$115,000 for a Porsche Cayenne and it doesn't have Bluetooth

Daniel Gibbons over at design and culture blog Orange Life is loving his Porsche Cayenne. He’s testing it at the moment and, shortly, he’ll be flying from good ol’ Vancouver to Heathrow where he will be met by the Porsche UK Team and handed a beast similar to this one:

He’s driving it around Scotland for an upcoming Orange Life feature. Good man! Visit Edinburgh!

The astonishing thing he told me just now is that the Porsche in-car phone system doesn’t do Bluetooth! Instead, if you’ve got the default in-car phone system, you have to put in your sim card to use it.

Fine, if you’re doing a 12 hour journey. But not if you’re getting in and out of your car every day. Who can be bothered taking out their sim card every time they get in their car?

It’s also a rather useless solution if, like me, you store your contacts on your phone memory and not your sim.

How do you manage your in-car phone calling? What’s the best system in your experience — and how much do you have to pay for a car to get it as standard?
