I suppose we won't convert anyone (least of all phone marketers), but in the interest of better mutual understanding, here's how it looks to us practical types:
Bluetooth = more money
Bluetooth = less privacy
Bluetooth = less fidelity
Bluetooth = more battery usage
Bluetooth = more batteries needed
Bluetooth = more bulk
Bluetooth = more to break or go bad
Bluetooth = more to go wrong (see other replies)
Bluetooth = more money to replace
Bluetooth = more "stuff" to store (like you, I have already have a small drawerful of headsets, headphones, etc.)
Bluetooth = yet another proprieta...
(continues)
bluetooth=cheaper, as headsets are universal
bluetooth=not having to pay for ringtones when you can use obex and transfer songs via bluetooth.
bluetooth=free to send pictures
bluetooth=cheaper usb dongle for the cpu.
Yes, in many situations, BT is a convenience and adds capability if you're into some of those things. You're welcome to your preference.
But it also has its downside. Point is, why ONLY Bluetooth?
PS: For that matter, I also have a box full of standard USB cables that work pretty well, including a long but very, very tiny one.
If not, how far can the signal be picked up?
(Remember this problem with analog phones?)
Between this and RFID credit cards, seems like a whole new world open to wise guys.
