Multiple Bluetooth device problem |

I've been playing with Bluetooth between my K700i, PalmOne Tungsten5 handheld, and Akono HBH-600 Bluetooth headset, and have run into a seemingly ridiculous limitation:
The Palm works wonderfully with the Bluetooth on the phone - I can pick any contact and make the phone dial them with just one tap. I can read and write SMS messages on the Palm (much easier than 9-key entry) and send them via the phone. I can send phonebook contacts and pictures from the Palm to the phone and vice versa.
But as soon as I turn on the Bluetooth headset, all of the above functionality quits working. Apparently having the headset active with the phone makes the K700i consider its Bluetooth "busy" and thus it refuses any connections from the Palm. Is this normal??? I've always thought that one could carry multiple Bluetooth devices on their person and use them together.
Here's the vision I'm trying to achieve:
While working with the Palm in my hand, the headset on my ear, and the phone in my pocket or bag, I'd like to grab a contact from the Palm and dial them and talk to them on my headset. But I can't because as soon as the headset is turned on, the K700i refuses to answer my Palm's requests to dial.
Is this a limitation of just this phone? Of all Sony Ericsson phones? Or am I expecting too much from Bluetooth? Does anyone know of a phone which allows for the above? Nokia perhaps?

With K700i and S700i they will always bluetooth connected once the phone discovered the bluetooth handsfree. the bluetooth connection within the phone and handsfree will stay connected until either one of the equipment bluetooth is off. or u can manually disconnect the always on pairing manually each time it got connected.
but this is a feature which already set inside K700i and S700i whereby we can't do anything about that unless new firmware release and disable it.
however, t610 or Z600 will not have this always on bluetooth connection problem. but still u will not be able to have connection to ya either device.
not sure about nokia.... but i know 1 of the motorola bluetooth handsfree can do multi pairing to more than 1 phone. but the result turned wasn't that good.
good luck on searching dude....
