All or any of the above.

Being able to use a bt headset with the 770 would be a 
tremendous plus. Voip, mp3 , forwarding vm's from asterisk, 
...  Lot's of potential apps.

As I said in another post, the lack of headset support 
caused us to skip the 770 as a tablet for our company ( 
against my recommendation ).

You obviously have lots of tasks for your resources. What we 
( or at least, I ) are asking is that you consider devoting 
some resources to bt headsets. If nothing else, some 
statement about what you might consider, if anything at all.
