The Tungsten PDA

In the comments of the post where he pondered aloud about what the PDAs that are unknown to the general public, Gaspar asked me whether it would be possible to use a Palm (Tungsten T3 in his case) as a hands-free cellphone, as the bears in the car as a GPS navigator, and also would like to use it to receive incoming calls, and thus avoid having the phone to occupy the site.

He commented that I do not have bluetooth on your phone, or microphone in the E2, so I've never tried. However, I have researched on the subject, and I have come to two conclusions: the first is that there are far more people trying to do the same. And the second is that there is a technical obstacle: as I read in the forums of PDAExpertos:

From my experience what you say is not possible with a TT3 or with a TT2. What if you can do is use the marker to call a contact directly from the calendar, send and receive SMS, surfing the Internet, watch the mail, but not hands-free.

[...]

The Bluetooth of the TT3 has no audio profile so that you can not use it as a handsfree.

That last comment I found it too when they tried to use a Zire 72. Therefore, it seems certain that the lack of this profile in the implementation of the bluetooth, prevents use as a handsfree phone. As always, this is what I found, and if someone has more information at its disposal to expose the comments are.
