Question

Anyone know of a Bluetooth one?

It'd be nice to send photos from my nice new camera via Bluetooth to my GPRS phone to transfer at 56k instead of 9.6k

What exactly are you looking for, is it a Bluetooth CF card to place in your Camera. Is so theres quite a few around take a look at www.expansys.co.uk, BUT I think you will struggle to find drivers for your Digital Camera.

I use Bluetooth to connect my PDA to GPRS phone and it works a treat, although I think you've been reading the GPRS marketing hype, because most of the time your lucky to be assigned to GPRS timeslots giving you around 17-18Kbps. I've been using GPRS since it was launched in the UK and never jave I seen more them 2 TS in a GPRS connection even with modern GPRS terminals that have the ability to support 4 or 5 for downloads.

Cool

The camera is a Ricoh i500 & has some built in functionality enabling it to use a CF Modem to dial an ISP & send emails or data transfer.

That means trogging round the country with a load of bits of wire & looking for a phonepoint

Far nicer to use that functionality to connect my camera to my T39 GPRS Bluetooth phone, wirelessly, & use that to send the images I'd just taken

Lots of situations where that would be a nice functionality...

Mind you, probably reading too much hype about bluetooth too
