Sending Business cards via bluetooth or sms

Hi

Does anybody know if there is an application or is Apple going to have this feature in the future. I have always been a nokia fan but since i have had my iPhone i have changed my mind. There are however a few things that i miss from nokia and one important one for me is sending a business card to another iphone user via bluetooth or SMS.
It is a pain to have to sit and enter all the details. Any help is welcome

There is not an application that I know of that can do this via SMS.

You certainly cannot do it via bluetooth, as iphone supports bluetooth for headsets and handsfree telephone devices/functions only.

Unless Apple announces, there is no way to know what they will or will not do in the future.

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.

At this time the Bluetooth Profile on an iPhone supports hands free profile only. And SMS is limited to text based messages no current MMS feature in place.

While it's not via bluetooth or SMS, there are a few apps in the App Store that allow you to send contacts via email.
