| Civilians |  Re: iPAQ 5550 used as mobile phone As close as Ive come is by using Running Voice on my h5555 and leave my bluetooth phone in my pocket or backpack and use the wired hands free headset snaked down through my shirt then connect it to the phone. I would have never thought this would be such a difficult proposition. I'd be happy if I could get a bluetooth headset to work but as far as Ive seen this isnt possible either. My Nokia 3650 phone only supports a single BT connection and a BT headset on the PPC is useless also as their isnt a way to get audio to and from the phone to the PPC. <shaking head sadly>... Mitch "Petros J. Boscainos" <pbosc@panafonet.gr> wrote in message news:c6emp9$q80$1@titan.btinternet.com... I have recently bought the iPAQ 5550. Can I use it as a mobile phone in the UK? Is the cost worth it? |

If you are asking because it has a SIM slot under the battery then the answer is NO. HP originally planned a Phone Edition version of the 5xxx series that never appeared and they all shared a common chassis. The SIM slot is not connected and serves no useful purpose in your model. -- Darren Griffin Pocket GPS World - http://www.pocketgpsworld.com The Premier GPS Resource for News, Reviews and Forums |

| Civilians | Re: iPAQ 5550 used as mobile phone Or you could use PocketSkype from wireless hotspots to PC users with Skype. It works well, as the Ipaq (at least on my 5450) has the speaker and microphone well positioned, but I'm not sure how healthy it is with your ear next to the wireless antenna...
