wow, bluetooth car owners starting to get really pissed off at Sony Ericsson (Apr 19 2004 15:58 GMT) - as more and more bluetooth phones are entering the market, and more and more bluetooth cars are entering the market - consumers are starting to see the writing on the wall as to the incompatibilities that result from devices not supporting both the "handsfree" AND "headset" bluetooth profiles. i've kind of shook my head in just *another* example of a device manufacturer leaving out *one critical feature* for their flagship devices. how can anyone be surprised? those who have done a lot of reseach and layed down $800 for their P900 to work with their bluetooth car are rightly starting to get pissed. i do this stuff for a living, but how can the average consumer know about the intricacies of bluetooth profiles? |
