Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / March 2005WTF are the SPRINT BLUETOOTH phones?
WTF are the SPRINT BLUETOOTH phones? > WTF are the SPRINT BLUETOOTH phones? Bluetooth is an electronic technology that the whole industry has been working on. It allows different electronic gadgets to talk to each other directly without being connected to each other using wireless airwaves. It's not just for cellphones but a lot of other things like test equipment, etc. Hmm, maybe someday your tv can tell the refrigerator to open the door as the commercial comes on and get the master a cold one.

Two listed at http://www.sprint.com/business/products/categories/phonesAndAccessories.jsp plus there are Bluetooth adapters for over 20 models of cell phones in general. I don't want an adapter. I want a real BT phone and I know what Bluetooth is GK I don't think Sprint know. BT has been out for years!!!!!!

Actually, the LG - 325 is a new phone. One of the first that will have the capability to do OTA firmware upgrades. It's been rumored that future upgrades will add more BT functionality ... Bob > It's been rumored that future > upgrades will add more BT functionality ... it'll never happen. Sprint isn't about to lose money on blingtones & picture mail. /tommy >>It's been rumored that future >>upgrades will add more BT functionality ... > it'll never happen.

It was a great phone. Great screen, great design, very light, good battery for a phone of that size, but it was so limited. I could not even exchange pic or tranfer numbers from my iPAQ to my phone. When i did dail from iPAQ to the phone it never connected properly and the calls would be dropped. Had I known that possible upgrades would be available i might have not returned it within the 14 days allowed. Now, my question is this... Can I return the 2nd phone i got after i returned the LG phone if it's still withing the 14 days of buying it? In orther words, does the 14 day satisfactions guarantee restart every time you pick a new phone? And last but not least, does anyone out there actually believe that the upgrades are going to be available and that there will be increased capabilities between lets say an iPAQ (pocketpc device) and the LG phone? I wish this wasn't so complicated! > > > Two pieces of crap OLD as phones and one is a PAD in phone disguise. > > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > I wish this wasn't so complicated! You might be able to return it, but I'm not sure whether the 14 days applies for each phone, or all phones one might try ... As for the future of the LG phone and it's programming, all it's been is rumors about Bluetooth, save that SPCS has said the phone has the capability for firmware upgrades. http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=5181 . You may want to direct an email off to them from the web site to see whether they can provide any clarification on both points. Bob Bob As a follow up, and because my daugher uses an LG-325, I sent the author of the PR an email. Received an email back within 5 minutes. Here's her reply on top, along with my primary inquiry on the bottom. The software upgrades you reference are not to add new features/capabilities to a phone but to correct software issues that are detected. If a software issue is detected, it will be pushed to the phone automatically. Thank you for your business. Laura Tigges Media Relations Sprint Wk: 913-794-3604 PCS: 913-485-3114 -----Original Message----- From: Robert Smith Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 11:08 AM To: Tigges, Laura J [CC] Subject: Question on the Sprint PCS LG-325 phone Importance: High Cust: XXXXXX XXXX Acct: XXXXXXXXX Dear Ms. Tigges: I'm emailing you are you were the author of a press release dated Jan. 6th - http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=5181 . My daughter uses an LG-325 on our account. I understand that this phone, along with others, will have the capability for firmware upgrades OTA. My question is, will SPCS be offering a firmware upgrade to improve the Bluetooth capabilities, so that my daughter will have the capability to sync her phonebook, pictures and paid for ringers to her laptop? bluetooth is a friggen joke that has been worked on for years and it will never catch on in the US like it has in other countries. By the time they "perfect" bluetooth other technologies will appear that are better..oh wait that has already happened. > WTF are the SPRINT BLUETOOTH phones? > By the time they "perfect" bluetooth other technologies will appear that are > better..oh wait that has already happened. phones use something better than bluetooth for OBEX and wireless headsets?? /tommy There are 2 that I know of. I just got one of them (LG 325) and immediately "paired" it up with my car's Bluetooth system. Real simple to do. Now all I do is use my car's BT phone system to place/answer all calls while I'm in the car. Great audio, too, with the car's audio system, plus I get the caller ID read out on my display. > WTF are the SPRINT BLUETOOTH phones?
