WARNING: operators and distributors and manufacturers want to CHEAT YOU OUT OF A2DP (stereo audio over Bluetooh) ! March 03, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R. The worst is happening: ROM upgrades with Push Email are rolling out (not all public yet, but our sources already have them) and some of operators and distributors are not placing the A2DP (support for stereo audio over Bluetooth) in ROM upgrades with Push Email!!!
As of now we can confirm, that ROM upgrade for i-mate K-JAM with Push Email and upcoming ROM upgrades with Push Email from Orange UK - don't have support for A2DP (stereo audio over Bluetooth)! Microsoft is offering to all hardware manufactures possibility to include native support for stereo audio over Bluetooth, but apparently the biggest buzz these days is about Microsoft's new Push Email technology, so these manufacturers (HTC?) or operators (Orange?) or distributors (i-mate?) are "forgetting" to include the A2DP in latest ROM upgrades! This is big scandal! Obviously Microsoft is not at fault because Microsoft made A2DP available as some manufacturers and operators prove: O2 Xda Atom made by Quanta, M600 and G500 made by E-TEN and German version of T-Mobile MDA Pro - have A2DP on board! Our advice to (potential) customers is crystal clear: stop, don't buy a Windows Mobile phone!!! ... unless support for stereo audio over Bluetooth (A2DP) is already now available! In other words: don't trust in promises and in marketing pep-talk of some employees of some distributors, operators or manufacturers. Apparently for some reasons (technical problems with integration? testing not finished? quality issues?) the A2DP is not available in Push Email upgrades... and nobody knows "if" and "when" it will be available. Today it is i-mate and Orange... tomorrow it may be other operators and distributors. If they don't show respect to you, then you shouldn't buy their products. It's THAT simple!
