I just got a new cell phone (VX8300), and when i click and hold a name
in my pda's contact list and click 'Dial via Bluetooth' It sends the
phone number to be dialed, however, it sends it as a data phone call
(assuming for fax or internet purposes). However, i just want it to
dial it as a regular voice phone call.

Should a setting be modified on my pda or my cell phone to make this
work as it should? When i tried this feature on a motorola q, it
dialed it as a voice phone call, which was correct. The age of my cell
phone should have nothing to do with it, because my pda is older than
my phone, and newer phones have performed this feature successfully
before.

(Yes you're probably asking why dont i just dial the number through my
cell phone's built in contact list, however, my pda has the most up to
date information concerning contacts)

ANY HELP, OPINIONS, THEORIES, etc is appreciated!


My Stats:
PDA: Ipaq 4355
OS: Windows Mobile 2003
PHONE: LG VX8300

Does it stay connected as a data call or will it switch to voice in time?
Back before I had a PDA phone,
when I dialed two different models of Nokia phones via BT, my phones
displayed a "D" (for "data call") during
the dialing and for just a few seconds after, then the "D" vanished and
the
phone's mic and speaker kicked in.

So, is your phone staying in data mode or are you panicking when you see
the display say it's a data call and hangup before it has a chance to go
into voice mode? ;-)

No, I'd ask you why don't you just get a PPC6700 and only have to carry
one
device! ;-)

I have the earlier XV6600 PDA/phone. One advantage to a PDA/phone is
that unlimited data is $45/mo, rather than the $60 charged for regular
cell phones. With a free copy of wModem (which also works on the 6700),
you can tether the phone to your laptop. You can also use Bluetooth on
the laptop to use the device as a modem.
