Default Disabling specific bluetooth profiles?

Coming over from a Blackberry, one really nice feature of the BB OS is the ability to disable/enable specific bluetooth profiles (like hands-free, A2DP, A/V Control, etc). Since bluetooth has SOOO many different profiles nowadays, its nice to be able to disable some of them on the phone itself that you dont want it using with specific devices. Seems kinda foolish & generic to have a "Bluetooth On/Off" all or nothing switch when there are so many different uses. Its not like WiFi.

For instance, I use my BB with a Motorola bluetooth car kit to play music through stereo bluetooth to my car's speaker system, but DO NOT want to use the handsfree feature that the Moto adapter is also capable of (personal preference of mine). So I can disable that profile on the phone itself so my Moto adapter doesnt try to connect me through it & route all my calls to the adapter instead of the phone itself. There are many other uses as well, but thats just an example. It has a lot of corporate uses as well.

I wonder if webOS has anything like that?

Out of the box, Pre has no such options (apparently), let alone the ability to do anything but to connect to headsets. If it does, I cannot find them.

I have the same issue. I want to use the built in bluetooth phone profile in my car but the motorola audio profile for music. It is normal to be able to select which profile you want to connect to which device.

Is it silly to think that disabling the other profiles might make A2DP sound quality better because of more bandwidth?

Count me in for wanting a feature like this... I only use A2DP.
