No, you cannot connect any accessories to the XDA, because it only has an SD card slot, and even this slot takes only SD memory cards and not the much more versatile SD-io cards.
The USB port, the only other hope, only does usb in 'slave mode'. This means it can be a device towards a computer, but it can't play the role of computer ('master') towards other 'slave' devices.

Yes I use the Jabara Bluetooth wireless headset with excellent results. It does require plugging in an adapter which hangs off the phone from the mic jack, but it is well designed and works great. For me the extra equipment is not a problem since it sits on the car seat most often.

Hi guys! Thanks for your valued labours! I know these are boring questions to you, but.......
Are there any chinks of light in the 'Bluetooth tunnel'?
Is there any possibility that in the future the sd port could be modified to sd/io?
Could an sd/io slot from another PDA be modified to fit in place of the sd or are there other reasons why this won't work?
And finally, will the upgrades mentioned on xda-developers.com work over here (GB)? And will they really allow me to connect wifi to my laptop, thus allowing me to use my XDA as a modem?
Sorry I'm so technically challenged. :oops:

Can you actually active sync o2 xda and the desktop pc
using bluetooth jabra connection? I mean using the
new Jabra free speak for pocket pc phone on O2xda
and then active sync with your desktop pc with the bluetooth
adaptor on th desktop pc and then active sync.....does that work?
Has anyone try that? That might be the answer for bluetooth on
o2 xda?? 8) or just not possible?

For obvious reasons, the number one being that the jabra connects to the headset connector on the phone, it can not be used for anything but a headset.

So there is no way to use bluetooth on O2 xda with the desktop.
But you can synchronise the xda and desktop and then surf
the internet on O2xda using desktop's high speed internet connection.
Also it is faster and cheaper then using GPRS on the xda. Only thing
is why would you want to do that when you can use desktop.
Furthermore you need a very long connecting cable to move about
the house unless you can find a way to hookup bluetooth....which I am still searching for a way to do it. Maybe the new version of o2 xda or similar products will have bluetooth incorporated...or is there one out there now? I would be glad to find out.
