Hello,
Good morning out here in Pa. Does the Oklie Sunglasses work with a
Voice note?

Hi Gerry and All,
I'm clearly not Mike, but I've been using the Oakley ROKR Pro
Bluetooth sunglasses with my PK for a couple of months and wouldn't
go back to any other method. If you already wear sunglasses, which
I did, then the convenience of no longer messing around with wires,
and just being able to lift the earphones slightly out of the way, is
second to none. That's one of the really nice things about the
sunglasses: the earphones are on a clever joint which easily stays
out of the way so as not to block hearing when you aren't actually
needing to listen to the GPS, and you hardly notice it's there.
I found a Bluetooth dongle from Actisys which fits straight onto the
PK as if it were made for it. Pairing is simple, and I've used it
with my phone too, although the audio quality from the Nokia N70 is
dreadful, when compared to the dongle from any ordinary audio jack.
So with the PK, the quality is good, and you can use it for
audio-books or even music too.
Battery life is good enough for a day out, but it's still a good idea
to have a back-up earphone.
I hope that helps.
Best,
Peter
