Re: Bluetooth phone with analogue/speaker-phone/phone-book x-fer

Either a Nokia 6256i or a Motorola 710. The v710 may require some
hacking to get the Bluetooth to work (if at all) but the analog
reception AFAIK, is much better.

The Nokia 6256i has only mediocre analog reception and there is no
ability to hook up a hardwired external antenna.

Nokia 6256i has fully enabled BT support, I use it with my Mac and
Phonedirector software. For PC the free Nokia suite should suit your
needs. Check Howardforums.com verizon then Nokia phone sub forum
there's quite a bit of info and tips there.

I've also had a Audiovox 9500 which gets excellent fringe analog
reception, only so-so digital reception. The audiovox 9500 accepts an
external antenna adapter and then any kind of external antenna for the
BEST analag reception possible.
The Nokia 6256i will NOT work with the external antenna adapter sold on
EBAY. It's also quite possible to break the phone when sticking an
external antenna adapter into that little port, unlike the older Nokia
that had a REAL antenna adapter port.
