My vote is that this is a bug and must be fixed.
Both issues already discussed are critical. If I am using a keyboard and / or a BT network connection, they need to happen automatically between power and standby cycles.

I have not had the issue with my phone (Nokia N73) but bluetooth does not pop on for my Keyboard (Stowaway Universal BT) which is annoying, but I have not used it much compared to my phone for connectivity. It would be nice for it to be on - once you set it that way and for the status icon to simply stay active.

Texrat, which OS 2007 version are you running?
With v2.2006.51-6, selecting my Verizon Wireless (RAZR V3m) connection definitely turns Bluetooth on without any extra steps - which is as it should be, but not what you report. There must be some other factor that explains the difference.
It does, however, always revert to OFF at boot. I agree that for convenience, the boot time setting should be configurable as Always Off, Always On, or Last State.

And I'm running 51-6 on my own devices but testing 51-7 on another. My devices with 51-6 do not automatically turn on Bluetooth when I use GPRS.

Actually, the 770 also turns on BT when you connect to a network through your phone.

Today I took my N800 on the road since I had to run the wife on errands and needed to keep tabs on an ebay auction. I wound up having to reconnect several times and a few of those I needed to turn Bluetooth back on. One would think that since the phone connection requires Bluetooth that the OS would go, "aha! he's asking to reconnect to his Bluetooth phone. I'll make that convenient and activate the Bluetooth." Nope. Gotta do it manually every single time.
That's just nuts.
