|
|
Hi i was wondering if there any software out there that could turn your pda into a handsfree kit for your phone. I had a in car device that connects via bluetooth to your phone and then becomes a incar handsfree kit. there must be some software out there that can allow your pda to do the same thing? |

Is there any advantage using the PDA other than the phone?
I do not think so.
You should get a handfre kit for the phone instead. _________________ Pc-Mobile

Not sure what you are trying to achieve here. How can your PDA be a hands free device? It needs to be held to be used.
You can buy aplenty of handsfree kits that will talk to your phone, and if your phone has a built in PDA it will talk to those. You can also get a Parrot CK3300 that is a combined phone car kit and sat nav receiver that will talk to your smartphone/PDA. |

If you can afford a PDA surely you can afford a handsfree for your phone.
Handfree for you phone can cost next to nothing depending on what your phone is and what you want to do with it. _________________ Pc-Mobile

come on guys think about it
i have my pda in my cradle in my car i do not have one for my phone. it is against the law to use your phone if it is not in a cradle why would i want two cradles if i can get my pda to sync with my phone so that i can talk and listen to the person phoning on my pda.
I know these devices exist as a seperate bluetooth unit. i suppose it personel preference but i think it is an advantage just have the one device doing all rather than having many seperate device just doing the one thing. |

i think you looking at a some thing like an xda or similar but youll need a hands free kit for the phone still
or are you a talking about being able to dail a number from the pda via bluetooth either way youll need a handsfree kit of some sort either wired or bluetooth _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone. Good bye IOS don't let the door hit you on the way out .

the new Mio A201 can be used as a Handsfree kit via bluetooth connection. You can also dial from the PDA also. It use IVT chipset. |

The Mio A201 does actually work as a handsfree but unless the device is quite close the microphone picks up a lot of background noise. The speaker is also not great so if ambient noise is high in the car then a conversation would be pretty difficult. It does give a larger pad for dialing on but to be honest the bluetooth headsets are the way to go in my opinion. A bluetooth headset can be bought for less than £20 now which is a pretty small price to pay for increased safety whilst driving, not to mention it's cheaper than the potential fine. |
