So, I have pretty much decided I will never purchase another Apple product again. They are a blatantly dishonest company and I refuse to support them, since they refused to support me.
iPod is $249 device like an inexpensive DVD player or cheap camera. There is no reason for Apple to make it upgradeable.

Lemme see... Does you DVD player manufacturer regularly updates you player software making sure you are getting the best picture? Perhaps your cell phone company is eager to update software in your smartphone? When was the last time you upgraded software in your compact digital camera (DSLR does not count)?

Are they allowed to do this? Sure. But I have called them out on it, and so have many other iPod owners with an understanding of these technical features. So it is my choice not to support Apple any longer, and to tell my story to everyone I wish.

Now if you're talking about full phone book transfer and what not, then yes, there aren't many.
Out of the 25 odd phones I tested, all would pair but 2 or 3 did not work at all after pairing.
So even pairing does not mean you will be able to place a phone call - even without phone book transfer.

That would be fully compatible.

Well, and there is varying richness with regard to functionality between compatible devices. For instance, my Q always paired and transferred phone book entries - from the first day of ownership. Even though it could be regarded as "compatible" with the PBA profile, it wasn't until a firmware update to the phone last summer that it was able to "tag" the numbers meaningfully.
With original firmware I had this on the iDrive screen (fictional name/numbers):
Billy Bob 1234567890
Billy Bob 2345678900
Billy Bob 3456789000
After firmware upgrade I had this:
Billy Bob 1234567890 (W)
Billy Bob 2345678900 (M)
Billy Bob 3456789000 (H)

For those afraid that Apple will leave them hanging without support or software updates for the iPhone...

It's not compatible with Microsoft Outlook, by design. Motorola, on the other hand, took pains to make synchronization work with BMW.
Anyway, many of they sync options with Outlook work today with iTunes (iCal, et al.), why wouldn't it work with iPhone? They both just need to support the RFC for iCalendar. Either way, at this point we can only guess and we'll have to wait two months to know. Even then there could be added functionality that will be added down the road as well.
