Yes, of course you still need the Bluetooth plugin. Why's it surprising on a bugfix release that major new functionality isn't introduced?
TBH, I don't see why Nokia need to bundle BT keyboard support anyway, as has been said on the other threads, it's an open system. Install what you want. Let Nokia use their resources to concentrate on other things.
Of course, once Nokia start officially supporting Bluetooth GPSes, we'll see official Bluetooth support. Which is IT 2007, it seems.
Cheers,
Andrew

Although there are a number of irritating outstanding bugs in the latest firmware, I don't think it's any worse than the previous. Yes, that is damning with feint praise.
Cheers,

Because, you know, Microsoft are a really big company raking in squillions per year and have this reputation for bug-free software (ok, maybe I just made that last bit up).And let me slap you all awake with this factual reminder: Nokia is a planetary behemoth raking in billions per year. This ain’t no Ma & Pa outfit. Save your sympathy and your mercy for the worthy. Nokia deserves neither, especially a year later!
The new OS isn't perfect, I and others have found bugs too. The way Nokia are managing the IT OS development process, it's not perfect either.
Rather than waste time on your bog, why not open bugzilla tickets and at least try to help fix some of the bugs? Your bog is not helping.

I just thought they'd actually fixed BT headsets for calling:

>Internet calling audio quality and browser functionality, among other

But, alas.

There are hints of an IT 2007: a reference in Bugzilla to an embedded Bluetooth control panel applet in IT 2007; the reference to a post-"IT 2006 OS" on the Nokia Bluetooth page etc.
But there's no confirmation of anything like that from Nokia :-(

Well, if we have new hardware being readied for market (as in that other FCC thread), that would entail another lease for Maemo at least through 2007, wouldn't it ?

I PM'd you the other day. I have since been in touch with Tommi Komulainen at Nokia and a plan is in place. He was going to chase someone at Nokia to get it out there. And I noticed that he has listed it again on the week's developer issues, so it looks like your roadmap Q will be answered at some point.
Cheers

What about keyboards? Do we still need the bt-plugin?
