Go to your "preferences" menu and then choose the "handsfree". There you can choose whether or not you want the autoanswer feature to work.

I have the same problem, and when i did disable the auto answer in preferences it still automatically answers for some reason, even though the auto answer is disabled....can someone help me out?

On the palm site if you look around they have recommended devices. I know that the headset company says certain ones will work with the 650 but I'd go with palms list or make sure you can return the model for one that will.

I believe in palms data base there was a statement that some headsets work but will auto answer the call. Not certain but I read it somewhere. I was going with the h850 model but read here it was hit and miss so I passed. (to far to exchange or return via mail)

I was looking for a cheap (price) with an older proven model but have not come up with one yet. I thought the vibrate feature would be too cool, but then read that the headset will beep an incoming call even if your phones ringer is off. The search goes on.

. i guess i gotta look for another one like you said

hmmn....I knew the 700 had issues but thought the 500 would work. My son has that one I just have not had time to set it up.

[andrew_l]

well if you could set it up sometime and let me know and tell me how yours goes then let me know...it would be greatly appreciated

The headset worked fine. (motorola 500) It had a little static but not bad. You have to wait for the headset to notify you of a call then you can answer. (not when the phone starts ringing.

I had an issue with the volume but it was not bad. It seems that with the headset on the speaker was next to the upper part of my ear instead of the lower part. Not sure if that could be adjusted or not.

Well every bluetooth I've tried auto answers its always getting me in trouble does anybody have a real suggestions besides just don't use one.

After much searching and experimenting, I finally got my Treo 650 to wait until I press the answer button on my H700 headset before answering. At the end of the pairing process, choose "Car Kit" instead of "Headset" when asked to select the type of handsfree device. Go figure. See the review and comments at:
