stevestojan Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I love my cell phone (Nokia 6800) . Its perfect because I send a ton of emails when away from work, and it is perfect for that. Also, it has an FM radio that I use all the time (hence, I don't want to go to the very similar 6820 that HAS bluetooth, but no radio). Anyway, does anyone know if they make adapters so you can use Bluetooth on phones that don't have them? I want to use a blue tooth headset. I googled "addon bluetooth" and such, with nothing... anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfladave Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'm surprised noone has given you any input. I was wondering the same thing regarding my phone so I did a quick search and found this. It is not much, but it does indicate it is possible. I found it under technical questins at bluetooth.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I haven't seen that, but given the pricing of new phones these days it probably makes more sense just to upgrade to a bluetooth phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you're near the end of your contract. They're all but giving phones away these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 I think i might have to go to the Nokia 6820 (basically the same phone, but no Radio)... I looove the radio, because I haaate having a bunch of stuff in my pockets (I often put ALL of my change into the give-a-penny jar, i hate clutter in my pockets)... anyway, sorry for the rant.. Anyway, my current phone is great, because i get to work, and can listen to stern on it, and then my country music all day long... and the battery life is amazing. The 6820 is apparently an upgrade, but they left off the radio. . . annoying, but its got blue tooth, and I really would like to have it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Unless you add hardware, I doubt you can have bluetooth. In order to keep the phone the same size, they probably put the bluetooth antenna where the radio was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjeff215 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 As far as I know, no. If there was, chances are it would be an add on available from Nokia and would jack right into your phone's data port... and if you were going to plug in something, it might as well be your headphones.
