Phone Handset

[netlinker]

Did anyone already check out something like this little piece?:

It might me a nice Headset for people, that want to use the Pyra as their main Phone.

I'm probably going to use some decent headphones plus the Pyra's own mic.

That looks promising!
If we could get whatsapp working somehow in the pyra I can see me using this setup as my main and only communication device

Telegram should work perfectly, so it's just a matter of convincing everyone you know to switch to that instead.

Unfortunately that's nearly impossible for most people.

My reply was intended to be (partly) humorous.

I thought this was a cool idea until I realized I only do voice a few times a week. I still think if I can get my Pyra to send notifications to my pebble and have a blutooth headset that will serve me better than this.

The featues, like it being a multimedia remote are kinda cool though.

Voice is rare for me, too. I will stick with my wired headset since I will already have it plugged in for music most of the time. If I am expecting a bunch of calls I will bring along one of the small Bluetooth handsets @Grench introduced me to a few years ago, or my bigger, more comfortable wired handset (or forward calls) when I am stationary.

I looked at the link, but didn't read it yet. If I am going to be lugging another device around I will probably just go with a small dumb burner that I almost never need to charge, and that I can abuse the hell out of without concern. That other thing does kinda look interesting, though.

Some guy was working on Android on Pandora/Pyra, not sure how that went. I'm pretty sure someone will figure it out here as soon as the Pyra is released.

 

[OppositeDay]

Pretty sure you can just run individual Android programs on GNU/Linux using containers.

biting down hard on "yo dawg I heard u like..."

I get it, for large devices, aye.
For so-called phones - the change in how we look at things over the course of their evolution is oft baffling.

Classification, convergence, divergence and bifurcation, 'tis all wild.

I discovered this by chance today at Banggood:
LONG-CZ J8 0.66-inch 300mAh Single Micro SIM Bluetooth Earphone Mini Cellphone
LONG-CZ T3 0.66-inch 500mAh High Smallest Smart Bluetooth Earphone Mini Cellphone

I don't know if this could work.
I want to use the Pyra mainly as a phone replacement.

Damn it:

Here's another bluetooth handset. Costs about 150€ though.

Other brands:
Sony Smart Bluetooth Handset SBH52
Alcatel OneTouch Hero Remote
Samsung HM500

On one of those things I'd want a lanyard hole, mini display for caller ID, the option to connect headphones and maybe a flashlight.

glob damn this shitty forum software. A new user with actual content to post can't but spammers get through on loopholes.
Here's the links I assume you were trying to post:

Looks interesting... In fact, there's a few things that look interesting on banggood, though I'd never heard of it. Is it a market place like eBay? or more of a giant shop? Has anyone used it shipping to the UK?

 

[rygD]

This thread needs more purchase links. I will check out the price and specs of the ones kuru mentioned that I don't own.

Does anyone else think it might be worth making a page for Bluetooth handsets on the wiki?

 

[Grench]

Has the first ever Pyra call been made yet?

 

[rygD]

If not, we need a video of it. It would be great if both ends of the call are a Pyra.

@WizardStan

I can't talk about uk but i bought often from germany, never had a problem. if the package didn't arrive they refund it.
It's more like a giant shop.

I totally agree.

I have ordered stuff on banggood very often, never had a problem.
Some stuff they also have on their UK warehouse.
Delivery to austria always takes up to 4 weeks.
