@madness, you need to create a dial-up networking profile to use your T68 as a modem via bluetooth. |

Yes, I have used it with the GPRS of the T68  Although it's Globe's reception that is very erratic.. when I am able to get a good signal...speed is pretty decent.. I can average a normal 28.8 connection. Yahoo video conferencing is bearable. |

Managed to connect with T68i GPRS. The billionton USB Bluetooth is pretty simple to configure. |

It works well with my T68 & R310s w/ DBA-10. With the DBA-10, you don't need to pair it everytime you switch phones... the pairing is between the DBA-10 and the other device, not the phone it is connected to.
With regards to the HSP in the Billionton specs... it states (HSP READY), which means it currently doesn't support the headset profile... but it can. I emailed them already on any news regarding future driver updates for the HSP.
It really would be nice if I could use my BT headset for Windows audio.. mic/mono speaker... useful for vid-con, dictation, and voice commands.

Regarding the HSP profile, you'd have to wait until WIDCOM supports it..
The BillionTon, Tecom BT3030 (AKA Belkin BT USB), MSI MS-6967 use the WIDCOM BT stack for Windows.
I got two BillionTon's and they work great.. Got it working with both the
SocketCom Bluetooth CF card (115$) <-- uses SocketCom's DRAKAR BT stack for PPC.
and the
BELKIN Bluetooth CF (65$) <-- uses the PocketPC 2002 WIDCOM BT stack..

If you guys want to use the latest WIDCOM stack (ie. TDK 1.2.2.15 or the MSI 1.2.2.15) uninstall your current WIDCOM stack / restart / install the TDK 1.2.2.15 or the MSI 1.2.2.15 then download
http://www.pocketbuddy.com/files/Bluetooth/BTUSB.zip
unzip someplace
Plug the Billionton USB adapter in, then point it to where you extract the file.. |

I'll try to in the next few days..
In regards to HSP support, it works now with either the MSI or the TDK 1.2.2.15 WidCOM BT stack..
The proper bt audio drivers already comes with said packages but one needs to install the drivers manually..
For the MSI Bluetooth 1.2.2.15 drivers..
Retrieve and unzip the "data1.zip" file then point XP's add new hardware wizard by going to
Control Panel / Add Hardware / Yes, I have already connected the hardware / Add a new hardware device / Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) / Sound, video and game controllers / have disk
then point it to where you unzipped the "data1.zip" file..
It should show something like Bluetooth Audio Device, install.
Navigate to where you unzipped the "data1.zip" file, the right click on "headset.reg" <-- then click on merge..
Reboot and the HSP profile will now appear.
Let us know how it works as I don't have a BT headset

btw, the Billionton CF device is not available yet, it's in the final stages of validation and testing..
For a great CF Bluetooth card, check out Belkin CF PDA adapter which uses the WIDCOM BT stack for WinCE (doesn't support the HSP profile though, none of CF cards do at this time).

regarding "data1.zip", if you download the MSI Bluetooth Drivers (1.2.2.15) and extract the BT41.exe into a dir, you'll notice that there's a "data1.zip" file.. |

I believe it's only available with the 1.2.2.15 driver set. The Billionton USB BT shipped with the 1.2.2.9 driver set..
Uninstall your current WIDCOMM stack..
Install the MSI WidCOMM 1.2.2.15 BT stack
download the BTUSB.zip file from http://www.pocketbuddy.com/files/Bluetooth/BTUSB.zip
Point the unknown USB device to where you unzipped the "BTUSB.zip" file..
The WIDCOMM BT stack show how be installed and the BT device working..
Follow the directions I posted earlier (data1.zip) then you'll be able to click on your bluetooth neighborhood - pair up with the HeadSet device, drill down to the service then just hit connect.
I'm not sure how well it works as I don't have a headset..

I tried that... It can find my headset... it doesn't want to pair with the headset (but my headset paired with the PC...weird) It doesn't show up in the Bluetooth Places...
It can't find a compatible service... the Billionton Services doesn't include audio....not yet anyway...  |
