' approach.

Have a read over on the xda developers site theres usually some good
info there : http://www.xda-developers.com
