Finally my bluetooth headphones work with iPhone 4!
by abisola
A few weeks ago, I did the unthinkable and walked into the Apple store on Regent street. Unthinkable because I had banned myself from visiting any Apple store without my significant other beside me as the temptation to splurge on yet another iDevice would be too much.
I was able to resist buying any Apple products but could not stop myself from picking up a Plantronics BackBeat 906 bluetooth headphone to finally get rid of wires!
Disappointingly, the headphones would only work with my iPhone 4 held in my hand, directly in front of my face. Making me look totally ridiculous. I tried the headphones with my iPad, though, and it worked like a charm! I could keep the iPad in my rucksack and still hear music playing clearly in the headphones. Progress! The only difference between my iPad and iPhone was that I had the developer build of iOS 4.2 on the iPad.
This morning, I finally updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.2.1 and voila! The bluetooth headphones work now. I don’t have to hold my phone in my hand while making a phone call nor do I have to bring it out when I’m trying to be as inauspicious as possible while playing music or listening to the radio in the ‘dodgier’ parts of London.
I’ve got to say it was a pleasant surprise to discover that I’ve got no bluetooth frustrations any longer.
Thank you Apple!

This happened this year or in 1990? Bluetooth connectivity problems and you are thanking Apple for resolving it? Amazing.
On a side topic, that set looks wicked. how do they sound? can i get a pair? how much? And i sincerely hope that dongle like thingy is not a must!
