      • As a user who uses a Lumia 900 WP7 for professional applications, where is the HID Bluetooth profile?

        As a user who uses a Lumia 900 WP7 for professional applications, where is the HID Bluetooth profile? It wasn't in the original, it wasn't in Mango, and it wasn't in an update I received a month ago--

        THIS IS NO SMALL ISSUE FOR BUSINESS USERS!!!

        Come on-- My Nokia E71x had it--- FIVE YEARS AGO.

        It shouldn't be a big deal--with existing Office integration, and by adding VPN support it will place WP7 in with the "big boys" in terms of business applications.

        Do we (business users) have to get down on our knees and beg???

        Or do we…

              • Bluetooth Dial-up Networking is interesting feature on Smart Phone.

                Most current mobile devices feature Bluetooth support Dial-up Networking (Bluetooth DUN). And that is an absolutely necessary feature for all of us as cable or wireless connection is not always one of the best solution for Internet access from desktop computers at low cost.
                I hope that Microsoft will soon support Bluetooth DUN feature.
                Thank you for reading my proposal!

                  • bluetooth dial-up networking/bluetooth data connection

                    Give the ability to use a bluetooth connection to access the internet. My car can carry out local searches/weather/traffic/maps using a bluetooth data connection. Except my windows phone massively limits the use of bluetooth. We need DUN for bluetooth!

                    • Windows phone needs bluetooth spp

                      Windows phone must include bluetooth connectivity profiles no just for headsets but also for development for custom modules. For instance the spp is used commonly.

                      • One touch button to turn on and connect bluetooth

                        Windows Phone needs a one touch button for me to press, after which bluetooth connectivity is turned on and the phone attempts to connect to the already configured bluetooth device, like my Pioneer car stereo.
                        In the iPhone, there is no such button, and I have to make many presses just to get bluetooth connected to my car stereo. Very cumbersome!

                                      Make it compatible with all 3 of the most popular credit card readers, Go Pay, Roam Pay and Square Up. The only reason I am considering upgrading to a smart phone is for this feature, and even then I'd rather it be a phone that can sync with my Windows 8 laptop so that my business on the go can really get, well, going!

                                      • NFC Experience Improvements

                                        - Add the ability to mark specific NFC-Tags as trusty sothat the phone does not ask whether to open it.
                                        - Allow more systemchanges like enabling bloototh for a car cradle
                                        - Allow doing multiple actions in a row.

                                        • Include fix for poor Bluetooth A2DP audio quality in the next update ASAP!

                                          This used to be fixable through a few registry edits that increase Bluetooth A2DP bitrate, but the latest updates have killed the possibility to make such edits. We need an official fix for this immediately.
