Thanks, this is also interesting, though of no use for me personally; I turn bluetooth on very seldom on my phone (maybe every few months for a few minutes, when I want to send some pictures to my wife's phone or something). Similarly for the GPS; I use it much more often, but still not all the time. > -Brett.
