Apple bluetooth and iPhone 3G

[acosmichippo]

if i understand you correctly, that should work.

I know you can dock them, but cant you also just go to the settings on the iphone, and turn on bluetooth, then doesnt it search for devices? it should then find the apple headset and then just tap the name of the headset i think.

Well thats how it works with other bluetooth devices, but with the Apple BT your supose to dock it and thats how it pairs. I have tired the way you mentioned and it does not work.

hi all, I have said Bluetooth headset and you can pair it with your iPhone using the travel adapter cable. However the travel adapter must be connected to a power source not a usb hub. Either connect to the mains or your car charger. It works for me this way. Considering the 3g has apples connector it should work with the 3g. On their web site theyre advertising it as an accessory.

That said the headset although cool to look at sucks on battery life and reception.

So, in other words, don't buy Apple's bluetooth headset.

Yeah, I just saw that on the Apple web site and remembered about the travel dock too. That would make for an easy way to pair when the time comes.

My Apple bluetooth works well with both versions of the Iphone and has a longer range with the 3G. It pairs easily and sounds great.
