Hey guys, Idealy i would love my phone to be BT capable w/o a camera. There have been too many times that I have not been able to take my phone into some place, Im almost positive there is no way at the moment, But on a slow day at the store I figured I'd ask the Cellularly Faithful here on PhoneScoop,

You could always just get a bluetooth adapter.
...
yeah but they all work like ****, i've carried a couple.
...
The Samsung i730 has Bluetooth but no camera same as the Blackberry 7130e
...
Just out of curiosity, where do you go that they won't let you in with a camera phone?
...
Nuclear Power Plants, you can not take a cell phone with a camera inside 😎
...
there are also a lot of car plants that will not allow you to take any kind of camera or camera phone in as well..that way no one can sell pictures of their development
...
military bases, government offices, credit card call centers and many other call centers. a lot of places. also many professionals such as real estate, insurance, contractors don't want a camera because their clients tend to not like them having a camera phone with them for certain business dealings.
...
Nokia the leading manfuacturer of Cell phs. WILL NOT allow a camera ph. in their plants
...
treo 650 w/out camera. or a blackberry 7130e. really no phones though.
...
Over 50% off my customers are military that can not have a camera phone at work. So the solution that we have for them may work for you. Many of them want a nice multi function phone such a yourself. So what they do is get a non-camera phone such as the LG4650 or similar. The also have a BT, V-cast, camera phone that they use when they are not at work. They simply use call forwarding when they are at work to forward the calls from the camera phone to the non-camera phone. It only costs $10 more a month.
The cell phone makers are not going to spend the time to put BT in a non-camera phone. It is not worth it for them. And you won't find a Treo 650 without a camera new in a retail store. You would have to but it on E-Bay.
...
That solution would cost 2x the minutes for any forwarded call.
...
No it wouldn't. It would be an "IN" call so it would only use the minutes of the forwarded phone.
...
isn't there a new Audiovox or a PanTech phone out that's BT, EVDO, but not a camera phone? we were talking about this the other day and I know there's a bt phone out there w/o a camera that isn't a PDA
