I've seen references to a USSD widget that supports this. Google gave me this link. I haven't tried it myself.

I think it is that the TomTom doesn't recognise the N900 as a phone and this is a problem with the N900, not TomTom.
hello...like you i was thinking of getting a tomtom simply for hands free....did you get this resolved....??

I wouldn't recommend that - I find that sometimes my TomTom doesn't output incoming voice from a call (even though it connects without a problem these days). Also, it is not particularly loud. To me it is OK for *very* occasional use. If I needed a hands free more than very occasionally, I would get a separate one and not rely on my TomTom.

I miss using my tomtom for traffic etc too, it see's my n900 fine, but when it connects to it, the tomtom says my phone does not have the right features to support the tomtom! only an old tomtom go 300 but it worked fine on every other phone i've had

Please see "Fremantle Unsupported Bluetooth profiles".

From what I've seen, thus far, tethering to the N900 hasn't been widely tested with a wide range of devices, so there may be other, yet unknown little gotchas requiring work arounds. If you attempt to tether your Go 720 and run into trouble, please post a request for help.

So how do those of us that are not developers get this support. Anyone out there want to provide something to install that does the job of the script(s) mentioned in this forum? I HAD to change my 6682 (loved that phone) and chose the N900 but really, really, miss my traffic app with TomTom. It looks like I need DUN support (why doesn't Nokia do this?) and something that makes the N900 look like a phone.

Have you tried Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking? It was released in Extras last year, so it is readily available via Application Manager.

So is it possible for a tomtom device to get the hdtraffic info via an internet connection? I thought this was nly possible with the tomtom live boxes that include a gsm chip...

Just downloaded that and thanks, now the two pair with each other but still TomTom cannot access the data it needs. Looks like I need to look into codes etc. Even though the 6682 just worked.
