😕

Bluetooth Compatability With Apple Computers
Hi I recently ordered a Boost Mobile i875. And I might at the the reviews for the 870 on this website are phenominal. But my question is this maybe someone can help me out. I own a G3 iBook, and also a G4 iMac and a G5 Powerbook. I know you are all probably like why in god's name does he have so many but regardless ... I was wondering how the bluetooth works with any of my computers because I have plenty of ringers and wallpapers on my computer I want to put on my new phone once it gets here. And If anyone could help me out in the slightest I would really appreciate it.

i870 Firmware Update now visible at Motorola iDEN Website
NOTE: This message also applies if you are, or know someone who's an i860 user.
You definitely should check the phone's software version regularly by hitting Pound, Star, Menu, and Right at the Ready Screen. Check your i870's software version. If it's earlier than R5B.00.04, I strongly urge you to go to http://idenphones.motorola.com/iden/support/s oftware/html/firmware_utility.html to download the R5B.00.04 Firmware Update.
Again, the version as of today is R5B.00.04 for i870, whether Nextel or Southern Linc. i860 users are encouraged to update their phone's firmware as well, since a newer version of the firmware is also available for the i860.
Tell me what you think. Be sure you update the firmware if you own an i870.

i870
Overall I believe review was accurate and am impressed with the stature of the tests the you performed. I would have liked to have heard more about the key differential features but those are more Carrier specific rather than phone specific. I will definitely look for more of your reviews. Thanks
