I just took Continental Ny to San Francisco and back. Going, I was using my treo to read an ebook. They saw me and asked me to turn it off during take off. On...
This has been said before, but it bears repeating. There is no evidence that cell phones or other consumer electronics cause interference with aircraft...
This brings up a good discussion. I have the Jabra BT500 and had a BT250v and the thing I like about both is that the eargel sits inside my ear making it much...
Sony Ericsson HBH 660 or 662 are loud and very high quality, although discontinued. I've tried most of the BT headsets and this one is by far the best for me....
Anybody know what this is? It kept popping up in file managers when looking at the SD card. After a format, it came back. There's a directory plus a ton of...

I've not called from my Treo but did have it on during take off and landing several times - from RJ50s to 767s, no problems. Of course, the signal is much...
