I'm probably just thick, but are you asking 
      * (when) are we going to ship a product (device and/or firmware)
        with bluetooth audio working out of the box?
      * (when) are we going to ship a product (device and/or firmware)
        with the necessary drivers for someone else to implement
        bluetooth headset support?
      * (when) are we going to document how someone else could implement
        some driver?
      * something else?

It would be much more clear and easy to pass around a mail stating
something like "I want to do $this, and the easiest way to do that would
be $x. But I can not do that because the 770 does not support $y and
Nokia being the only one with the sources/documentation/whatnot is the
only one in position to implement it. Another option would be to $z
(rewriting the kernel) but that would be just too much for me. So is
Nokia going to do something about $y?"

Or something like that. I hope you get the idea.
