firstly big thanks to all at xda developers for seeing me through XDA1 and all the support for XDA2.
Just to say I am now using the XDA2 with tomtom 2 and fortuna Bluetooth - boy and it works the bXXLLOX.
I brought the kit cheap at handtec.co.uk had a few issues and their tech team helped me set the unit up - I recommend those guys as they definitely seemed like a bunch of enthusiasts.
all my mates now want the XDA2 so if any of you have a few to sell let me know :lol:

Hi there - just about to get my 02 XDA but want to use a GPS compact flash or similar. I dont think the XDA has a compact flash so any suggestions? I want a complety portable GPS version rather than a wired in the car one.
Thanks
Gary

Take a look here lots of CF GPS but dont forget you'll have bluetooth too to consider

Thanks for that - problen solved!
A Haicom 303MMF GPS unit for £79 into the XDA CF add on device and I am away!
XDA CF add on device??? is that or the XDA1 or XDA2??
XDA 11 but I just realised it needs the SD slot meaning no room for the software
Looks like it will have to be a tom tom bluetooth kit - bulkier but I guess I can keep tthe GPS bit in my pocket!

The XDA II CF Jacket won't physically accept most of the CF GPS units on the market. Best bet is to update the ROM on your XDA II to properly support BT GPS units and use a decent Bluetooth Model.
The most popular / tested Bluetooth GPS on the XDA range is the Qstarz BT-Q818

Recently found a website www.gpsmidlands.co.uk who part exchanged my old Xda 2 for the new Xda 2i and put together a bluetooth gps kit as well.
It was fully installed with the speed camera software.
Very impressed with the service.
Thought they deserved a mention
Do you work for them by any chance?
Hi,
after giving up trying to get my Jabra BT250 to work with my XDA IIi I have been recommended to try an o2 'Blue' Bluetooth headset.
Anyone on here got any comments, good or bad, about this headset.
Many thanks
Steve
We're walking down the same path!!
I gave up with my Jabra headset,paired but wouldn't do sound.Bought an o2 Blue.We,ve sold thousands to work with xda2i,I was told.
Can't get sound on calls.Plays wmp music.Opens phone application.No sound
Have done various upgrades on bluetooth,pairing never a problem.
Am going to try new xda2i rom from pug next,unless any good ideas.
Hi i've been using an O2 Blue since I got my XDA IIi about a month and half ago, everything's fine so far, although not sure if it auto answers tho seemed to remember that being a setting on a Plantronics M3000 I've used previously.
Cheers
Andrew
I have 2 Jabra BT250's and both are paired and work fine with my XDA2i, Seems like it might be a problem with the XDA rather then the headsets!!
hi all,
i've just ordered my first smartphone, the xda exec (didn't know it was universal until after ordering), which i should receive monday.
i've got a few questions.
1. is there any recommended brand/size of sd card?
2. any must have software/accesories? i plan to use it mainly around the house.
3. is it relatively easy/cheap to use the exec for car based sat nav?
4. what is the screen like for watching movies?
5. i've got a motorola hs850 bt headset, will this work fine with the exec?
thanks for any answers left.
Hi ppl just wondering with all the more smarter ppl than me here.I am looking to buy a GPS reciever for my BlueAngel.
I am looking at this one.
HP iPAQ Bluetooth GPS Receiver
[FA256A]
http://www.ow.com.au/shop/product_info.php/products_id/311?osCsid=831...e5a91629d63adc5798ac91a06
at first glance i would say no cause its for a iPAQ, but it is bluetoth and a lot of different BT stuff work with BA's, So any help info ppl could give me would be great....
BTW great site love it.
What GPS....
The GPS branded as HP bla bla is an obsolete type with old SiRF II. chipset. It is slow and not very sensitive at all.
Better obtain http://www.expansys.com.au/product.asp?code=127067 it is more expensive (only a little bit) but much more reliable, stable, sensitive etc. I am using this GPS with my BlueAngel flawlessly.
Or try one of these http://www.expansys.com.au/product.asp?code=130593 it works great with the devices I use incl the BA. - Mike
Hi have the Globalsat BT 338(bluetooth) - it's very small, last for ages on the battery and very sensitive (Sirf III).
Probably the best around, maybe not the cheapest but definitely worth it.
ok guys thanx for your help.
