* Full phone integration over bluetooth. The NIT can fully remote a phone (and act like one), plus some other features like recording, playback? Imagine a scenario in which you have a slim phone (6500 or 5310 - or better) forgotten in a pocket and you can make all the calls/management etc, etc just using the NIT. --[[User:iancumihai|iancumihai]] 24 Oct 2008 10:23 EEST | * Full phone integration over bluetooth.
