Blinking/Flashing Antenna - Treo Forums

2005Irvine · 08-20-2005, 08:36 PM

I haven't bought Treo 650 yet but will do that soon. The thing is that I am deaf and I don't like the vibrating alert as it practically gives me an heart attack each time I am driving on the freeways. That is the RIM I am talking about and it gotta go fast. Smile. I do know cell phones have this wonderful flashing light antenna but have never seen on on any Treo. Please give me leads/links you know that will definitely work with either
Treo 600 or 650.

I think you might be out of luck on this one.....
I have researched and found nothing for the Treo 650.....

I know that those flashing antennas really don't work well on most phones....

Mainly CDMA phones only.

What do you think of this cellular flashing pen that goes off as soon as it detects incoming calls? I have never heard of this until I did some researching on Internet and this feature sounds interesting? Any feedbacks???

I seen that but never heard of anyone using it.....might be something to try out if its not too expensive.....

I'll look into it......and then get back to you later tonight.....

EDIT.....I just talked to a buddy of mine who bought one for his dad......
Said it works great except it occasionally gives a false indicator....

He said that it goes off sometimes if on the bus and someone else gets a call or in the airport ....

Although the good news is he said he can't remember a time his dad missed a call.....

He keeps it in his shirt pocket and can see it at all times pretty much....

Give it a shot ther are a bunch of sites with them at a reasonable price.....

here is a review I just found.....has a laser pointer or a mini flashlight in it too....
