If you think that's bad - consider us poor 7650 users.
Bought it for its bluetooth and extensive phonebook capabilities.
Have spent a small fortune on a bluetooth in-car kit and bluetooth earpieces, etc.
None of them work with the 7650 ! :-( - and it wasn't exactly a cheap phone to start with !
Must admit, IR works okay on it - but no use for hands-free ! :-)

This is because the 7650 is bluetooth data only, no audio!
