The latest cell phone from LG Mobile Phones and Sprint is the new PM-325 (official name: Sprint PCS Vision Picture Phone PM-325 by LG), which includes a sliding format in which the keypad slides down at the touch of a finger to reveal a larger, 65,536-color LCD screen. The phone costs $229.99 (or $79.99 after rebates with a two-year agreement), and is available at Sprint PCS stores or online.
Other features include an integrated VGA digital camera with 8x digital zoom, a built-in "self-portrait mirror," integrated Bluetooth wireless, Short Message Service (SMS) support, and an Openwave WAP 2.0 browser. The dual-band, tri-mode phone weighs 3.32 oz., has up to 1,024K bytes of data storage capability, and includes a voice memo recorder (up to 30 memos for a total of up to three minutes). The phone offers up to 3.2 hours of digital talk time, and up to seven days of standby time. It also has an "airplane mode" that turns off the antenna mode while in flight to let you still use the device for non-wireless applications.

I just bought the new LG-PM325 srpint bluetooth phone, I already have a pocket PC with bluetooth (HP ipac 4155). I was able to pair the two and the go to my phonebook in pocket pc and click on number and select "dial via bluetooth" which then gives me the option of which device to use and I select the PM-325. Then it says dialing on the pocket pc, the phone lights up, recieves the number and acts likes it dialing but then usually disconnects after a few seconds. If it hit the "ok" button on the phone while it is trying to dial it will continue to dial and then the number being dial will ring (I tested it on my home phone) and I can connect but cannot hear anything from either phone. In addition the LG phone displays "PPP[QNC]" then 2 small icons "TX" and "RX". What does all this mean? I called Sprint, they have no clue what I'm talking about. What do I need to do to make it work? Please help, Thanks
