    Some Smarts to have standard Bluetooth

    Car manufacturer Smart has teamed up with
    mobile-phone firm Orange to produce a car that
    lets drivers take calls at the wheel via Bluetooth

    Mobile-phone provider Orange and car manufacturer
    Smart have joined forces to produce a car for the
    safety-conscious techie driver -- the Orange smart
    city-coupé, which is the UK's first car to come
    equipped with Bluetooth technology as standard.

    The key features already exist:

    Hands-free/auto answering is set on the phone (may not desirable?
    Especially with other people in the car?). With the Merc integrated car kit
    one can also answer by hitting a button on the steering wheel.

    Calling by speaking is set on the phone, at least on some models.

    I am sure Bluetooth will make things easier and, perhaps, reduce one's
    dependence on expensive manufacturer's kits that tie one to particular phone
    models, but will one get displays of the SIM card memory on the dashboard?

    The impression that I got from the article
    was that the Smart would come with all the
    associated buttons and features but would
    allow the cellphone itself to be any model
    that supported bluetooth thus allowing
    easy upgrades to newer cellphone models as they
    became available.

    I could be completely wrong. I should have
    crossposted the original post to cellular and
    bluetooth newsgroups.
