Superfast Bluetooth on Nokia 7380

Recently during some horsing around in the office, we were taking some completely un-professional pictures around the office, not the first time (So I shall expect another complete over reaction from my line manager any day now).

Anyway, pictures were taken on a darling little Nokia 7380. This "innovative fashion statement" is, INHO, a complete waste of time. Dialing on it is impossible, everyone needs to be in your address book. Even entering a Bluetooth passcode was a chore like no other.



As you can see no keyboard or other normal telephone amenities none the less, when transferring the files from the device to my mac via bluetooth I was blown away by the transfer speed.

I've done some low level work in the past with bluetooth and use it all the time, I never quite achieve this kind of data rate though...



Which I didn't think was too shabby AT ALL. Most of the time from my SEK800i I get about 40-50 dependent on distance.



With such speeds it is interesting to note that last week, Nokia got some beef with the BT standards people with this I suppose power gains are worth while, I'd like a headset or GPS to not need charging every hour or so just cause it's paired with my phone.
