Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / January 2007Cheapest mobile with BT and loud ring?
Hi All, The only problem with my trusty 3510i is no BT so I can't use it on the move in the car. What would be the cheapest / durable / long standby / loud ring tone and reasonably large (big hands) mobile out there atm please (off contract and ideally on T-Mob or easily un lockable)? All the best ..

You can't beat the best..! Don't bother with BT though, get the 'proper' CARK-91.

I was talking to a mate this morning who still uses one (but is having problems with a Jabra BT headset and my neighbour who might have his old one up for long term loan ;-) Googling about it did seem to have it's fair share of problems though .. ?

Some versions of the 6310i firmware had bluetooth issues, but the latest (last) version fixed it. I've never had problems when I've used BT with the CK-1W on my motorcycle (nowhere to fit a CARK91 cradle..!)

Ok thanks .. that's V5.?? > I've never had problems when I've used BT with >the CK-1W on my motorcycle (nowhere to fit a CARK91 cradle..!) Or get the phone up yer helmet (ouch) ;-) I'm not sure my Autocom has a phone interface? All the best .. T i m >>> Googling about it did seem to have it's fair share of >>> problems though .. ?

Change from jealous to sad to reply. >>>>> Googling about it did seem to have it's fair share of >>>>> problems though .. ?

Clearly previous versions are not fit for use, and so the manufacturers responsibility. http://www.mobiles.co.uk/clubnok.htm Steve Terry >Or take it to any Club Nokia level 4 centre <shrug> > who will reflash it for free, >if you complain about bluetooth vulnerability >V7.00 is anti bluetooth bluesnarfing. That sounds good. Failing that I do have a 'tame' phone shop who might do it for me ;-) >Clearly previous versions are not fit for use, >and so the manufacturers responsibility. Indeed so Steve! ;-) All the best ..

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >And if you want to get one - >http://www.retrofone.com/product_info.php?products_id=94 Thanks for that Steve .. I got mine from 'next door' ;-) Not plopped my T-Mob PAG SIM in from my 3510i as yet (so may need to net unlock it, the Virgin SIM in there is working so that tells us it's already ok on T-Mob?) .. not sure how I'm gonna get all the phonebook entries from that to the 6310i? Actually I'm not sure where it is right now .. I know it's in the house somewhere as my PC is currently connected to it ;-) My current T-Mob PAYG is old and on the 'Standard' tariff (so the automated lady tells me). Would that age SIM have a lower limitation re phonebook entries to a current one (ie so should I just get a new SIM on 'Everyone' and keep the old phone / SIM going for a while)? All the best ..

V7 I think, but I'm using 5.51 with no problems. > > I've never had problems when I've used BT with > > the CK-1W on my motorcycle (nowhere to fit a CARK91 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I'm not sure my Autocom has a phone interface? Depends which Autocom box you have, mine does. Autocom make a box with a pair of matching transformers that connects between the two jacks on the car kit and the music input on the Autocom box. It works well, but I did have to make up a potential divider on the receive audio line, which was *very* loud even at the phone's lowest setting. People tell me they can't tell that I'm on the bike, even at motorway speeds. Ivor >[snip] > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >V7 I think, but I'm using 5.51 with no problems. Ok, well as / when my mate digs it out for me I'll see how we go. >> > I've never had problems when I've used BT with >> > the CK-1W on my motorcycle (nowhere to fit a CARK91 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Depends which Autocom box you have, mine does From memory ..

Ok .. sounds like a handy setup ... >People tell me they can't tell that I'm on the bike, even at motorway >speeds. Amazing when you think about it .. considering some folk can't be heard properly when standing still! All the best .. n ride safe ... ;-) T i m |
