Does anyone know if I can use a T3 connected to both a bluetooth phone
(for internet connectivity) and a bluetooth keyboard (such as the new
JavoEDGE one -
http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/pr [...] board.jsp)
at the same time? Or can I only have one bluetooth device connected to
the T3 at a time?

Thanks,
Ethan

When I recently asked this question, the answer was a disappointing "no."

If you do a search for "simultaneous" on the following page:

Thanks!

I followed the link and looked at the discussion thread, and found a
few people explaining why it shouldn't work, and a couple posts
indicating that theoretically it *should* work.
Has anyone actually tried it?

Thanks,
Ethan

For anyone who was wondering, I can confirm that this does not work
(connecting to a cell phone and keyboard both by bluetooth at the same
time) - at least, using the JavoEdge bluetooth keyboard and the T3.
With this combination, connected to the keyboard, when I tried to then
connect to the cell phone I got a "serial port in use" error.

Based on the PalmInfoCenter thread Alan Hoyle mentioned, though, it is
possible that the Stowaway one might work differently, though (if/when
they support PalmOS).

I have just discovered similar results with my HS820 Bluetooth
headset paired with my T2 or T3, and trying to make a call from the Palm
over Bluetooth, to my Nokia 3600 Bluetooth-enabled phone. I can't.

You can't have the headset connected to the Palm as an audio
device, initiate a phone call from the Palm, and have it transfer the
headset to the phone.

You also can't pair the headset with the phone, and use the Palm
to dial the phone over Bluetooth either.

Very disappointing. It seems these devices have 1-to-1 relationship,
and no more.

"timepilot84" has given the correct answer in this thread: it cannot
work in Palm OS 5.x, even if it's theorically possible. It will work in
OS 6, though...

Where did you find information about this working in OS 6? I'd love to
update our Palm Cobalt page with this information. Thanks...

At the (palm)source. I've checked my archives, to be sure, because it
dates back from june...

Well, it's not exactly a big deal... It's just a consequence of the
Cobalt architecture, better suited for network and communications.
