I just ordered a 2012 F-10 and got this Verizon phone to be ready for it. The Bluetooth Profiles include Message Access Profile, a Bluetooth profile (mode) for relaying messaging info.

A typical use case for the MAP Bluetooth profile involves a phone and a car. When a phone supporting MAP is paired with a car supporting MAP, incoming messages can be displayed on the car's dashboard and/or read aloud by the car's computerized voice.

BLUETOOTH® TECHNOLOGY
Stereo Bluetooth Version 2.1 + EDR (support profiles A2DP, AVRCP, GAP, GAVDP, GOEP, HFP, HID, HSP, MAP, OPP, PAN, PBAP, SPP)



Anybody try one yet?

Voice mail messages Voice mail messages are synchronized to your Inbox.
Calendar data You can view and add appointments to your calendar.
Contacts data You can access your contacts on your mobile phone and place telephone calls to these contacts.
