Darla-tastic: Bluetooth and Frozen Bubble

3 replies · 2,644 views · Started 16 July 2007

Thanks to Darla for making my Monday morning. It seems that the addictive game Frozen Bubble is at last available for S60 3rd Edition - and Darla's been trying a wide range of Bluetooth accessories while away on holiday, she gives a good overview.

Read on in the full article.

What a nice summary of bt devices!

I still have my N-Gage. It was my first "smartphone". It�s a classic. My teenage son still has his QD as a "daily" phone. He is starting to get bored though. I don�t get games for him anymore now that he�s got a wireless pc, ps-2, wii and ds-lite. He�ll lobby for the new "N-Gage" I�m 100% sure when it comes out. That�s why he isn�t protesting now.

And I can confirm that the digital pen is pretty neat too except it�s expensive at 125� (over a year ago). I draw quick sketches and send them via mms sometimes and other phones via bt such as 6230, 9300i and even QD. I�ve got a SU-1B pen. Darla�s SU-27W looks the same meaning it�s still bulky. But yes, it�s cool.

I�m so sad my N93 doesn�t support stereo bt headsets. If only!
My daughter has an SE walkman phone which supports bt stereo. Thing is her phone is worth a quarter what I paid for mine.

Darla, you ran different bt devices at the same time? That in itself is amazing. Bt has come a long way from the days of N-Gage!

A2DP (the technical name for the stereo bluetooth standard) is becoming extremely common, even on the cheapest bluetooth phones, and I'd expect to see it on pretty much every new bluetooth model by next year.

I recently tried a Nokia N800 internet tablet with a bluetooth phone as its modem and a bluetooth keyboard as its input device. Instant internet-enabled laptop! 😊

Krisse... I totally left out the N800!!! Lol. But this is just to show and demonstrate that YES BT has come a long way in regards to connection limits.

In doing all this I never had any of the devices pause or close any of the connections. Now it would be cool if they made a compatible app for the digital pen to work with the N800.
