Pair PS3 Bluetooth Headset to Blackberry Pearl

[tdawg]

Hi All,

I just got the PS3 bluetooth headset with a game and really want to be able to pair it to my blackberry pearl as well as my PS3. I saw a product review where the reviewer stated he synced it to his curve with no issue. The fun fact is that the headset when bundled with a game doesn't come with a manual, so I have no idea if there's a button combo that puts it in discovery mode (or even if it's necessary).

So, has anybody successfully paired this headset to their phone? If so, care to share any secrets?

Thanks in advance,
Trevor

Do a BT search with the Pearl with the headset switched on. If the device supports Headset profile and is discoverable you will be able to see it and connect to it.

I turn the headset on, then the bluetooth on my phone. When I go to Options -> Bluetooth and click "Add Device" it won't find it.

Since I don't have the manual for the headset, I'm not sure if there's a button combination that puts the headset in discoverable mode.

You can use your headset with most Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phones, although advanced features such as three way calling are not
available with this headset.
Hint: If you use automatic mode to pair your headset with your PS3? system, and also pair your headset with a mobile phone, the headset
gives priority to the PS3? system when both are in range. (The headset will connect to your PS3? system, not the mobile phone.)
1 Check that the mobile phone is turned on.
2 Press and hold down the power button on the headset until the power and mic muting indicators flash alternately in green and red,
indicating that the headset is in Bluetooth® discovery mode.
3 Turn on the Bluetooth® feature on your mobile phone to enable it to scan for the headset. Refer to the instructions for use of your mobile
phone for more information.
4 From the list of devices, select ?Wireless Headset?. When prompted for a pass key, enter ?0000?.
Your headset is now paired with the mobile phone.

Awesome! Thanks uli2000! I'll be giving this a try when I get home tonight.
