JETware Hands-free Extension improves Bluetooth Car Kit support in Windows Mobile phones
August 25, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R.
It works both for MS Smartphone and Pocket PC phone devices and with this utility you can improve, extend functionality or even enable cooperation of your Windows Mobile phone with Bluetooth car kits, that these days are sometimes even preinstalled by car manufacturers...
Since Microsoft's Bluetooth implementation is poor, to express it mildly, with this JETware Hands-free Extension it can be improved in the area of hands-free profile...
The JETware Hands-free Extension provides additional functionality to the built-in Windows Mobile support for the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile. The Extension allows hands-free devices to:
- Read contacts from the Outlook phonebook (“ME” phonebook)
- Read contacts from the SIM (“SM” phonebook)
- Read the list of dialed calls from the call history (“DC” phonebook)
- Read the list of received calls from the call history (“RC” phonebook)
- Read the list of missed calls from the call history (“MC” phonebook)
- Filter contacts from Outlook phonebook based on Outlook contact categories
- Limit number of contacts returned from any phonebook
- New! Activate Microsoft Voice Command voice dialing over Bluetooth
- New! Use custom ringtones through your Bluetooth device
- Show battery charge level
- Show signal strength
- Show roaming status
- Display carrier name
- Read message headings from ActiveSync, SMS, or other mail provider
- New message notification
- Delete messages
- Read SIM serial number (used to automatically select display language)
- Read GSM phone IMEI number
- Read phone default phone number
- Read current time from phone
- New! Improved Caller ID
