Want to use 7650 with Bluetooth Headset? You can!

If this has been reported before then I can't believe I managed to miss it.

Apparently you can use a bluetooth headset with the 7650 if you have software version 4.39, although it takes up every last ounce of the phone's memory....

I'm not sure if I believe it but here's the proof from a very reputable source of tech. info:

Let me know what you all think.

Call me a pessimist, but the tone of the messages really look like they're pulling this guy's leg - ESPECIALLY the bit about erasing all your memory on the phone to use the bluetooth headset profile. That smacks of trolling.

The 6310i certainly has a LOT less memory than the 7650, yet it supports the bluetooth headset profile. Why would a relatively simple protocol require >3mb of memory? Hmm..

I have spoken to a local insider here, who told me that the reason the 7650 does not support the headset profile is in the hardware. Apparently, the 7650 lacks a certain component.
I don't know whether he was pulling the wool over my eyes, so I'm slightly doubtful of that, too, but I thought I'd just throw that into the melting pot.

It will probably work on the 7650, because it doesn't use the 7650's built-in Bluetooth - in fact, it ignores it.

You'll be able to use this wireless headset in exactly the same way as you'd use it in, say, an 8310, or a 5510 (which uses the same connetion type as the 7650)
