I've recently purchased a Blackjack, and I'm quite interested in using
to play recorded MP3s of my talk radio shows. The recordings are
24-64kbps recordings from broadcast, so I'm fine with low-quality mono
playback if that's all I can get. I seem to be in the minority in that
most people are interested in enjoying high-quality music playback.

At any rate, after pairing my Blackjack with my Jabra BT350 and
switching to the "Headset" profile, phone activity over BT worked fine,
but when I fired up the pre-installed WMP to play an MP3, it came over
my phone speakers. Disappointing. I was advised by a Windows Mobile
developer to "check out A2DP." Apparently, the Blackjack supports this
BT A2DP profile (among others) and adjusting this profile might get me
what I want. Unfortunately, I can't seem to navigate my menus to
anything resembling BT Profiles - all I get is the standard set of
profiles (Normal, Silent, Outdoor, etc).

Is this a hardware issue? Do I need a A2DP headset to listen to MP3
from my Blackjack? Would I fare any better with the wired headphones
that Samsung offers as an accessory?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Ken

Ken,

If WM5 is similar to previous BT Configs - try this:
Press Start
Press More
Press More
Press Configurations
Now - you can do a search/destroy for your BT settings

I wasn't able to ID a setting like you might be looking for - perhaps
there is software that comes with the stereo headset? I have a lot
more settings for my BT Keyboard (internal to the Keyboard software)

Daniel, thanks for the reply.

When I execute your steps, I get to the last Start Menu screen and see
only "Settings". I do not see "Configurations". It might be worth
noting that I got the device from Cingular and they've pre-loaded,
reorganized, and possibly hidden things. Is there a way for me to get
access to this "Configurations" applet?

I bought the plain old wired, non-BT headset last night, and it works;
I can play MP3s through it using WMP. Of course, I'd much rather use
the BT headset.
