Mobile Phone Bluetooth

I'll save you some trouble -- I have a razr and just reviewed it for the radio show.

The phone will function bluetooth to bluetooth for normal devices. That means headsets, handhelds that sort of thing. I was unable to get the phone to send data to a PC (It will recive bluetooth data but not send it) I'll save you some trouble -- I have a razr and just reviewed it for the radio show.

The phone will function Bluetooth to Bluetooth for normal devices easily. That means headsets, handhelds that sort of thing. I was unable to get the phone to send data to a PC (It will receive Bluetooth data but not send it) I used several different Bluetooth adapters. I suspect you have to have Motorola’s proprietary adapter – which there was no point in ordering, since the phonies also USB.

The Razr’s USB connection will allow you to transfer data as well as charge your phone via USB. However you MUST have the Motorola software package Phone Tools to do so. It will not even charge without it since there is no native Windows driver for the phone. You also will need one of the newer 5 pin USB cables – for some reason my cable that was a year or so old will not work with that phone, although it works with everything else.

When you install phone tools the phone may or may not work still. Depending on how finicky your XP is that day, you will have to manually add the driver from the phone tools software location: C:\Program Files\mobile PhoneTools\Inf\W2K_XP_USB_Drivers

The phone tools software is pretty neat once you get use to it – It will even cut custom ring tones straight from a CD (converts to MP3) Just remember they cant be over 30 seconds.

Enjoy.

 

Yes you have to buy it separately -- I think some retailers haveit, but you can get it direct from motorola
