Many years ago I was at a small group meeting with Terry Myerson who ran the Windows phone org and had just assumed responsibility of the entire Windows org. I had a Nokia 1520 (the giant phone) and he asked me what I thought of it. I said I loved it, and then complained about how it kept on dropping bluetooth with my car's head unit, a new Subaru STi.
The next day there was an engineer sitting in the back of my car with a bunch of test devices capturing traces of the BT comms with the head unit. Apparently Subaru didn't sell enough units to warrant its own certification process for BT so this was the first time engineers had looked at it. IIRC it did get better a few updates later; it was maddeningly unusable out of the box.
