There is a section in the manual about Bluetooth. If there is going to be a Bluetooth-enhansed version released anywhere, it is going to be Europe, where Bluetooth reigns supreme. __________________ Editor-in-Chief www.Brighthand.com News, Views, and "Hands-On" Reviews of Mobile Devices of All Types

Neiter Japan or Hong Kong has it so why would Europe have it?

Not sure why Europe would. But then the European NX73 was released with BT, and nowhere else in the world. Maybe Sony marketing has found that BT is popular enough there to justify it.

Mainly because people change their cellphones often in order to upgrade, most people have BT enabled devices. They just insert their sim cards in the new phone and gsm providers have fast gprs connection at no cost.. BTW they don't sell the phones with the subscription and that adds to the freedom of choice..

Not a great time to be an American wanting to buy something from Europe. The Euro is currently at $1.28 (& that's the rate that banks charge each other -- the exchange rate is worse).

At 450 Euros for the TH55 (you do the math), you *reeaaallly* have to want Bluetooth!

Just because we have GSM phones doesnt mean Sony will have BT on it. I seriously doubt it that the Euro versions will have Bluetooth. Hong Kong also uses GSM and they dont have Bluetooth.

I don't see how you made the connection between the TH55 (not) having bluetooth and the fact that Europe uses GSM... __________________ Green Surveys - Get cash for filling out online surveys.
