Do you know that you can send pics and other stuff to Nokia 7650 using your T68i via Bluetooth. Try it. It's cool. |

OK, a couple of questions. Firstly, is the Nokia 7650 upgradeable so it can work with a BT handsfree? I was planning on getting one, but if it's not there's no point as I've ordered a Bluespoon.
Secondly is there anything in the BT specification to allow either conversation over BT, or SMS/chat over BT. I appreciate it's not currently available on handsets, but with something like the 7650/P800 I guess it may be possible to write an app that could do this?

i think conversation is impossible but if you just want to send a message you could write it as a note and send that

the 7650 does not support headset profile with the limited range of BT adding a messaging platform would be a vast waste of resources. 10 metres? You could write on paper quicker.

Well yes, but I'm sure there are applications for it. Chatting up a stranger anonymously... and I'm sure it would be incredibly popular with kids, especially as it would be free. Which is probably why it hasn't been included 
P.S. just had a thought which kinda proves my point - look at in-office emailing. People often much prefer to email someone 2 metres away from them than talk. I think short-range sms might well be the same.

There is support for messaging in the Object Push Profile. It says:
"Messaging applications must support data exchange using the vMessage content format. ... If a device does not have a messaging
application it does not have to support the vMessage content format."
It seems that SMS, MMS and email does not qualify as a messaging application  , as the T68i does not allow to send these via Bluetooth.
So I have not seen anything use this 
@Peanut
Yes, sending messages over bluetooth would be usefull. Ie. when you got in range of your house, the fridge could send you a message, that it was out of milk. Or your PC could forward your mail to your phone.
When you stop by your friend, who is unfortunately out, you could leave a message on his house's BT access point.
How about leaving a message in you own house's acces point for your kids when they get home? They'll probably notice that before a piece of paper on the floor (and it could contain a new ringtone for their mobiles, to keep them happy)
I think we just have to crank up the imagination a little here
@edmondtay
The BT specification has a "Cordless Telephony profile" for use at home over normal telephone lines. This could be bluetooth only phones, bluetooth and cellular, and it could be a PC. All connecting to a Plain Old Telephone (with Bluetooth, maybe not so plain)
BT also has an "Intercom Profile" for use between phones.
However none of the current phones on the market support any of that... Its really quite sad.
I hear it might be because the mobile carriers are afraid of loosing money on both profiles, and are pressuring the phone companies.
Don't really believe it though. |

ok....i got into bluetooth coz they are all competible with each other
basically i wanted to be able to check my mail on my palm with my mobile.
I had a pretty rare phone (hyundia 610e - which is actually CDMA), and i had a visor platnium. There was absoluatly no way that i could connect them.....i could not find the right cables ANYWHERE
so i ended up buying a t39 - yes i had to change network - and then bought a SONY clie PDA - for which i had to buy a f**** expensive BT adpater for (they're only out in japan ATM) - and now everything works fine!

Nokia 7650 doesn't support bluetooth headsets. It doesn't have a bluetooth headset profile. It actually pales in comparison with P800 or even with T68/T68i.

Bhaal - very interesting post.
On a phone such as the 7650 is the software versatile enough to be able to program something like an intercom mode, or is it only possible to program low level front-end stuff such as games?

Yes, it was from the Danish Viking King Harald Bluetooth, the son of Gorm. The Bluetooth technology was pioneered in Sweden in 1994.
Two little known facts about Harald are that when his father died he became gormless, and he was one of the pioneers of 10th century short-distance wireless communication. His horns actually contained radio transmitters.
Sorry It's Thursday afternoon and I've got tomorrow off. The first part is true though!
