Motorola MPx220
Bluetooth & *NO* voice dialing???
I know the Phonescoop website says that the voice dialing feature will *NOT* work with a bluetooth wireless headset... Can anyone confirm this??? Or even better, hopefully deny it???
This might be the *best* phone on the market *IF* voice dialing was compatible with a bluetooth cordless headset...
If not, is is just another piece of cr*p from Motorola like the V710 is... (473 pages of complaints & still rising! that's gotta be a record!)

Nevermind... I just read this very good article & it answered the question:

So now my question becomes, when will Mobile 2004 be released & will it be incorporated into this phone so it will support voice dialing thru a cordless bluetooth headset...???
If they could get this phone to do that, then it would prolly be the best phone on the market! 😁

BIG PROBLEM!! NO VOICEDIAL FROM A BLUETOOTH HEADSET SUPPORTED!!
MicroSoft say's that this will not be resolved with its bluetooth stack until Mobile 2004...I don't want to wait that long....Motorola needs to address this somehow, it is just not acceptable with a phone of this type....

If that was on the ATTW forum, they would have locked the thread down. A forum is for people to discuss topics under that particular heading. Yet, they only allow so many people to respond before locking it down.

I would say that the original post that you refered to was very on topic... Have they fixed the problem with this phone not being able to use voice dialing in conjunction with a bluetooth cordless headset or not???
That is a big issue for a phone of this type... If they have GREAT, tell us about it... If they have *NOT* fixed it, avoid this phone like the plague & let Motorola know that we won't accept poorly engineered substandard defective products from them... It's something that they don't quite seem to "get" as of late (e.g. the V710 fiasco...)

There is no bluetooth dialing. Bluetooth dialing is not supported on Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphone . The C500 has a 3rd Party application is uses to do vocie dial through bluetooth.
I have a MPX 220 with a late version of the ROM (not th latest though) and it does not do vioce dial through bluetooth. You can sue the voice dial appication with the headset active but you need to speak into the phone. Once the phone dials, it is trasnferred to the ehadset.
I am using a Sony HBH-65 with it and it works well.

I was hoping that Motorola would get smart and "fix" the "no voice dialing thru a bluetooth headset" by either developing some additional software *themselves* (omg, perish the thought of Motorola making their own product work correctly) or Moto using some 3rd party software to do the trick (just get it to work...)
Anyways, IMHO I can't believe anyone would buy a bluetooth phone that didn't support *ALL* bluetooth features, including file transfer (think V710, oops! Moto again!) and voice dialing thru a bluetooth headset...

HTC did develop their own bluetooth stack (or integrated someone else's) in order to provide a truly integrated bluetooth feature set. So the HTC Typhoon/Audiovox SMT 5600 does support Bluetooth voice dialing.
However, it seems to me that Motorola made a business decision to just roll with Microsoft's OS instead of spending the extra time and money required to support one additional bluetooth feature. They probably figure that they will capture most of the market with this phone (and they are probably right; if they can actually get the phone to market), and wait until next year to update the OS on the phone to 2004 so it has better Bluetooth support.
As far as I'm concerned, the two leading smart phones are the MPX220 and the Audiovox...

What about the Panasonic X700? 🙂 Has a nice list of features and, presumably, bluetooth fully implemented...

see my latest post about bluetooth/vdial.
Yeah, I saw that, but as others have noted, if Motorola put in the time & effort they could create/buy the necessary software to remedy that shortcoming. They just don't want to spend the money, which is too bad as a phone of this caliber deserves more...
