No argument here - It seems like the exclusion was conscious, but I
can't figure out why.  If VOIP is a marketed feature (Gizmo and now
Skype) why require us to remain tethered.  This is Nokia man, it's not
like they don't make their own bluetooth headsets which I am sure
could be nicely bundled.

It would also be nice if we could get (think it's called) OBEX support
built in so you could bluetooth beam files back and forth between
phones and computers.  The file manager does a nice job letting you
browse a bluetooth device (at least my phone) but it's not quite the
same thing.

Let's hope future firmware updates include enhancements as well as fixes.
