Axim X3i now offers Bluetooth

bkbroil · #1 02-26-2004, 01:12 AM

Dell is now offering their Axim X3i in Europe with Bluetooth built in. I guess this means it should be available in the US soon.
Do you have bluetooth functionality and what do you use it for? I for the life of me can't see any purpose to it. But, what do I know?

Any comments?

I use Bluetooth with several items>>a Sony T616 Cell Phone, a Jabra Free Speak 250 Headset, Sony H35H Headset,all of my Ipaqs (1945, 2215, and soon to purchase 4155), Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter(s). I'm an IT Director. So, I'm constantly on the go. I can use my contact list on the Ipaqs to call whomever via Bluetooth. I can have conversations with both hands free whether working at a workstation or driving my Tahoe. And whilst on the subject, a new law in Europe went into effect Dec. 1, 2003 which states that no one can drive and use a cell phone unless it's used with a hands free device. I can sync ever so quickly to my computer via the USB Bluetooth adapter. For me, Bluetooth is an almost perfect solution for me as I save valuable time with each use. So, I say, "Go Bluetooth!"

I use Bluetooth to connect to my cellphone when I am on the road too. My favorite bluetooth stories always involve me sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle and checking email while riding down the road at 70 MPH!

I knew this was going to happen. I knew I would get my X3i, and THEN they'd do Bluetooth. I have the Bluetooth logo on my antenna, but "no Bluetooth for you". . .
I would like to have it to connect when on the road, like Brad was saying. . .
