omi205: This isnt so great, crashes system every time you get a call or message or anything!!! some one help me out since i need a bluetooth mp3 player
jasons219: I love having the ability to use my ReVo BT stereo headset with my Treo 755p. This application has been great and well worth the money. Gave it a 9 out of ten because everything has room for improvement.
roseyjr: this program works great! it was just what i was looking for my treo 680.
farblunget: This software has some serious problems. The channels are backwards and out of phase on my Plantronics Voyager 855, which makes it extremely uncomfortable and effectively useless for stereo media. The 1.18.1828 version of the Audio Gateway causes Callrecorder to reboot the device, so the gateway doesn’t really function for anything useful. The author is very slow to respond to critical bug reports (been two weeks since I reported the reboot problem and no answers yet).
borderboy: it is really good i like it
KabukiAssassin: I would give this a full 10 if it didn't completely lock up my 700p whenever the music starts playing. I have to either reset it or pop the card out to get it to respond. Other than that it works great & sounds excellent.
Smoothbassman: This system is excellent! I'm just wondering if palm had native bluetooth would it work this good? It paired instantly and all my music and videos come loud and clear the headphones! All the controls work with PTunes with no issues. I'm using a motorola M9 and the sound is great! Its better than to corded headphones I was using before! I'm buying this as soon as the trial period is over. This is a must have on a 755P. fully cord free! The calls come thru only the left ear, but thats not a big deal.
psiren13: ditto the last comment! I was tired of being shorts in my wired accessories...I like jogging and didn't like the hassle of clipping and tucking wires. This program is completely worth it!!
Morenito: 680 Owners looking for Wireless headphone use DEF DOWNLOAD THIS!! I was so upset-well rather pissed off when i purchased my Motorola S9 headphones, let them charged, then they didnt work GRRR! BUT i came straight here and downloaded this and now they work PERFECT! The S9's are louder than my wire headsets! Once again thank you MyTreo.net!
kaanjii: Really great sound....once I decided to spend the xtra money for the motorola Ht820 and then find this software things have never been better, why wear wires?
