[quote=ZenChick;3583213]If you take a close look at the dates each of us ABi staff has joined Head-
Fi, you'll find that most of us have been here long before you. We did not join because of you. Don't flatter yourself.

Perhaps you registered a while ago, however:

Your first post on head-fi would be yesterday into this thread where you insulted me. Interesting choice of first post.

I wonder how that happened...

Let's review the thread, shall we:
  1. The thread started off as an announcement for the P2's new firmware
  2. You jumped in with a completely unrelated post about the iPhone
I stated an opinion that I belive iPhone is more useful then YP-P2 + Bluetooth hacks.

  • Someone challenged your assertion about the iPhone
No, people started saying how their alternatives are better then an iPhone vs. Admitting the fact that iPhone is a more capable device to the the YP-P2 + BT Phone. It would have been over right there.

  • You took grave offense to having your religion challenged
And here we are.
I am not religious. I always prefer best device for the job. There is no job a YP-P2 is the best device for.

Yes, it's called lurking - what I do when I have nothing to contribute to the thread I'm reading. It's a technique you'd do well to learn.

And now, to get back on topic:

Can the P2 bond with a standard bluetooth headset for cellphones? It might be a tad awkward to have to switch headphones to take or place a call, but it's doable.

I am not religious. I always prefer best device for the job. There is no job a YP-P2 is the best device for.
You've been here so long that you factored out price alltogether. Poor you. For ME, the P2 does a better job for MY requirements as a pmp. It might not be the best device for YOU, but capability of the device is definitley different than for the touch, hence two different products, with different people. Very very different people it would seem, enough to make a war !

During my work day I hop around to a lot of customers to do service, and our company recently bought a whole new line of cars, which all have bluetooth. I service RP printers, and I'm in and out of the car several times of the day, and I'm also getting somewhere between 10 and 15 calls every day.

Now, the iphone might have done a better job at this particular job, since it could have been a wired device, but I still prefer not wearing the damn headphones all day long, so having both a bluetooth enabled car and bluetooth headphones, connected up to a bluetooth phone is a very fine solution indeed. The best there is for my wallet, and also in terms of my personal desire. We are 11 people at work now, and 7 of us already have the P2 due to our cars beeing equipped with BT. If we had ****loads of money, we would get the iphone, but we don't. If we had wifi cars or whatever with docks in it, we would still not get the touch.

And also, when mugging around with the damn device all day, radio is freakin unbelivable, like ****ing sci-fi all over. Belive me, even with 1 terrabyte of mp3s, radio is sweet mama during a working day.

That has got to be wrong. I get more out of my P2with BT on, pherhaps since I do not use wired headphones along with it while in BT mode.

What eats most battery on the P2 seems to be the use of the screen for adjusting volume and track-skipping. Having it on the BT headset seems a better solution.

As much as he pisses everyone off including me, don't feed him, and just ignore his posts, no matter how much he irks you, if we don't reply he will have nothing to say. I feel for you abi mods.
Hey dude, looking forward to your results, but in the meantime I asked one of our P2 owning members at DAPreview to do the same test, he posted his results earlier today: dapreview.net: Forums / Digital Audio Players (DAP) / **Samsung P2 Blue Wave firmware coverage** >>it's towards the bottom of the page.

Looking forward to comparing your results!

For what it's worth...

I've been getting 7+ hrs of use out of my Moto S9 stereo headset in bluetooth mode (end of S9's battery charge .. beginning with a full charge) paired with my YP-P2.. and at that point the battery on my P2 has appx. a little less than half it's charge left. More than enough for my uses, though greater battery time is always better. Frankly I expected less. All of this is with, what I would call average use of the LCD screen (shut of in 30 sec.), mainly higher bitrate encode mp3s (192 - 320 kbps), max volume output (I control the volume and change tracks from my headset), Display brightness set to 5.. and no video playback.

Music: appx. 14 hrs. (using bluetooth stereo headset)

Settings:
Display Brightness: 5
Displayoff: 30 seconds
Volume: max
Touch screen: average
Bluetooth: On

Though I have not done exact testing of the P2 battery life w/o bluetooth enabled.

..and speaking of people that have been members here for a time.. and have been lurking..ahem..
