Bluetooth Modem Review

One of the things keeping me from going with the smaller iPAQ 1945 or 4000 series is a lack of a compact flash slot. I still need to use a plain old 56K modem sometimes and there just aren't any in a SD format. One of the alternatives though is a new bluetooth modem. Simply bond your device to the modem, plug a phone line into the modem and dial away.
Geekzone has aquired the Zoom 4300 Bluetooth Modem and written up a review of it. "In less than three minutes I had the modem connected to our landline and from the home office I was able to pair and dial up to our network. The modem is a Class 1 device, which means a 100 meter range when used with another Class 1 device. In my case the laptop is equipped with a Bluetake BT007, another Class 1 device."
Three minutes? Now that is how bluetooth is supposed to work. ;) I am 99% sure this is it at Amazon (affiliate) though there is no mention of bluetooth or an image. The part number is right.
