The History of Bluetooth and how it all started inside latest issue of What Mobile. It all started in 985 AD because of some bloke who unified Denmark and Norway. His name was King Harald 'Bluetooth' Blåtand and was King of Denmark between 940 & 985 AD and thanks to his good deeds scientists decided to name the networking technology Bluetooth after him. Then Ericsson invented the technology. Read more at

Yes the problem with infrared was you had to put both phones very close together and sometimes it would not work properly in daylight as no other light should get in the way. Hail Bluetooth.

I fo one wouldnt even dream of jhe infrared. The electro magnetic spectrum waves of the bluetooth are much more powerfull and fast to connect. But then do we have any remote controls that use bluetooth?

nope. its infrared, but its so much different from the infrared of cellphones, in remotes you can use it for a few meters away from the tv and still responds. but can you do that in cellphones? no, because you need it centimetres away and the speed is so slow.

Hi all,
Ericsson where indeed innovators in adapting Bluetooth technology for Mobile Phones one of the first items they developed was Bluetooth Headset that made you look like a switchboard operator. They also developed the first Bluetooth adapter for handsets so non Bluetooth equipped handsets could take advantage of this technology.
I was fortunate at that time to have access to late proto's for testing and evaluation as well as the below SH-888 which i sold large numbers of as it really was a breakthrough Data product at the time.
If i remember correctly the first was the HBH-10 that included the adapter BDA-10 for your non Bluetooth Ericsson handset. Pictures and details can be seen here along with a staggering price of $195 back in the late 90's compare that to the size and price now.

If my memory serves me right one of the first and definitely IMO the best Bluetooth equipped Data handsets was the SH888 a truly great handset in it's time. As can be seen here
http://www.ciao.co.uk/Sony_Ericsson_SH888__87248
This at the time was my favorite handset and miles ahead of anything else on offer and back then 9,600 or 14,400kbps where the max Data speeds available and that is why the current speeds of up to 3.6mbps are so amazing to me.
Personally i really miss those days and the great handsets that Ericsson delivered brimming with the latest tech and quality.
