Hi HasanDaddy

I have to precede this with a warning - I left my G5 sleeping last night and this morning found it crashed with multiple BluePhoneElite error messages on screen. When I tried to re-launch the app, it brought down the system again. Not sure what's going on, but you may have more luck with it.

Anyway - I got this working last night. First, according to the website , you may have to activate DUN under the 650's Bluetooth preferences to get the app talking to it.

Launch the app, and you should hopefully see your phone's details appear in the menubar icon (it's a cursive "e"). Click on "Preferences", then the "Rules" tab. Click on "Incoming Calls", then "Edit". Make sure that "Phone" is set to your phone. I have "Direction" set to "Any", but as I say, it's only working for incoming calls for me at the moment. (I've emailed the developer.) On the right side of this window, tick "Display caller ID alert" and optionally "Flash the screen". I also have, under the "Integration" tab, "Pause iTunes" and set iChat message to "On the phone". (A nice little touch.)

You may have to fiddle with the other tabs under Preferences to make sure your phone is properly linked with the app. For example, make sure it's active under the "Phones" tab - mine shows green tick marks for all features except "Call events" (don't know why). Under the "Calls" tab you can fiddle with the size and position of your on-screen call alert; under "General" you can specify what phone info appears in the menubar or dock (battery, network name, etc).

Like I say, I can't yet get outgoing calling working with it. The recipient phone rings just fine, but there's no activity on the cellphone.

I have the unlocked GSM 650, by the way, with T-Mobile service. If you manage to get any more BluePhoneElite features working, I'd be interested in learning how.
