Ericsson first amounced Bluetooth in 1994 and released the first Bluetooth enabled phone and headset in 2000. Quite a gap though between invention and release. First Bluetooth phone was the Ericsson R520 which i loved way back in the day look it up on the net old Ericsson mobiles.

Hi all,
It actually suffered from many delays before it came to market the original Bluetooth headset was first publicly shown at the Mobile Data Show @ Earls Court in the winter of 97 if remember correctly and then still faced many delays prior to launch.
At this Show i had a demo area within the Mobile Data Association's stand as was a full member and this was one of the benefits of being a full member.
I was of course at that time only using Ericsson equipment and had great support from them. I was mainly demonstrating the GC-25 data card running on a Toshiba Libretto running Windows NT besides other devices and solutions but that was the newest tech then.
This was one of the fist ever Data PCMCIA Data cards and i had been involved in final testing of the product and was responsible for the addition of an ariel on a lead. As whilst final testing discovered on some Laptops when the ariel was fixed on the card it caused really annoying feedback noise.
This period of time was really the beginning of Mobile Data and it's quite amazing to see just how far it has progressed in the last 10 years. At the rate it is developing now i can't wait for the next 4-5 years and all the advancements that will bring with it.
Although if i am honest i don't believe Bluetooth has advanced as a much as it might have as an open standard even today their is still incompatibility problems. Also A2DP IMO really needs better bandwidth to fully deliver as good a sound as a wired solution does.

This thread brings tears to my eyes. I really really miss good old Ericsson technology :C. Oh, how cruel that fire in the Philips factory was.
