And the award for most creative cashing-in on the whole pseudo-trend of Bluesnarfing goes to E2X, a company which just pitched us their line of bags that come with a special lining that blocks radio signals, thus preventing any would-be Bluesnarfers from hijacking your Bluetooth-enabled cellphone or PDA. Or you could just figure out how to disable the “discoverable” mode on your device; you probably should anyway.

although this bluesnarfing is blown well out of proportion IMHO
The only person I know who has the capability to bluesnarf is the guy who discovered the security flaw.
Has anyone actually heard of anyone else who has this capabaility or has anyone actually heard of anyone who has been snarfed (and found out about it of course!)

Are SE and other mobile phone manufacturers working on a resolution on this potential "bluesnarfing" problem?
Are there any firmware releases for SE T610 that solves the problem?
