Bluetooth may still play a role as a handsfree protocol, but I feel it's days are numbered especially if the SIG allows things like the V710 to happen.
Bluetooth doesn't do anything to ensure compatibility. Whereas, USB does a compatibility test before allowing any manufacturer to use their USB name and logo on their product.
Read the Bluetooth SIG Mobile Phone Implementation Guide too. It describes the various Bluetooth profiles as "suggestions" or "recommendations", but not mandatory requirements. That's where the compatability problems come in. Too much is optional.

consumers like you and i are only left to wonder what could have been
