Still no bluetooth support in MS Smartphone 2003... Have to wait till the next version from MS to start seeing this support even in the hardware.</font>
The vast majority of Nokia's don't have Bluetooth either and they seem to sell a lot of phones.

Bottom line is it's a $10 chip set which is a lot when your total BOM is around $55.

Don't get me wrong, I use a BT-enabled phone (T68i) myself, but the majority of the market doesn't seem to be interested.
