Bluetooth Headset Concept

what a waste. if your (cough cough) company makes the attachment to the phone seamlessly, i must raise some hats for you. Because without duct tape or super-clue it cant be done. You think the stereo-jack is holding it? Just look at the phone before considering this kinda shoit. But for the idea = thumbs up. Just realize it cant be done without a packbag full of stuff to enable that "forgotten" audio bt + battery coverage.

This is the idea already implemented by companies like Plantronics for their BT adapters for non-BT phones (in a slightly different way).

These devices are licenced in some countries, but not the UK, you can buy the adapter in the US, but cannot get one shipped to the UK.

It is indeed an excellent idea.

Mr Bluetooth - as this device already exists, it already overcomes the forgotten" audio bt + battery coverage issue.

😃

is the jack plug on the top just a standard audio output then?

or is it more complicated than that

I don't think so mattw

I've been following the Jabra headset. They have a 2.5mm adaptor for their headset, but are developing one specifically for Nokia.

Good news is that they are planning to launch soon in UK.

You're right about the battery coverage the adaptor has own battery, but adaptor doubles as stand for headset so they don't need a packbag for the BT audio bit.

Unfortunately it is too big though to just clip on phone as suggested

Is there anybody out there that can answer the following question?

Is the 7650's inability to use Audio BT a hardware or software issue?

I remember seeing a thread about f/w 4.39, some reference to BT, but it didn't suggest we'd get audio BT (even my old Ericsson T39 has audio BT!)

What ARE they waiting for??

the idea illustrated at the top could be furthur attatched/secured to the phone by integrating it with the SIM card cover.

just an idea.
