It looks like there's finally a CDMA 1xRTT phone with Bluetooth that I can use! I wonder why they had to make it so ugly though? (see the photo at infoSync)
"Audiovox' latest handset, the 9155-GPX, provides not only connectivity to CDMA2000 1xRTT networks, but also offers integrated Bluetooth and positioning services through gpsOne. As CDMA2000 1xRTT networks are growing increasingly common, the need for handsets that can shift data at speeds of up to 144 Kbps grows imminent. So far, there hasn't been any lack of handsets - and Audiovox Communications is doing its part to help prevent shortages with its new 9155-GPX handset which not only supports 1xRTT but also gpsOne positioning services.
Currently shipping to carriers, the 9155-GPX is a CDMA tri-mode (800 MHz CDMA, 1900 MHz PCS and 800 MHz AMPS), web-enabled, CDMA2000 1X-capable handset equipped with the MSM5100 chipset that has Bluetooth capability and gpsOne-based location positioning. gpsOne enables wireless carriers to pinpoint the geographic location of a caller who dials 911 emergency services on a system-compatible handset."
