 bluetooth Version 1, which gives a 33' distance, but there are some

 adapter is transmitting at  66', will the V.1 earpiece work at that

 with  USB versions.

You are limited by the shortest ranged version, the short one could recieve
the signal but transmitting wouldn't make it.

Bluetooth Q

2006-02-06 Thread David Rodriguez
I've got a bluetooth question for someone knowledgeable.  I am using

I suppose the V.2 earpieces won't be long before introduction so I  
could wait, but the price is right now for V.1 earpieces.


The other variable I may have is that I only have USB 1.1 on my book,  
unless I use a USB 2.0 Cardbus (which I have) and plug into that.  So  
not sure if I may get a bottleneck with the factory usb speed but  
that's another issue.

Hey Dave -

If you decide to try a current headset, I have a Plantronics BT320
that is brand new (my mother in law wanted one and then realized her
phone didn't have Bt.  I use this same headset daily with my cell
phone and have found it to work very well and it is comfortable.

$32 shipped to your door.

any luck selling your Lombard?

let me know -
