With Bluetooth, you push a button on the earpiece and speak a voice command
to dial and voice command the name of the person in your phonebook. If they
have more than one entry, it will ask you which no. You do not have to open
our phone at all.

Yes it is.. I have both a BT headset and a wired headset with a send end
button... During the winter, when I am snowmobiling and have thick gloves
on, it's much easier to hit the send/end button on the wired headset, than
try to find that button on the BT headset in my usually numb ear (or hidden
under my stocking hat)....

Yes, it is. Bluetooth is an option with the E815.

If you do have BT enabled (i.e. you're getting the audio through the
earpiece), you can open the phone, dial or locate the number (you'll
hear the keytones in the earpiece), hit Send, and close the phone, and
it will not hang up. You have to use either the End key or the button
on the earpiece. Works very nicely.

Depends... I use both BT AND a corded earpeice with the send/end button on
the cord, and with that, it will work just fine with the flip closed.. The
ones that do not have the buttons on the cord itself don't work that way..

I think it might, but I've only used it that way once and I don't
remember if I closed it during the call or not.
