Palm Posts Audio Fix for AT&T Treo 750

Sidenote:
- Range for me is about 20 feet.
- You can get calls also with them, as the earphones have a mic.

Vamp,

Those are not on BBs website. How much do these things set you back?

Sounds like a great idea. I have been wondering why someone has not bundled this experience. I guess Palm and the rest will wait on Apple to do a killer ad campaign on a wireless iPod / iPhone, and then try to make cheaper wanna bes?

Seems to me like Palm could market the gandolf or Z22 replacement as an mp3 phone/pda in lollipop colors with the "breakthrough" wireless audio, showing how much more advanced it is that the archaic wired iPods and MP3 players. Bundle the most economical BT earbuds with it, and give a 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB SD/SDHC option at the store or web. $250 and they would rock with the right "funky" image campaign. Maybe the little orange ball man with wire free tunes? Who knows.

Anyway, I might try this if the $$$ is digestible.

In Canada, $139.99 CAD

In USA,
You are right, the USA BestBuy does not carry them online. Ask BB if they can order them for you. Or Google for some other store that carries them.

Update: Amazon.com (USA) has them. Go there and search for 'DRBT10CX'.
Price: $83.37 USD

It is so cool.
You can clip the little BT thingy inside your shirt, out of sight and leave the buds hang over your shirt collar. You have access to songs via BT within seconds reach all day long.

For those of you that don't follow exchange rates, $83.37 USD works out to roughly $86.70 CAD. Pat Horne, that was real mean of you to make Vampy look up the US price and realise he overpaid by over 50%. But cross-border shopping can be a pain, too.

Actually, I thank him.

You are right, I was ripped off.
Minutes after writing the PIC post, I emailed BestBuy and asked for a Price Match refund. I found a Canadian website that was selling it for $ 89.43 cad.

If all goes well, BestBuy should refund me around 50$ soon.

In case any Canadians reading this,

I knew it someone deleted it!
This is exactly why I left Brighthand and rarely ever posted again.

Forum micromanagement in the name of keeping order is BAD.
Have fun with the others because I am no longer posting here.

VampireLestat, I was just trying to move the discussion to a more appropriate story.

I did not delete your comment just moved it, I thought you would notice in the latest comments list so I'm sorry if you got the impression I removed it.

This particular article is about the windows mobile 750 rom update, while your comment is about A2DP with Palm OS devices. So I simply moved the comment over to the Audio Gateway review, which is what you are discussing here.

I'm not one to 'micromanage' the discussions at all, however I like to try to keep comments with the more relevant article. It's rare that I ever move or delete something but in this case, it was pretty off topic for this article.

Alright, fine.

Yep, I was just about to ask VL how he was getting a WinMob update to work on his T5. ;-)
