Can some genius come up with a simple answer to this: using the Dell [or other] bluetooth enabled PDA to link with a bluetooth handset [such as the SE T610] without having to use a Bluetooth headset. In particular I use the Dell with a Bluetooth GPS system - which, in the UK, works close to perfectly - although fly-overs confuse it no end... anyway... this kit is installed in a clever PDA holder that incorporates a powered speaker system so that the voice instructions for the Sat Nav system can be heard above the noise of breathing quietly - which at 70MPH [or more] seems to exceeds the abilities of the Dell PDA [and other's I]ve tested. So, to get back to the question - ideally the phone can remain in my pocket... or the boot of the car... or where ever [within bluetooth range] I've left it and forgotten all about it and the PDA can be used as a phone. This would simply be using the bluetooth connection with no need for VOIP etc. Certianly in the UK there is absolutely no advantage in using VOIP for calls within the country as calling plans or even pre-pay [with a few odd execeptions] treat all calls as national calls.<br><br>So... who has the simple answer to this problem???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ROBERT PRENTICE]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/how-to-use-a-pocket-pc-pda-as-a-wifiphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/how-to-use-a-pocket-pc-pda-as-a-wifiphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've used Skype on a hp5500 with a motorola BT headset and unless you are plugged into the mains you can only talk for a while.

On the other hand I have tried Skype via my iPAQ 4150 and it sounds like you're talking and listening inside a tunnel. Is that because I am not using a BT headset, just a regular headset? Or does anyone know from experience that Vonage connections sound crisper than Skype? Lastly, for all the excitement I tend to agree with one of the previous postings that my trusty old Sony Ericsson T637 cellphone is just as handy, much clearer, much more juice in the battery department, and so why bother with VoIP via your PDA?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[M Leiter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/how-to-use-a-pocket-pc-pda-as-a-wifiphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/how-to-use-a-pocket-pc-pda-as-a-wifiphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[I happened to come across this page last night while searching for a softphone to work with wifi, and my vonage. I got rid of my cell because the taxes were as much as the service. <br><br>I have had skype on my pda before, but i was never satisfied with the quality. Last time I searched for software with pda and vonage, not much turned up.  <br><br>So i wanted to post to let anyone know, that i was able to get softphone to work fine on my ipaq 2210 bluetooth pda running pc2003. People say I sound better on the softphone then i do on my phone plugged into the internet via vonage. lol<br><br>I'm going out to try softphone with bluetooth, cause i can :)  My wifi adapter is an ambicom wL1100-cf<br><br>Why cant vonage offer this fix? because they still say you cant put it on a pda.  unless its not for the avg user yet. just good enough for us geeks.<br><br>-peace]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TheGreatDL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/how-to-use-a-pocket-pc-pda-as-a-wifiphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/how-to-use-a-pocket-pc-pda-as-a-wifiphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12892165~mode=flat<br>Settings are as follows: <br>install xten 2.2 for pocket pc <br>www.xten.com<br>once installed & opened:<br>click<br>Options>system settings>sip proxies<br><br> Display Name: The phone number for the softphone account with the 1 (11 digits) <br> User Name: The phone number for the softphone account with the 1 (11 digits) <br> Auth User: The phone number for the softphone account with the 1 (11 digits) <br> Password: (your password) <br> Domain: sphone.vopr.vonage.net <br> SIP Proxy: sphone.vopr.vonage.net:5061 <br> Outb Proxy: sphone.vopr.vonage.net:5061<br>Sip proxy: 216.115.25.198<br>There's no outbound proxy <br>Check box "enabled"<br> http://support.xten.net/viewtopic.php?t=1092<br>Tip: echo can be elimminated by doing tthe following<br>options/advanced/audio....check the box labled "high echo sensitivity".<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stephany]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/how-to-use-a-pocket-pc-pda-as-a-wifiphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/how-to-use-a-pocket-pc-pda-as-a-wifiphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes Brandit.

Waiting on my internet phone router to come from http://www.sipphone.com/ then plan on getting a wireless router to hook my voip router into and install a power inverter to rund divices in my car, then pull up to a free wifi area and try to make a call out. A bit crude at first if it works it should not be too hard to conceal your devices though.<br>Let me know if you know of anybody who has tried this already...
