12/20   I have a Nokia 3220 (the one with rubber lights on the side).
        Since it doesn't have Bluetooth built in, I bought the AD-5B
        Bluetooth adapter which on the web site says is compatible
        with 3220. I also bought a Bluetooth headset. Here is my
        problem, after plugging in my AD-5B into the 3220, I pressed
        the control key and the Bluetooth headset sync button, but
        it wouldn't sync. According to the manual I should get a prompt
        to enter the code (0000) but I don't even get the prompt. Why
        is that?
        \_ Plug in the AD-5B bluetooth adapter into your Nokia. The adapter
           will blink green once, then blinking red every 5 seconds.
           Press the control key on the bluetooth adapter once, it should
           blink green every 1 second. Turn on your Nokia bluetooth headset.
           Within 10 seconds, the adapter should have continuous green
           light, meaning it found a device. At your key pad, press
           0000#. Now you should see a Car sign on the phone, and the
           adapter should blink green every 5 sec again. Congratulations,
           you've turned your regular Nokia phone into a bluetooth phone!
           Note that the adapter ONLY works with Nokia Bluetooth 1.1
           headset. I've tried many other brands but they don't work.

4/22    Costco is selling "Bluetooth Capable Premium Digital Hearing Aids" for
        $1999.99 a pair.  My Bluetooth cell phone headset is maybe $30 for one
        ear.  Why does hearing aid cost so much?
        \_ Medical insurance?
        \_ Does $2000-your medical deductible = $30?
           \_ How come insurance companies allow such rip-offs?

6/3     Any phone geeks on here?  I want to get a new smartphone, preferably
        with wifi, touchscreen, and 3.5mm headphone jack.  I don't plan to pay
        the monthly $$ for a data plan though, since wifi is good enough for
        me.  That rules out the iPhone due to AT&T's policies.
        Maybe I should get some sort of Nokia N-series.
        \_ Wait one week and get a pre?

10/26   I'd like to buy a Nokia 6301 (only available in europe), to use with
        my T-Mobile HotSpot@home. It uses GSM (and WiFi). Will it work with
        the US GSM frequencies, and is there a way I order one from europe?

6/29    For every single iPhone sold, Nokia/Motorola/LG/whoever
        will sell 1000 or so phones.  Why aren't they worth a gajillion
        dollars?

8/15    Other than Nokia 8801 (a bit pricey at $650) are there any other
        cell phone *currently* on the market with a steel shell? My old
        Motorola is steel and I don't want to replace it with plastic
        crap. I need a GSM phone. Thanks!
        \_ No.  -luddite

1/3     What headphones (non-earbud) do you use or recommend for your
        Ipod or other MP3 Player?
        \_ I borrowed my friend's Sennheiser HD500 and could hear sounds
           I've never heard before on many songs. They're quite pricey
           but you'll notice the difference in sound quality.
        \_ I wonder why iPod doesn't have bluetooth. I hate the wires.
