Anyone know of a web site which lists models of mobile phones i.e. ones that have Bluetooth?

Or even better can recommend/comment on a few as I am looking at changing my mobile for one which has bluetooth so I can then use a bluetooth "hands free" kit in my car

Just all the normal network web sites I go to I have to click on every dam phone they sell just to see if it has bluetooth or not and from what I can gather not many do.

have a look here. As Apple's iSync uses bluetooth they list all the bluetooth enabled phones. I've got a SE T68i which is rather nice.

Nokia 6310i - not the state of the art or the height of fashion, but does what it says on the tin, and its got Bluetooth, plus its relatively cheap. My mate's got one and a Bluetooth car kit and he loves it. As soon as he gets in the car, it pairs up and you're away, I think it even supports voice dialling.

Hope this helps,

Yea did think about the 6310i but like you say its a bit old now and a bit big, well compared to most now.

Any one got a Sony T610? they any good?

T610 are not too bad at all, personally I would get the latest Sony Erricson one though, Z600 or sommit like that.

You are indeed right, didn't know about the Z600 just had a look on the web and they seem like a good candidate

Got all the latest features Inc the bluetooth plus from what I can tell isn't like a brick to carry about.

Go on eBay for about £200 I think. Came across the P900 but that looks too big and is rather expensive too.

I've got a T610 and I use the bluetooth for an SE HBH20 handsfree jobbie which they are selling in Phones4U for £80 at the moment (I paid £30 on the net for it in July ). The handsfree dialing on voice recognition works quite well in the car, but given the choice, I would like to get a proper bluetooth car kit which hooks into the back of the radio in its place.

On the subject of Nokia 6310i phones...
as it seems to be the phone of choice for the discerning businessman, you can have a fun time in any public place by bluejacking everyone with bluetooth enabled.
The confused looks are hilarious!

couple of options. Get a bluetooth phone as mentioned (The new Nokia 6600 is worth a look too)

Or you could get a bluetooth personal headset for other phones. Link sell one for £80 which comes in two bits. One bit goes in your ear like a normal bluetooth headset, the other bit plugs into the bottom of your phone to make it bluetooth.

I have the 6310i / Bluetooth CARK combo which I'm very pleased with. And yes, I was Bluejacked in a bar the other day.

Thumbs up

Ive just gone from a T68i to the Z600 and think its great. Easy to use, has most functions as far as I can tell.

Very similar to the T610 I believe, but in a different package. I have never really liked clam shell phones but after always inadvertently ringing people on my T68i and other phones (even with keylock) decided to go for one this time - plus, want to protect the screen now they have gone all tarty.

Havent bluetoothed yet - if Santa doesnt leave me a kit I will probably get one after chrimbo.

I've just received my Jabra BT200 for 40 quid from Amazon (bizarrely they were the cheapest I could find).

Happily talking to my 6310i - now off to try someone else

Cool - how about making a call - same principle?

Can imagine my phone trying to call someone cos its picked up on a conversation I'm having with a mate containing the words CALL and my gfs name - could be very dodgy that

you have to press the button on the back of the headset before it will listen for a voice dial command. Good bit of kit though
