As good a stream as the DAB!
User: Daniel Ratcliffe, Dec 26, 2010
Pros: Excellent sound quality, strong connection, quick repairing
Cons: Doesnt seem to connect to non-BB devices, no battery
As I type this, I am using it to charge my BB in one corner of my room while I am sat at the opposite corner. I decided having gt this, I would load my BB with some tunes.
So, I plug and pair before I have any speakers to connect it to (so typical of me, as good as my steep BB learning curve because I didnt RTFM, but thats a different story!).
Then, the day after, I was able to get access to a speaker, which I am using now. Using the 3.5mm-3.5mm as my speaker doesnt support Stereo RCA (I have a mixer I will try it in later though). The speaker is rubbish, so I wont comment on sound quality here.
However, the day I got this, I plugged in some headphones and decided to listen. Now Im an audiophile of sorts and can tell the differences between sound quality fairly well if I focus, but there was no difference to it being hard-wired here. I am very impressed with it, and will be hoping to load it with some more tunes at some point. Quality is good enough that it can compete with my DAB Digital Radio, and that is high quality!
RIM have really outdone themselves here, and I would recommend this hand-down to ANYONE who wants a somewhat wireless music system. Apparently laptops and PCs can connect to it too, however I have not tried this and therefore will not comment on this myself. Now, if RIM keep this kind of quality going, then it will be really nice to listen to. Anyway, I will continue using this and it is going to become an integral part of my sound system. Now my mum has a spare USB wall plug lying around somewhere, Im gonna grab that and use that as a power source for it, since it doesnt have a power-source built in. A small setback, but no deal-breaker for me.
Works like charm

I connected my iphone4 to the stereo gateway and it works great. I can change the music as I like along with volume control
Great for in the car, but no voice

Pros: Simple upgrade
Cons: No voice profile
My only gripe is that I cant have my Pre simultaneously recognize that when a voice call comes in, it should direct the call to the headset that I have, that its associated with. So, on the rare occasion that I get a phone call, I cant really take it hands free.
But as a way of playing any sound on the Pre (other than a voice call), its fantastic.
One more thing..

Should mention there is no power cable in the box and the unit is not chargeable so you will need to locate a permanent mini USB charger cable - used on older devices Curve 8300, Bold 9000 etc - as opposed to a micro USB charger cable used on the newer devices 9700 et al. I assume most of us have an old mini USB cable gathering dust somewhere. If not then youll need to buy one or at the very least purchase a micro to mini converter.
Truly Awesome!
