What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a radio technology developed to deliver short-range wireless mobility. Bluetooth eliminates cables/wires /cords between devices, such as mobile phones and headsets, and provides services when devices are in
close proximity to one another. Bluetooth facilitates fast, secure transmissions of both voice and data, even when the devices are not in line-of-sight.
Power Switches
This phone has two power switches. A silver one in front and another in the back below the battery compartment that you use the stylus to turn on. During shipping the power switch on the back is turned off. After you insert your SIM card, you must first turn this switch on before turning the PDA on with the button in the front. Red is off, green is on.

After some initial problems, I finally got this thing working the way that it should. I am now on the PDA bandwagon - especially since this thing has a cellphone, too. I can import pics, wma,wmv,avi, mp3, MS Office files, the works! The iPaq doesn't miss a beat when synchronizing all these different file types. I like it so much that I ordered a case and other accessories for it. Great device

Best deal for the money. You get a superloaded PDA, which doubles as a cell phone and more, for half the cost of a comparable product. Recomended.

As an IT pro, I think this deal simply rocks. Who could ask for more than GSM/GRPS/WiFi in one unit? How about Bluetooth and IR beam as well? Nice! I can use it on the road to check mail or surf to a web page. I can tunnel into a server or use any number of free tools to admin a server remotely. And I can do it using GPRS or if I'm near a hotspot I can use WiFi for free!
I was a little disappointed to find there was no Sync cable or software included (doesn't mention it being included, I just figured it would have been). But the unit is in perfect working order. I use a different provider for the phone than T-Mobile, but a little quick configuring and it works just fine.
I am extremely happy with this handheld! It's not a screamer in the processor department, doesn't have the most memory and comes with just a charger and the keyboard. But for the money you cannot find a unit that has all the features of this one. Very, very pleased!
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology
intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while
maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology
are robustness, low power, and low cost.
It’s more than seeing. It’s
believing.
Before wires, everything was wireless. Nature found ways to connect it
all—often on a very mysterious frequency. Bluetooth wireless technology
takes its prompt from nature: harmonious, intuitive, seamless. Products with
Bluetooth wireless technology communicate with a sense of purpose and
elegant efficiency. Today, Bluetooth wireless technology can eliminate
wires. In the future, it may make the word “wireless” entirely obsolete.
By then, Bluetooth freedom will be second nature.
Designed to make connectivity invisible and
reliable. A perfect convergence of extraordinary technology and elegant
simplicity. Hundreds of companies are on board. Thousands of engineers have
contributed. Standards have been set. Specifications have been approved.
More than one billion devices are in use. And people are experiencing just
how far they can go.
It’s integrating every dimension of
productivity.
Where do we work? Desk. Sofa. Car. Hotel. Kitchen. Plane. Yard. It’s not one
location; it’s everywhere. It’s not one application; it’s many. With
Bluetooth wireless technology, our options are endless. It’s where we’d most
expect it and where we’d least expect it—and everywhere in between. It
adapts to how we work and how we live, transforming everyday tasks into
everyday solutions. Surprising, nimble, ubiquitous. Seeking new applications
and finding new opportunities—everywhere we turn.
Technically,
Bluetooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances. The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, who was a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago
(Computer people choose the strangest names!). Bluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs,
and wireless headsets.

Note
About Cell Phone Expansion Memory!
Many cellular phones come with a slot
for expansion memory, such as: Mini or MicroSD, MemoryStick Micro, or
others. Expansion memory is a great way to safeguard photos, contact
lists, and other files. On our product pages, we may show photos or
diagrams of how this memory is inserted and used with the phone for
informational purposes, since we try to be as comprehensive in our
explanation of each phone's features and functions as possible.
However, additional expansion memory cards are NOT included with the phone
(unless explicitly stated).
Remember, regardless of the
brand of your phone, use only compatible micro/mini SD, or memory stick
cards, approved by your phone's manufacturer for use with your device. This
is because not all expansion memory is designed for the same specifications
(such as read/write speeds and capacity). Incompatible cards may
damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.
Also, when inserting a memory
card into your phone, your phone may prompt to format the memory card.
When a memory card is reformatted, all data on the card is permanently lost.
Some memory cards are supplied preformatted and others require formatting.
Consult your memory card's user guide to find out if you must format the
memory card before you can use it. If you are using a memory card in
your phone that was used on another device, such as a digital camera, or a
PC, exercise caution as viruses can be transferred in this way. Never
insert a memory card into a computer that does not have up-to-date antivirus
software. Only open files on the memory card that are known safe.
When in doubt, insert the card in a compatible computer and run a antivirus
scan.
What are GSM and GPRS?
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) has become the most successful global mobile technology for mobile phones and digital cellular networks with more than one billion subscribers. GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) brings the possibility of data services and applications based on Internet Protocol (IP) to GSM mobile networks. In current network implementations, GPRS data transfer speeds are between 30 to 40 Kbit/s.
What do GSM and GPRS do?
GSM is designed to deliver high-quality and secure mobile voice and data services to mobile users. Its success is based
on its inherent support for roaming and interoperability across a number of different networks and across a number of
different countries. GSM is available on multiple frequency bands globally and offers the widest selection of mobile
services and mobile terminals currently available.
GPRS enables fast connections through which information can be sent and received as the need arises, without having to wait for a dial-up modem to establish a connection. This is why GPRS devices are sometimes referred to be as being an 'always online' technology. And because pricing is often based on the amount of data transferred rather than the connection time, this has made GPRS applications such as email popular with small and large businesses around the world.
Benefits of GSM & GPRS
International standard - one and the same mobile phone works across continents
International roaming capability for professionals travelling overseas
Well established interoperability of GSM/GPRS devices and networks
What Is GSM?
GSM phones require a small electronic chip, called a SIM card, to be inserted into a slot in the handset. This
international SIM card is the "heart" of your phone - it contains your cell phone number, your phone book, and all
of your registration information. Most companies with GSM service provide you access to over 320 GSM networks in over
140 countries.
What are Unlocked GSM Phones?
Unlocked GSM phones are either a) phones which are directly from the manufacturer which were never locked, or b) phones
from a carrier which have been modified to openly work on any network.
What are the different frequencies of GSM that I need?
Most of the world's GSM networks operate at 900MHz and 1800MHz. However, in order to use the networks in the USA and
Canada you will need a handset that is also capable of operating at the 1900MHz frequency. Most phones are now either
"dual" "tri" or "quad band" (includes 850MHz) to serve most of the world.
