hey everyone, i have been debating about getting a blue tooth headset or bluetooth phone for using with my ipaq while riding my motorcycle, i have a full helmet and was just curious if anyone has had any experience or suggestions about what i could do. i want it for music but to also be able to listen to gps directions.

I have the HP blutooth stereo phones for my 4700 and they work well with my short helmet but I have not tried them with my full face yet.

i just got the head phones to night and can't find a comfortable way to fit them in my helmet, may have to get a short helmet i dunno, or find a way to put them behind the padding. i need to try a few things wiht them. hopefully with out permanently attaching them to the helmet

hi
I have an autocom intercom system on my bike. With it I have my phone connected, my PDA for music and a GPS through the PDA for onroad step by step navigating
You can also talk to your pillian through your headset in the helmet, also if you connect a hand held uhf cb you can talk to your mates on their bikes....
I have found it brilliant to use..when out on the road during buisiness hours you can answer the phone, its clear as day and nobody even realises you are on a bike

I switched back to my hard wired phones for GPS use on my bike. The BT headsets are bulky and often a bit quiet.

My GPS (tom tom 5) and wired phones always got me bang on the spot with a good clear sound even at speed.

I use a Chatterbox to listen to my mp3 player, wired of course, but not a permanent install. As mentioned above, if you ride with someone else who has one, you can talk to them, too.
