Yes, old and unsupported. These have not been manufactured for quite
some time. I had one and thought it very promising but the hardware
quality was not what I had hoped.

I might have hoped that snom would use one of the USB ports on the 820
or 870 models to provide support for a Bluetooth headset.

The Cisco SPA-525G supports Bluetooth, as does the Aastra 6739i. Both
are higher end models.

Myself I rely upon a Counterpath soft phone and use the Plantronics
Savi Go, which comes with a Class 1 Bluetooth USB dongle. It works
great with my desktop and my cell phone.
