The geeky iPhone owners who recently updated their iPhone with the 1.1.1 firmware

The geeky iPhone owners who recently updated their iPhone with the 1.1.1 firmware were faced to several issue's. Especially the owners of unlocked iPhones and/or those who had added 3th party applications on it. Those lost most of the by Apple non-supported functionality, they added last weeks. An overview table is published here on wired compares the unlocked 1.0.2 version to 1.1.1 Apple's latest official update.

The good news is for the other, the biggest, group who just upgraded the virgin-unspoiled original iPhone. There is an bug found that let 1.1.1. users stream their music straight to the bluetooth headset!
Q. How can you make that working?
A. Just follow these steps.
1. Initiate a connection between your Bluetooth headset and the iPhone. Wait till the iPhone recognizes a connection from your paired headset.
2. Enter the Visual Voicemail interface under the phone application and select the "Audio" button from the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
(this button will instead say "Speaker", the Bluetooth headset is not properly paired to the iPhone or your Bluetooth headset has not initiated a connection with the iPhone.)

3. You should now have the option to "Change audio source" to either "iPhone Bluetooth Headset," "iPhone," or "Speaker Phone." Choose the first one. You just did the trick!
You should now be able to navigate to your iPhone's iPod application and begin streaming music to your headset.
