IT LOOKS LIKE IT!


Well I think we're all in for a treat regarding bluetooth, as the N900 (Does have the ability) for a bluetooth 3.0 upgrade!!!
Heres what I've discovered:-

The Bluetooth chip inside the N900 is a BCM2048, manufactured by broadcom. Now on the broadcom website it states.

The Broadcom BCM2048 is a monolithic 0.13 μm single-chip Bluetooth 2.0+EDR compliant stand-alone baseband processor with an integrated 2.4-GHz transceiver, integrated FM and RDS/RBDS receiver, and an integrated FM baseband processor. It features the highest level of integration and eliminates all critical external components, thus minimizing the footprint and system cost of implementing a Bluetooth and FM solution. The BCM2048 has been designed to support key features of next-generation Bluetooth technologies.

The BCM2048 is the optimal solution for any voice and/or data application that requires the Bluetooth SIG standard Host Controller Interface (HCI) via a high-speed UART and PCM. The BCM2048 incorporates all Bluetooth 2.0+EDR features including eSCO, AFH, fast connect, all EDR packet types and lengths, and all errata.
The BCM2048 also includes InConcert® and other industry collaborative coexistence solutions with WLAN systems.

Now the highlighted parts do sound good, for a 3.0 upgrade, but it gets better...
Inquisitive as to what their InConcert solution actually is, I found that its a technology designed to allow Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless devices to co-exist and operate collaboratively in mobile devices such as netbooks, notebooks and smartphones. InConcert technology lets products enabled with Broadcom Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips intelligently share the 2.4 GHz frequency range, coordinating transmissions to optimize throughput and performance as required by a range of applications.

And finally, Broadcom lists the features of this chipset as:-

* Highly-integrated single-die Bluetooth and FM/RDS with low external BOM cost and small footprint area < 35 mm²

* Best-in-class RF sensitivity for both Bluetooth and FM with no loss of performance under concurrent operation

* Flexible control and digital/analog transport interfaces for ease of integration into cell phone and MP3 player designs

* Firmware migration path to new Bluetooth specifications

So there we have it, our beloved N900 has a future-proof BT chipset
