As of yet, AT&T hasn't disabled bluetooth like you mention. I bought a phone from Cingular/AT&T only a couple months ago. (I chose them because I wanted a GSM phone so I could play with the Neo when it's available). I'm able to transfer music, pics, and other files from my computer to the phone without issue. My brother has a chocolate phone from Verizon, and can't move files from his computer to the phone via usb nor bluetooth. I think what you're saying may be true for Verizon and Sprint.

<br>hell, they have partnered up with AT&T. and isnt mobile operators in the<br>US notorious for locking down what phones can or cant do? i recall<br>reading about bluetooth file transfer being removed and similar so that
<br>one had to use their network to transfer data to and from the phone and<br>similar.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>
