Hi @ll..

i think the P3300 is the best 'mobile phone' iīve ever had. But there is one thing, i really miss.
The Infrared-Port(!)

Does anyone knows, if there are an external infrared-port you can plug in the ExtUSB-Port?? I know, thatīs not an active USB Port, but maybe there is an accessory, that you can use with an batterie, to have an external IR Port...

thanxx 2 @ll

Jeez, I've had my MDA Compact III about 6 months now, I've always had "Receive all incoming beams" selected, and only now do I realise there isn't even an IR port! D'oh! :rolleyes:

Waiiiiiit.

Unchecking this option disables file transfers via Bluetooth. And, no, I don't know what Microsoft were smoking when they thought that up.

Wouldn't it be great if someone would make a bluetooth receiver/ir repeater? That way you could use the bluetooth to remotely control all the home theater gadgets...up to 30'...through a wall....around the corner... If I were smart, I'd be rich. :p

That appears to be a Stevens school project from 2004, not an actual product. That's not so smart.
