I was just wonding if it is possible to use bluetooth headset designed for
bluetooth enabled cell phones, to work with a bluetooth enabled pocket PCs?
If it does, how well does it work and how is the sound quality.
I guess the set back is that there is only one ear piece. any sites or linke
to point to?

thanks

Stev

Steve,

I have been wondering the same thing. Were I live all these gadgets
cost a fortune so I haven't come around buying one just to find out it
might not even work.

Please keep me updated in case you should buy / borrow one and test
it.

Most of the Bluetooth enabled IPAQs will operate a Bluetooth Headset. In
some models you will need a registry hack which is well documented in the
internet. Search and you will find it.

Pocket PC Phone Edition models based on the Himalaya design
(XDA2/MDA2/iMate/QTEK2020) will be able to use the headset only for the
phone functions, and with limited support.

Most of the other Pocket PCs will not support headsets.

Since I had this ready for copy and paste:

The Bluetooth Headset Profile hack only works with units with the
Widcomm Bluetooth stack that some iPAQs use. You should change the
value in the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BtConfig\Servi
ces\0005\Enabled

from 0 to 1.

You can edit your registry with PHM Registry Editor, to be found at
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit .

As always with registry hacks: use at your own risk.
