Bluetooth With Treo 700w And 2006 Is

[webdev]

Does anyone have a Treo 700w and a 2006 IS with bluetooth? I am able to make calls but some static with connection as well as no signal strength, no battery level and no caller ID on the GPS screen. Is anyone else experiencing these issues with this phone?

Thats because of Verizon blocking Bluetooth data exchange on their phones. Nothing you'll be able to do about that other than switch to Cingular or T Mobile.

They do that on there normal phones...Its kinda hard to do with a WindowsMobile5 thing but they did manage to disable DUN.

I paried a friends Verizon Razr v3 and everything worked perfectly. But no luck with the Treo 700w. Maybe time for a new phone and/or provider?

I currently have a V710 through Verizon and my contract is up in May.

I was considering the idea of going to the Razr through Verizon since I am very happy with their service in my area, but I hate the idea of how they hack the Bluetooth in their phones.

They only do this because they can then charge you for file downloads through their 'Get It Now' service.

I've always been aware of the Verizon/Bluetooth thing but didn't think about the issue with it sending caller info to the Nav screen.

If this feature doesn't work through Verizon's hacked up Bluetooth, I'll be changing back to Cingular. <_<

Scott you might find this useful. I came across this the other day. Is shows what features are compatible with what bluetooth car kits for verizon phones.

I have to give cudos to verizon to supply this information to consumers. I have not found any other cell phone provider that gives this information out.

NOTE: the Razr does fully work with the 2006 IS from what i tested. I have thinking about getting rid of my Treo 700w and getting a Razr thru verizon.

Nice, thanks for the info.

If Verizon is leaving enough in tact for the navigation screen to function properly, I'm happy.
