I was really hoping that the MS BT stack in WM6 would be better than it is
in WM5 but boy is it a dissappointment. The BT stack in WM5 AKU 2.x was
bad but not this bad. If you used the widcom stack instead of MS's version
sound was clean and distance was good but you couldn't use Voice Command on
your headset. In addition stereo BT worked perfectly unlike the MS version.
Then WM5 AKU 3.5 came out and the sound was better and the distance was
better than AKU 2.x however still not as good as Widcom's stack but a
definite improvement. I figured WM6 would make the BT stack a priority
since there were so many postings about how bad it was. Nope, MS decided
to actually take a bad thing and make it worse! There are tons of posts on
PPCgeeks and PDAphone about how your sound choppy to your callers when you
speak on the WM6 device through a BT headset. While they sound fine to
you, you are broken up on their end. Furthermore, WM6 BT stack seems more
susceptable to static even at short distances!
This is not an issue with one or two BT manufacturer headsets. The reports
are from many manufacturers and many models - the issue is with MS, not the
headsets.
OH and no surprise the WM5 stack had a problem with headsets with DSP
technology and they continued the streak with WM6.
What do we have to do to get MS' attention on this issue. BT isn't a fad,
it is picking up momentum as more and more people use wireless headsets and
states regulate no hand held phone operation in vehicles.
