Just double checked to make sure I was right, found a thread about it 
over at Esato:-

access, but 1.0 only supports point to point..... don't know if this 
will be changeable by a software upgrade at some point or if its an 
actual hardware change.... :S

Also while browsing over at Esato, I found out that the new Nokia 7650 
supports BT but does not implement a headset profle, which means you 
can't use it with a BT headset....!!!!

As for connecting BT to a PC, you apparently need to make sure the BT 
adapter you get for the PC supports headset profile.... someone had this
about adapters they had:-

DTL-1 (PCMCIA, Nokia):
-------------------------
Suported features:
Packet types: 3-slots, 5-slots
Radio features: none
Policy: switch, sniff mode,
Encryption: supported
Clock modes: slot offset, timing accuracy
Audio: *not supported*
Power Control: not supported

3Com USB:
------------------
Suported features:
Packet types: 3-slots, 5-slots
Radio features: RSSI, Channel quality driven data rate
Policy: switch, hold mode, sniff mode, park mode
Encryption: supported
Clock modes: slot offset, timing accuracy
Audio: *SCO link, HV2, HV3, u-Law log, a-Law log, CVSD, *
Power Control: supported

This gets way to confusing and incompatible.....!

I think I'm gonna wait another wee while before investing in anything 
BT.... :S

Oh yeah, the XDA thing doesn't have BT at all, so unless you buy an SD 
BT card, you can't use a BT headset with it......!
