Why no bluetooth add on?

Why has no one managed to produce a bluetooth add on for the 9210?

I am no techie so confused as to how you can purchase a 'bluetooth enabled battery' for the 6210 but no one has produced one for the communicator?

Surely I can not be the only one in desparate need of bluetooth?

You are not the only one. I would also like a bluetooth add on (or a ethernet add on). I think the problem is that companies don't see a big enough return on investment for such a product. Not only does one have to design the hardware, but also the required drivers and the software for the system. And all this for what will always be a very small market.

And don;t forget that any BlueTooth device you want to conenct with will need a driver to be written especially for the Nokia to understand it. So even with 'default' printers and monitors and keyboards and ridges, that would be a lot of low level grunt work.
