Droid and Motorola T505

[LennyPK]

Anybody using the Droid with Motorola's T505 car speakerphone? I would like to go as hands-free as possible, so I am considering this purchase... IF it plays nice with the Droid.
Can I initiate a call with this unit or will it only connect after a call connection is made - like my current mono Bluetooth headset?

How well does the FM modulator work for playing Droid music through the cars speakers.
Will it mute the music when call comes in?
Can I answer an incoming call by voice through the T505.

Also interested in any feednack from anyone using the Blueant Supertooth 3. It claims that an incoming call CAN be answered through voice response.

Can I answer an incoming call by voice through the T505. - no

I am still confused about this. Is it a limitation in Bluetooth capability or a limitation of the Droid? If it's a bluetooth limitation why do I see the following from an Ebay ad for the T505

I have the T505 - I ordered the DROID Friday and I should get it Monday or Tuesday.

I've had the T505 for over a year using it with my WinMo Samsung Omnia. The audio is perfect, it's abilithy to find a clear FM station is good. Holds a charge for a long time.

As for answering the phone on the WinMo - when a call comes in you either press the answer on the phone device or the phone button on the T505.

I will post my findings as soon as my :motdroidvert: arrives

I have been using the T505 with my Droid. Works great. I love listening to Pandora over FM. Sound quality for call is very good.

OK got the phone yesterday, wife had the T505 with her. Tried it this morning.

Works like a charm. Pairing was easy. Didnt have any of my music downloaded to the Droid yet...so I installed Pandora.

Music was perfect :icon_ banana:

Question for Shazam or anybody with MotoRokr T505.

o.k., it's working great with my Droid - streaming music and sound through my cars audio system.

When I get in the car in the morning the Droid connects with the T505 and all is well.

When I leave my car the Droid does not always disconnect from the T505 - bluetooth is still active, so all sound is going to T505 - no sound on the phone. I have to turn off bluetooth to make a call.

Isn't the connection supposed to drop on its own when I leave the car??

Depends on how far away you get from the T505. When I leave the car I. Toggle off the BT on the Droid, the t505 will power itself off. I have a widget that let's me toggle bt, wifi, GPS and screen brightnes

 

[LennyPK]

How did you create that widget(s)?

 

[TheShaz]

Its the POWER WIDGET - it comes built in.

Click and hold on a empty space on the desktop and select widget and scroll thru for POWER.

So when I get ready to leave the car I toggle off the BT on the DROID, the T505 will say "Connection Dropped" and it will after 5min power itself down.

I broke my BT earpeice and have yet to replace it. So I turn off BT to save battery.

If I had a BT earpeice, I would PWR down the T505, then power up the BT earpeice to pair it and then leave the car.
