RE: [OT] car bluetooth kit?



It does.  For the Treo it worked perfectly, for the E61 I had to flash
the
firmware (a slightly tricky procedure as it requires bluetooth from a
laptop, and has a habit of blue-screening just as it's completing).  TBH
though, I don't really use many of the 'features' - occasionally voice
dialling, but everything else I do from the handset (which is mounted in a
cradle).  The only reason we went with Bluetooth rather than wired
(considering we all have cradles anyway) was the multi-platform
compatibility, rather than being tied to one brand.

I've had S/E & Motorola BT car kits in the past, neither were as good
as the
Parrot - the S/E, in particular, had dreadful (i.e. non-existent) echo
cancellation.  Can't remember the model number now, it was a couple of
years
ago....

Thanks Pete, I've found reviews on the Sony Ericsson kit but not the
parrot's.

Does it seem to support all the functions of the phones you've tried - the
Sony is a bit dodgy with some phones apparently although it does have voice
and voice digit dialling :)

Cheers,

Paul.
