For those Nextel users that don't already know (Motorola i605)...

http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...hlight=%2Bi605

 

Yeah, I can't wait... just a little disappointed that the phone isn't a flip, and that I'll have to wait until the end of the year for it...

There is still rumors that the i930 MIGHT have bluetooth... keeping my fingers crossed...

 

where did u hear this rumor, coz in howardforums.com that rumor is put to rest and the i930 will not have BT

if they add BT to the i930 it would be the best phone out IMO coz it also has an SD slot which maybe possible to add WI-FI technology where you can do VOIP

 

I am just happy to hear that there is a buzz about bluetooth technology on Nextel units. I really love the PTT feature, and I am "married" to Nextel due to the office requirements. I do, however want to take advantage of my car's capabilities...

 

i have a friend who works for nextel on next generation phones..he hasn't heard anything about bluetooth for this year...

 

that's the problem, he works for nextel. out of all the nextel employees i asked about the new phones (sales rep and district sales manager) only one had the slighest clue on what i was talking about. not to rag on your friend but nextel does not inform their sales associates until a couple of weeks of release. usually 2 weeks before release.

 

w1n78,

he is an architect in charge of the software for the new phones that are coming out. so he knows all the new phones and which ones will be bluetooth enabled...he wasn't positve about the i605 but was pretty sure..he was going to let me know about it

 

thank you all for this great info... finaly when these phones come i can throw away my i90c

 

No problem... that's what we're here for.

To get our hopes up, just to have someone else shoot'em down.



I'm happy with Nextel and even happier to hear the prospects of Bluetooth from them.

 

Yah i've called nextel few times and I was like when r u guys gong to have "bluetooth phones" and they were like what phones.. and i'm like bluetooth... and they were like what tooth... and then i said its like hands free shit and they were like we dont know anything about that.

 

I use Nextel. The service is OK, but the phones are years behind other companies' cell phones. The Sony Erickson T68i that I bought a year and a half ago (when I used Cingular) had Bluetooth. It synched with my PowerBook and with a Jabra Bluetooth headset. If it weren't for Nextel's walkie-talkie service, they would never survive with their outdated phone. Well, if I can upgrade before the 1st of next year, it won't be too bad.

 

So how would the PTT work in the TL? By pushing.....

I have a house full of them i90, i95 and i88

 

AcuraTLjaTT559,

don't throw away your i90 go to www.oldcellphone.com...they will give you 50 bucks for it

don't think it will be integrated it would be cool though to have PTT on the steering wheel coz i have unlimited DC and i use it more than cell phone

 

cool let us know too. i'm almost gonna do a year contract w/ at&t just to use BT on the TL and still keep my nextel. as if i don't have enough bills to pay lol hopefully they will do something soon

 

Maybe integrating it with the horn? How often does anyone really use that function?

 

I would prefer it if the PTT feature simply worked like a regular phone using handsfree. PTT is very handy within our company, but I don't need to simulate it using buttons on the steering wheel while I am driving.

 

so whats the final word on this? will it or will it not have bluetooth?? :toothless
