Siemens SX66, MDA III, Blue Angel, XDA IIs

I have been looking on the web for a long time to find out if this pha/phone works with the TL. I can't believe that noone has tried it yet! It was released weeks ago in Europe but is GSM and people have been using it in the USA successfully. Can be purchased from Expansys, and soon will be offered by AT&T and Cingular.

Do we finally have a PDA/phone that works well???

Can we say Blackberry 7100t is PDA phone? If so, someone seems to use it now.

Could you check if using the patch that people talk about below helps?

well it seems i have to do some searching around to find the patch so i will try it later and let you know. it does pair and you can transfer the call so im assuming there will be a patch sooner or later.

English Fixes: Improves radio performance and stability.
Arabic Fixes: Improves radio performance and stability. Displays Arabic text on more websites.

Also, is the phone reconized when entering car? Do you have to do anything special to make it bond with car?

How do you like the PDA overall?

the rom update does not fix the issue. when the device is off the BT is in hibernation so you need to turn the pocket pc on so the BT is "awake" then it will automatically recognize it. another serious problem is that the phone turns on automatically when connected to the car. thsi should be fixed when they get around to releasing a patch. BT headsets have the same issue as well. this device has many BT issues.
