Have to agree here I recently purchased VC1.6 and overall I am very happy
8/10.

I have a Blueant bluetooth in my car and because I am prior to a specific
build I don't get any function through the bluetooth until I have made a
phone call. Bit of a bugger really.

Otherwise lets hope for an update soon.

BTW I am running an i-Mate Jasjam
