P900 Bluetooth not trouble-freeBy Anthony Newman, Thursday 22 January 2004
Sony Ericsson users pick up on problems with UIQ handheld's PAN technology, warn potential buyers that all's not plain sailing.

A body of users on the My-Symbian fora have discovered a widespread problem affecting the latest Symbian UIQ handheld from Sony Ericsson, the P900. The issue concerns the implementation of the Bluetooth wireless technology, which is ironically usually the strongpoint of many Sony Ericsson phones.

In the My-Symbian thread, which requires registration, 70% of the 72 respondents to the poll have stated that they have issues with the Bluetooth implementation on this handheld.

These issues relate to the support for Bluetooth headsets. Users report that even using Sony Ericsson branded headsets, as well as other popular models such as the Jabra BT250, the handheld would have problems detecting the headset, forwarding calls, managing voice-dialling and so on. The members at MySymbian have isolated the problem to the P900 by testing the headsets with other phones, including the P800, which preceded the P900.

Attempts by the forum members to prompt a statement from Sony Ericsson on the matter have so far failed.
