Or Simply a one phone number 2 SIMs setup like it's possible in many countries... Keeping the tab and phone synchronized while allowing to go aroudn with one or the other

Btw in the end.. Blackberry's solution with the playbook looks actually quite good (And we can bet they'll be carreful on energy efficiency...)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] mormegil83:
I appologize if my post came across a little insulting (as is the tone i get from your response) I was just ligitimately curious. I named the Opitmus because at free or close to free on contract it wouldnt add much to the up-front cost and being android you could tether it free with a hack...

And i didn't think my comment was completely useless. using the Tab alongside a smaller cheaper android device would full fill the needs requested in this thread. get contacts receive messages/ notifications and make phone calls. Maybe just kinda opposite. instead of the Tab doing EVERYTHING and the handset just being a "dumb" device. The phone could either complement the Tab on the cheap or fully provide it with internet by tethering... just another option...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] jay_jay_n:
YUP thats why i make sure my mobile data is off and just use wifi.

i think its mainly people just still want to use the same number but be able to have the large tab put aside only when needed but everything still accessible on a secondary device without having to take out the tab just to check message or make calls.. but when u need the realistate u have the option of taking it out and not having to deal with two different numbers that people call u on as well as msg u on.

for me im used to carrying multiple devices on me, but an ideal solution would be a device that can receive all the msgs, reply and calls and phone-book from the tab but still be using the devices number. To me it would be nice if it didn't look like a phone, thats why i have the live view but its still not perfect since u can't reply and its not as user-friendly as it should be.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Alcibiade:
OK sorry if I misunderstood. Agreed with you, and it's very possible I'll go the way you suggested (But I'd prefer the 2 devices to have the same number and I don't want to spend my time switching SIMs)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Alcibiade:
We are both looking for exactly the same thing... I have to check whether cloning SIM v2 has been successful somewhere... That could be a way to own a small phone and the tablet using the same number...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] TurckBoatTruck:
Don't think sim cloning is possible, but obviously that would be nice.

Someone mentioned this earlier:

The LG HBM-700.

They are only $22 on ebay, refurb'd, so I went ahead and grabbed one to give it a try... and my initial impression is: yes.

It certainly won't do for everyone, but it looks to suit my needs: bluetooth'd handset with an LCD for caller-id and it essentially works as a small phone extension for the Tab. And did I mention that it is tiny? About 4 inches long with a pen clip on the back.

I just got it, so we'll see how I grow into it.

For the ones who wanted ot order in Taiwan the "Bluetooht phone" you cna probably order it directly from alibaba:

Just came across it by chance
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] thangquynho:
I found the seller's website, can't post it here as I'm still new.

Just google for "Bluetooth stereo headset with keypad" and you'll get them.

Looks like they're a big wholesaler from China.

I ordered from them, cost $35 + $15 EMS shipping to Singapore.

Will wait to get it and report on my findings.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] amf:
Thanks for the info. Will also order but I would like to make sure that we can change the menu language to english. Do you have any info about that? tia.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] geordy:
Just ordered one. Let's see how long shipping needs to Germany. I will report if you can change the language. Hope it's possible. Else I burned my money.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] zenbbqmaster:
What is nice is that you can completely use your tab as a separate phone line. Even as a ' player' phone if one is so inclined... ;-)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] gilrad:
Looks like Asus is getting the right idea... Lets hope this is the integrated solution that can make a one-sim tablet + extension setup feasible!

Apparently the same as QLA BR950: http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=QLA+BR950

This might be an option. No keypad or caller ID. Would probably be good around the office. http://www.nativeunion.com/

What happened to the Galaxy Tab Stylus....?

wasn't that the original idea behind the Galaxy Tab Stylus that never got released?

i personally had pre-ordered it from a European vendor back when the Tab was announced in Sept but samsung never went through and produced the accessory.

This stylus was supposed to allow us to use it on the Tab for handwriting and would contain both software for recognition and also allow the Stylus to be used as a Bluetooth speaker/phone/mic to the Tab.

we should petition Samsung to actually release that device!!

plus, i wanted originally for my iPad (that i sold for my tab) to use as a capacitive stylus mainly :)

Hi

I just received the CHinazrh BT miniphone but no sound output from the phone headset only thru stereo earphone, seems like no speaker or it is faulty. Does anyone had the miniphone to advise. Understands QLA BR950S does act like a phone, working headset as review.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] d_rk:
i have ordered one from them and they shipped to me within 3 days.. Its working good now with my Nokia E72. i think you can register and see the shipping cost to North America.. they have given different option for shipping.. cheaper and faster..

i dont think shipping will be more that $30 if you choose DHL or EMS..
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] daniel.weck:
Conflictual reviews here. Anyone else managed to place a call without the wired headphones ?

Interesting to see that model T159801 from ChinaZRH is apparently the same device as model BR950 from QLA. See the link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10402307&postcount=71

Just a rebranding for the global market place ?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Cavocavo:
I have been looking at getting a T159801 but also wanted to make sure you could use it without the headset as this is a deal breaker. Any reviews would be great.

Also at the risk of soumding stupid I would like to ask two questions.

1. What is meant by tethering and what does this achieve and what are the pros and cons of this.

2. Would a conventional blue tooth pc handset for VoIP not also work?

cheers

Hey,

I got the Mini Bluetooth Telephone that thangquynho shown on the forum.

This is my findings:

The internal speaker work ok for calls and even playing music.

The headset that comes with it work as well.

When you receive a call the mini bluetooth telephone make a beep and it vibrate as well it shows the number that is calling but not the name.

I could not managed to sync my phone book with the mini bluetooth telephone all I was get when I tried to sync the phonebook was Fail.

If anybody knowns how it can been done please let me known.

The keyboard is illuminated which is a good thing if you hgave to dial in the dark.

Overall is a new little device its ashame that the contact cannot get uploaded to the mini bluetooth telephone then this would a been a great little device.

If anybody needs any another info please let me known

Ciao

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] JaJsemMatty:
I´m using SonyEricsson LiveView in combination with SonyEricsson MW-600 bluettoth stereo handsfree.

The LiveView shows me the number or contact name if avialable and allows me to find the contact I want to call and I don´t need to get my Tab from the pocket (or bag:D). You need to install ContactCall Plugin to your LiveView. This app allows you to find contact you want to call. It has features like showing contact pics or show just the group of contact You actually need most. It is great. The disadvantages of LiveView are battery life of this gadget and connection issues (Sometimes You need to reset the bluetooth connection in your Tab to work properly).

And the MW-600 is stereo bluetooth with small OLED display,which shows you important information like name of the music track or name of contact, which is calling You. But only if You´re using SonyEricsson Phone:confused:. So there is the reason, why to use it in combination with LiveView:D. This stereo hands-free has buttons for control of your MusicPlayer and it can be connected to two devices (but not at the same time). I hope You know What I´m talking about. And the last great feature is in-built FM-Radio receiver (probably without RDS - I´m not using it:D).

Bluetooth stereo headset with keypad Model No.T159801

Received my Bluetooth stereo headset with keypad Model No.T159801 from Chinazrh.

Perfect little thing. I got it working in 2 minutes:

Pairing

Importing phonebook

Making Calls

Receiving Calls

Playing music from the tab on the stereo earset

Sound quality is surprisingly good.

Range about 8 to 10 meters from the Tab.

iPod, iPhone & iPad in one ensemble and with better sizes! Very Handy look at the pics!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] wiaza100:
Received my Bluetooth stereo headset with keypad BT-02 from Alibaba

Works well

But does not import all the contacts

Only some of them

I do not know what is the right way to import all the contacts
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] dave18:
I had the same issue. Try this. Delete all contacts in headset.Go to your tab's contacts, display options and tick only contacts with phones. I then switched off headset and restarted, connect then sync. It worked- all contacts were imported in correct order.

For others who want to know, caller id works ie the name is displayed.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] brucechamp:

Well i had same error with Alibaba, don't know why it shows task failed.

I have H10wireless Headset for my Motorola version V1.2. This has standup time up to 160 hours and noise cancellation makes it cool and got it from Chinabuye, they have all bluetooth and accessories, an gadget store from china. Rate is reasonable and its compatible with other Nokia phones too.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] masbego:
Thats cool one, can you receive phone call without earphone or headphone?

I'll buy one as soon as I've got my tab coming
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] wiaza100:
yes you can receive phone call without earphone or headphone
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] d_rk:
yes. u can contact james on sales06(at)chinazrh(dot)com email...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] fwelland:
While not as sexy as the others ones being discussed. I have a jabra bt3030 that does bluetooth stereo and calls. Bt voice commands seem to work ok too.

It is an older product, and you can find oem/white box versions for cheap.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] natious:
to be honest that looks better than anything posted here, can you use it without the headphones?

That china one everyone is getting doesn't really appeal to me, i think it looks kinda ugly haha
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] fwelland:
No - you need phones. No on-board speaker.

Jabra has another product like this call 'click' or maybe 'clip' It seems like they don't really make the BT3030 dog-tag anymore....But still available
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] masbego:
BTW is this english version?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] natious:
Im thinking of getting either of these

Helium HD880 bluetooth headset

or

Nokia BH-902 Bluetooth headset

They both have little displays, the nokia one looks a little better, but i wonder if the contacts and stuff would work
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] sgeorge:
I just received mine. It does not have an english option. But....i ran the PDF through google translate and was able to get it working. I can answer calls, stream music with a2dp. I just can read any of the menus :) So, it does a decent job.

couple notes:

when you charge it, it shuts off. Have to remember to turn it back on :)

It's very lite and tiny. I wish it were a bit larger.

battery life seems good

reliability to keep a connection seems good. Once connected, it works all day

I like this better than the LG Pen looking thingy..which I also purchased on Ebay for 20 bucks.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Justin^Tan:
someone should make a review of their mini phone and post a thread as it got very confusing which one did you guys talk about for now

and included where you bought it, how many charge per day, blablabla

would be appreciated if someone do

^^

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] :
pls, this has stereo music playback (a2dp protocol)? vibrate on incoming call?

thx
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] dave18:
bluetooth headset with keypad

Yes, stereo a2dp. Incoming with beep and vibration.The problem is scrolling to find contacts since the buttons are very small.Also, contacts with multiple nos.will display with multiple contacts with same name. You won't know which number you sre dialling. I'm now using it with my wm6.5 phone(seldom take out the tab) cleaned up contacts so now i have something like 30 frequently used phone nos.

Finally,this headset can only pair with one phone at a time which is a shame. Rgds,dave
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] :
with Galaxy TAB, is possible to answer calls using the headset internal speaker or only using the cables?

and the bt-02 is in english or only in chinesse?

thx!

Both,use the headset like phone or connect to earphones using cable. Yes,bt02 in english.

When paired with a Nokia, callerID shows.

i ran into this item in chinazrh

http://www.chinazrh.com/wholesale-sleek-designed-bluetooth-earph-p-2742.html

looks a lot like Jabra BT3030 clone

but the item description is "Keep your phone calls without been annoyed by wires"

while Jabra gets annoyed by wires since it need to plug an earphone to receive/make calls

anybody got any info on this item?

i would love to have hybra orb but its still eternally indefinite ^^

if this item can be used just like a phone, (not a speakerphone) then i would buy this one
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] :
hi,

i've received my xbs-08 from brando,

but the menus are in chinesse.

howto change to english?, please!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] wmwamidi:
That's definitely a BT3030 clone with the "wires" from the unit to the ears. Otherwise, how is one supposed to hang that dog tag on ones ear? The really wireless are, among others, Jx10 and Jx20.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] VNPython:
hi all, decided to buy the Bluetooth stereo headset w keypad during my stay in singapore and noticed how small and handy is the product upon receiving it.

1. pairing and re-connect is easy, click of a button.

2. syn contact is smooth but dunno how many contacts got into the unit. show english contact only and without spaces. example Stone Cold will be StoneCold. Chinese font contact displayed as blanks

3. stream music ok on average quality

4. button is small and firm, non-rubberized feel

5. product construction plastic-ky overall feel ok except i think the film that covers/protect the screen and button layout might peel off after sometime?

6. music button launches the music quickly. can be use with earphone via jack or listening thru the ear-piece (holding next to ear)

7. no speaker phone

will update and upload photo when i get the time.

i had this experienced with WEP 495 samsung headset from the gtab package, using it for a few days and trial to paired with my bb & samsung mobile and suddenly it won't worked (paired) with any devices.

but appreciate with samsung indonesia who took a good care of it with sending me the new one
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] TooMuchFace:
You got instructions? Argh... I didn't get any. If by chance you can scan them and send them to me, it would be appreciated. Flip me a PM.

I wish there was a way to synchronize only a certain number of contacts since it imports them as LastFirst and it is annoying. Also, they are seemingly not in alphabetic order although you can limit the list by letter by pressing the buttons (just a single letter).
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] I_MEEN:
Hi Guys,

I read the whole thread here, and I was a bit astonished how no one found about the Sony Ericsson MW600 (please google it as I cannot post a link)

I have been using it for quite a time now, and in my opinion, it give the best compromise:

It is a stereo BT headset with a crystal clear sound (for both your music and calls)

Caller Id

stays around the neck with a clip to your shirt.

interchangeable earphones

pairs with more than one device at a time (but this feature won't work with the Gtab - although it did with my iPhone 4)

and has a FM tuner.

Of course, no way to call using this but, still, the most annoying thing is to grab your Gtab just to see how is calling, while this is largely compensated here.

Btw how quickly does the battery drain on the tab having bluetooth switched on constantly?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] slimdizzy:
I got two of them. Just go to aliexpress and search "mini bluetooth phone" and it will pop right up. My sellers name was Jenny Tang to help narrow it down. The model is BT-02.

To add my two cents, i love this thing. My friends called me Zoolander for a day but now they see the usefulness of the product. Best part is that I used to plug the tab's headphone jack into the aux input in my car, now i can leave the tab in my bag and just use the handset as it is stereo.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] xd4d3v:
have you triedcontacts with multiple phone numbers?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] onklonkl:
Hi xd4d3v, this post by Dave might help you out. Around posts#100-110 in this tread you may find more info on contacts with multiple numbers.

Can anyone give an indication on the impact on battery drain on the tab and of the XBS08/BR950S? I know it is very dependant of usage patterns, but maybe someone can describe his "before vs. after" experience.

Is the "just plug it in in the evening" scheme for my Tab still quite viable (as it is now, I have a fairly moderate usage pattern) or will I have to carry an adapter with me all day?

And does the "headset" last at least as long as the tab itself on a charged battery?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] lianopbs:
new version of this stuff

I wonder if you can pair up multiple phones on this...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] skrallanuk:
That new version looks quite ok, although no price for it? And the payment options don't match either. Difficult to order to Europe as this will probably ne stuck in customs resulting in me having to fork out extra to them as well.
