Nextel Is Currently Debating On Bluetooth In Its Handsets Because Of Security Issues. The Government Sector (a Large Part Of Nextel's Clientel) Do Not Want Bluetooth Technology In The Handsets Due To Security Issues With Bluetooth (in Terms Of It Being Unsecure And Easily Hackable), As We Have Seen With Tmobile.

Currently You Have Bluetooth In The 7520 But Is Only Usable With The Phones Audio On Phone Calls, Not For Data Transfer, Etc. It Is Also A Pain In The *ss To Connect Certain Headsets After Pairing.

We'll See What They Do.
