Palm Tungsten/Nokia 6230

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Bluetooth connection does not work for SMS and dialing. No immediate
plans for a driver from Palm.

Just a warning. Palm seem to be letting things slip these
days....i'll be buying an iPaq if they keep this up.

Yes, and it works for mail and web but not for sms and dailing

That's what i would have thought but there is something non-standard
in the Nokia implementation - it goes off into 'remote sim mode' which
is something to do with a new Nokia car kit.

Maybe. I suspect it's Nokia who have done something odd but that
doesnt excuse Palm's attitude - the 6230 is only the third or fourth
Nokia with Bluetooth and it's bound to sell in huge numbers. Palm
need to keep ahead of the market - waiting for enough people to
complain before thinking about writing a driver is just going to
alienate their customers.
