whatever I bought from Aldi broke up very soon, electric toothbrush, used once, on/off button broke, secreters, cut one brunch, twisted and useless etc etc

plus it means you'll have to enter the ALDI store.... can you live with the shame?

You could always upgrade the X51 to the widcomm bluetooth stack

Moto phones tend to be a bit hit'n'miss when it comes to bluetooth devices - in my experience anyway. But the Pebl is bluetooth enabled so it will be able to link up to another bluetooth device.

My advice however would be to skip Aldi and head to the Carphone Warehouse who usually are better if things go wrong and for the same price you can get a matching Moto headset or even a Nokia branded one - see here.

The one I use is second from top in that list - has been working fine for months, no problems at all.

Apparently so, I found This 53 page thread over on aximsite on how to do it, along with downloadables, which include A2DP support on the X51V

Can't be worse than the MS stack lol, I remember that from the XDAII lol.

it's the same as anything else, take a backup before modding, worst case - hard reset and restore from the backup, but can it REALLY be worse than the MS stack?

Back to topic momentarily, I would follow Russ's advice regarding the headset, but also shop around, I picked up a Jabra BT800 headset for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10 a while back by shopping round.
