I have a Nokia N-800 and today I bought a Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-800.
I can activate and pair the headset with the Nokia N-800 but the green light is flashing everytime. Manuals say that a blue light indicate that all is ok. I can use the headest yet. Someone knows how to connect it ? I would appreciate some help.

Just out of curiosity: Does the N800 show up on the BH-800's compatibility list? Or did you perchance get a mysteriously A2DP-enabled N800?

If the answer to both questions is "no", you bought something without reading up on it first, which is not smart (but hey! we all do that: I e.g. thought "NDAS" would not be significantly different from "NAS" and got stuck with a cheapo network hard disk my N800 won't be able to see).[*]

However, depending on what you want to do with the headset, all might not be lost (although, from looking at the pictures of it, you might be scr*wed anyway): This forum has a "search" menu option and by entering relevant terms in the box -- such as, oh "A2DP" jumps to mind -- there may be the distinct possibility of you getting some relevant (although perhaps not releaving) information on the subject.

Oh well... Short answer: You won't be able to make calls with it.

Slightly longer answer: Other things might be possible, but not very useful, as this is a phone, not music earpiece.

Final answer: IT'S NOT A PHONE!!! WHY DID YOU BUY PHONE GEAR FOR SOMETHING THAT'S NOT A PHONE???!!! :rolleyes:
