Blueant Supertooth II Bluetooth Portable Handsfree : Nice work Blueant!

What can I say? The latest incarnation of the Blueant Supertooth (aptly named Blueant Supertooth 2) is a superb bluetooth gadget. Compared to its predecessor (which was pretty good in its own right), the Supertooth 2 has better battery life (20hr talk time!), improved Digital Sound Processor and to be quite frank, looks much more 21st century.

I've had mine for around four days now and it's not going anywhere soon! It sits quite nicely on my sunvisor. Even though it's battery operated, it'll be replacing the Blueant Ezytalk in my car. I just like the look and operation of this unit better. The Blueant Ezytalk is ideal if you don't want to fuss around charging bluetooth handsfree units - it's powered by the cigarette lighter socket.

Setup on the Blueant Supertooth 2 Bluetooth Handsfree
For my fellow O2 XDA IIs owners out there, you'll be delighted to know that setup was very straight forward and took less than a minute to complete. To pair the devices these devices together these are the steps I carried out:

1. Turned on Blueant Supertooth 2 by opening the swivel arm microphone. "On" state will result in the bluetooth indicator light flashing.

2. Pressed the Reject Button and the Pick Up button together until the bluetooth indicator LED flashed red and blue - this takes around 5 seconds. The alternating colour flash signified that the Blueant Supertooth II was now in pairing mode. I found getting to this point was faster than the first Supertooth.

3. Tapped on Bluetooth Symbol on today screen to bring up the Bluetooth Manager > New > Handsfree/Headset Setup> Next > Display All Devices

4. Selected "SupertoothII 3.7" from the list, pressed Next

5. Entered the Device pairing PIN then OK

6. Tapped Finish

For most other bluetooth mobile phone devices, it'll be fairly much the same procedure except that steps 3 and onwards will be a little different due to the varying operating systems/bluetooth managers on each phone. Here's a link to the Blueant Supertooth 2 Manuals page which I must say, is very comprehensive. Another link pointing to the Blueant Supertooth 2 Mobile Phone Compatibility List.
