SIM access, object push, file transfer, dial-up networking, headset, hands-free, service 
discovery application, generic access, serial port, and generic object exchange. To ensure 
interoperability between other devices supporting Bluetooth technology, use Nokia 
approved enhancements for this model. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to
