Wow. In a case of Great Minds Think Alike, two days ago I sent an email to Handspring to tell them that the only reason I'm not snapping up the impressive Treo is its lack of Bluetooth/wireless connectivity. To their credit, I received this rapid and detailed response :


Dear James Ramsay (jramsay@easynet.fr),


Thank you for contacting palmOne, formerly Handspring.


We appreciate your interest in the Treo 600. While there is nothing about
the Treo 600 that would prevent it from being used with a compatible
Bluetooth or 802.11 expansion card, we are not aware of any compatible cards
at this time. We do, however, expect to see one released by SanDisk during
2003. For further information about this card, please contact SanDisk
directly. For more information about Bluetooth and the Treo 600, please copy
and paste the following URL into your browser:

If you need further assistance please reply to this email or contact
Customer Care at 1-888-565-9393.


Thank You,
Brett

    http://www.socketcom.com/product/BL4800-392.asp, check out this website site if you have not done so. It seems like the specs may match with the Treo.

    good luck

  • Treo 600 minus Bluetooth too bad...

    Yep, it would be a sale but for the bluetooth missing. I won't even crank up a phone without bluetooth wireless headset in place. Looks like $500+ to siemens for the bluetooth in the P800 but I would have much preferred the treo 600.

    Yeah, they probably can't come out and say it right now, but I bet you that Bluetooth will be embedded in the next model. But what an oversite in the 600! It's a pretty good looking smartphone otherwise.
