Probably no, as there is really quite little reason for it.

I suppose it was more useful on the older tablets as they were often used in connection with a phone, whereas Fremantle devices are more self-contained so they're unlikely to be used with another device.

Give us a device with endless possibilities, but exclude something simple like BT file sending. Seems kinda weird to me
I hope it'll be included when my contract ends and I can buy it

Unfortunately, I just had to do that too. A pain. But a minor one. The worst part is how confusing this is to new users, but that's already known (and being addressed, I assume).

Are you kidding ?!?! Blue tooth file exchange useless?!?! I use that feature all the time. I move files back and forth from my laptop almost everyday while I am on the road. No use, nice sweeping statement . . You must be on the team that said MMS was dumb, a search function in mail is a waste of time, the ovi store is great, and nobody wants portrait mode. There is a saying that I think applies here. Common sense aint so common. I have been nothing but impressed by this community , there seems to be real passion. But the more I follow the talk, the more I am coming to believe Nokia has dropped the ball, And Nokia and the community not wanting to implement standard and common features on the N900 is a complete lack of foresight. Don't give people what they want. We will give them what we want. If Nokia and the developers continue down this path I will have to start a new thread called "Designing a Dinosaur, the N900"

They stole this great idea from Apple..I guess

The difference: On the N900 There's An App For That.

... and if you would have read page 3 you would know that it get implemented soon anyway ...

@konttori: Sorry for saying this, but you must have fantastically little imagination. Of course there is reason for it. I'm trying to figure out how you are thinking. Could it be that because the N900 is also a phone, so that now you don't need to BT around in the filesystem of your phone? Is that it? I'm trying to think of how many people I know with only one phone. I can only think about unemployed students, and retired people, and a few more (I know my boss has only got a single, work-paid phone, for example). But almost everyone else have TWO phones: Work, and private.

And that's just one thing. There are lots more. The N900 is touted as a mobile computer, which means: Don't cripple it. Don't think out your own, limited use cases. That's the point with calling something a computer: You don't think up the use cases in advance, it's a generic computing device and the user is the one to think up the use cases, not the vendor.

You can probably come up with your own Bluetooth browsing app using GVFS and/or ObexFTP, although I don't know if Fremantle's GVFS is compiled with ObexFTP support.

Oh, and if you manage to get FUSE running, you can use ObexFS and mount all your Bluetooth devices inside your ~/MyDocs/ and browse it with the file manager And with all other apps, which might be even more useful than just with the browser.

I'm sure it will not be a problem for some of us to implement what's needed for our own situation. It's more about what's available for other users out of the box. If it's missing, of course someone could pack up their own fix and provide it, that's one of the strong points about the openness in the Maemo concept. It's just that it's bad when existing features are removed simply because someone at the vendor's thinks 'this is not needed'. That's what we're rebelling against!
