I upgraded my Motorola v3xx Razor cell phone with 2GB of expanded Micro SD memory; It came with 60 MB. The lady at Radio Shack said the dongle would work just as well as the USB data cable. It gives my cell the potential for 500 songs. Wouldn't you know it the Soliel software from Voice Star is Win2000, WinXP and WinVista installable but I got Ubuntu 7.10. I think I just about have it figured out.laugh The lady said the expanded memory is like a hard drive. Just about the time you get to figure out USB and Firewire then comes Bluetooth.

Oh, its a lot of fun. I sweated it when I dropped the expensive phone thinking I am sure glad I got the insurance to go with it. I thought oh no as I put it back together and it didn't work but then a friend showed me this little button on it and it was like the old Cheech and Chong tape where one is sitting watching the tv. One asked what was wrong with the tv because it was a black screen. The other said I don't know its been like that all day. Then you hear this click and then the other says wow man what did you do? Oh, man I turned it on. That was what a friend did was turn the phone back on by showing me the power button to the cell phone.laugh

My 12yr old & her pal have fun with Bluetooth on buses. They check who has left theirs switched on have a laugh at the nicknames that appear. Sometimes shouting out the nickname to see who gets embarassed blushing
Hint: don't forget to switch bluetooth off until needed :smile:

If you are a god it will go 300 ft.

Mine has trouble communicating with the headset if I have the phone on my hip and I turn my head the wrong way.


I agree with keeping it off when not in use mainly because BT will suck the battery dry really really fast
