Cheapest EDGE phone with BT?

sdge · 05-04-07, 06:24 AM

That's the question... also it needs to be able to take a Tmobile sim card.

the nokia 6682 looks promising but i don't think it has A2DP BT. Will that be a problem with the Widcomm stack on my x51v. Will it slow down how fast I can connect to the internet via BT from my Axim? Does anyone have experience with this phone? Also will I be able to unlock this phone for Tmobile, and if I can unlock it for tmoible use tmobile's data service?

I am also with t-mobile. I am currently using a sidekick3 which has suprisingly fast web browsing on it and I can be on all 3 instant messengers at once and fantastic features. However I am also like this fellow above me am looking for a phone that has bt capability that will be the perfect match for my x50v which I take with me everywhere with me. However I have money :) so I want a good cell phone that uses t-mobiles edge that has bt connectivity and I can not only connect my x50v but my laptops as well. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

If you can afford one get a T519 trace. Worked perfect for me. My only problem is it didn't pass the drunk-throw-against-a-wall test.

A2DP won't affect anything, it's just for high-quality stereo over bluetooth, not related to data or dialup.

can anyone recommend a motorola phone? would a razor work? asking because of the motorola phone tools program that works on laptops connecting the phone to the internet is so easy to use.

don't get motorola
except the most recent models, the EDGE is slow, and require extra dialup string to make it work
I recommend SE Z310, nokia 6085, 6230, or samsung T619

I just ebayed a Nokia 6680. Once I get it I will report on how it goes with BT tethering to my x50v and my laptops.

Wish me luck.
