I have a BT car kit, which connects on me starting my car up. It's great (well, its okay, I don't think people can hear me as well as when I had a fixed car kit...but its nice and easy :icon14: )
Anyway... I recently upgraded my SatNav to Tom Tom 3 with Traffic updates plugin (fantastic gadget by the way 😎 ) but it requires a BT connection to my 6600 to download the small traffic updates from time to time.
Now, as I'm sure you are aware, the phone can only handle 1 BT connection at a time, so it's the car kit or the Traffic update... :frown:
Does anyone know of the quickest way to switch between BT connections? At present I have Bluetooth linked to my right menu button, but is there a quicker way still? The ideal thing would be I connect to my iPaq and when someone calls I press a button to connect to the car kit.
Anything like this possible?
What seems ideal is an app that lets you pair the car kit to the ipaq instead of the phone and uses the ipaq as passthrough, which may be what you were inferring.
Essentially you're looking for an app that goes to Menu>Connect>Bluetooth>Paired Devices>Options>select/key>Connect which is possible and may already exist.
It does beg the question..if your car kit is set to automatically hook up to your phone, what happens if you just drop the con using your ipaq? Will the car kit then pair to the phone in a timely fashion?
Going w/ your settup I'd be thinking different phone since it's pretty dedicated.

Sorry, how do you mean? Are there any phones that allow multiple BT connections?
Yes, I had wondered about passing the phone calls through the iPaq, but thought that might get a little complex. It would be ideal though. My phone could stay in my pocket then...

Ok, I thought there were and some of the other 60 series or the t61x se's that did, but now when I search everyone is pushing the simultaneous gprs/voice or voice/data. I beleive that with 36xx nokias you can (on a mac), be connected to the mac and dial via bt and have the headset paired to the phone and have that work, but there may be some quick handoff involved (haven't tried it). I thought one of the gripes about the 6600 was the single bt connection. I know that it is a 60 series feature (60 series specs do allow for multiple cons), but it is hardware independent. So, I'm not sure and I'm still looking.
Did you try looking for ipaq software? I keep coming up w/ Copilot Live w/ no screen or info on voice calls. What's up with iPAQ GSM/GPRS wireless expansion pack? (not that I'd want to abandon the 6600 in my case.
Did see this http://nokiafree.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-64481.html If you want to use tomtom on the 6600.
