It can be quite fun but I found that it cannot recognise my voice input for the number "2" well.? Any phone number that I try to verbally train will be mis-recognised as a "0" or a "4" at times and my final command would be a "CANCEL" in frustration!

that's a good way of imitating the English accent.

Hi Olivin, thanks for the tips. Ha ha ha..see lah never read the manual 
Problem with 2? I bet what you really need is a German accent
Go watch the 1st and 3rd Indiana Jones movies to pick it up

I have not got the chance to try a Treo but eggz is right in that they are rather tricky.? I liked my P910i alot and have flash upgraded the firmware but still in vain and very fedup coz the T630 (much lesser feature than P910i) works so well....
Almost opted for the RAZR V3 but held back coz it had only 5MB to internal memory.

Thanks for the replies, really useful feedback. <_<
looks to me like the bluetooth retrofit really works better with the older model phones
, but I really need a PPC or at least a Smartphone (P910i or Nokia 9300) for my work, unless I want to carry to items, a Phone and a PDA like I used to. So guys, what you say ? Should I
1) Get the Bluetooth retrofit done, carry a phone and a PDA, and hope that a software update in the future will better support newer phones
OR
2) Get the Bluetooth retrofit done, buy a Smart phone (e.g. P910i ) and get used to the limited functions, and hope that a software update in the future will better support newer phones
OR
3) Wait for the bluetooth option to support PPC or Smartphone before I commit to it and carry on use a bluetooth headset
Advise and suggestions will be appreciated.
Anymore Singaporeans with bluetooth option with a differnt phone from above e.g. Nokia 9300 or newer phones ??
Pls feedback !Thanks

Was at Sime Darby Ctr where my friend picked up his new 520 today. There were at least 8 brand new 520s awaiting their new owners. Seems PML is really flooding the roads with these cars.
