Does the 740 support reading aloud of text messages. Mine is grey'ed out, is that because it doesn't support it or because I haven't set something. In fact as a general question, do unsupported functions that are only available on the 940 appear as grey'ed buttons on other models or not at all ?

| Reading aloud of text messages will depend entirely on the capability of your mobile phone when connected up via Bluetooth to the device, if it works it will be a selectable option, if the phone isn't supported the menu option will be greyed out - Mike |

Thanks, that's very helpful. Do you happen to know the technical name of the actual BlueTooth services required, so I can ask around the Apple forums.

| The iPhone doesn't support text messaging protocols, so don't bother! |

That's a bit of a sweeping statement, it certainly supports some protocols since it supports text messaging. However, when I said Apple forums I was actually referring to the jailbreaking community who might well be in a position to support additional protocols given that they do make alterations to the baseband code. As it happens I currently use my iPhone as a modem to my laptop which "the iPhone doesn't support".

| Okay, if you are happy to use a hacked bluetooth stack on the iPhone, then it may of course support the required messaging protocols. But the iPhone as supplied by Apple will bond and allow hands-free nicely, but nothing more. We can but hope they add more in future updates. |

That depends on whether it's an iPhone or an iPhone 3g.
