... advertised Bluetooth integration???
I remember seeing the videos on the Saab UK site showing hands-free cellphone use. I don't remember them ever saying Bluetooth.
The SIM-chip solution would have some definite advantages over Bluetooth, for example, not needing to have your cellphone on you to make a call, etc. If you think about it, not that much different than OnStar, just without the fees.
The other brands are simply responding to the marketplace by paying a licensing fee for the technology, and charging the customer accordingly. None of those Bluetooth systems are "free", they are just included in the price of the cars.
GM responds to the same demands by trying to force its own monopoly down the customer's throat and making them pay monthly fees for extra services they don't want to get some that they do.
And we wonder why GM is slowly going down the tubes?
It's sad, really.
