Bluetooth upgrades for the Sidekick LX and Sidekick Gekko

The Sidekick LX OTA is going to open up quite a few new features for Bluetooth on the Sidekick LX. All of these features are of course software based so everything that the LX is getting, the Sidekick Gekko will also have. Here’s a list of the bluetooth features:

* Phone calls – Use either a Bluetooth hands-free headset or car kit. Read more in Bluetooth Hands-Free Headset (Mono/Stereo) or Hands-Free Car Kit.

* vCard exchange – Send your vCard or any of your contacts’ vCards using Bluetooth. Read more in Set and Send My vCard and Send and Receive vCards.

* Listen to music and videos – Listen to your music or videos using a Bluetooth stereo headset or speakers. Read more in Listening Choices.

* File exchange – Exchange photos, music, or videos that you’ve stored on your memory card with other Bluetooth devices. Read more in Send and Receive a File.

* Print – Print a photo on a Bluetooth printer. Read more in Send a Photo to a Printer.

Yes, it says “Print a photo on a Bluetooth printer! Pretty cool if you ask me. I’ll be at the local Best Buy printing off pictures of my cat if you need me.

    I doubt it has anything to do with the microsoft acquisition. Probably because the Sidekick Gekko will have all of this out of the box and it would be quite silly if the lx didn’t. Seeing that its a higher pv so it should have all of what the Gekko has, like software wise, and more.

    Wow I’m so glad we’re getting all this cool stuff, it’s about time. But it does make a LITTLE bit of sense tho doesn’t it? New phone being released, with new features, SOME of them have to be released for a still current model right? Isn’t that what everyone does…???
