Nope, you're not the only one. When I bought my Pre, I was expecting it to have bluetooth transfer capabilities. Surprisingly, I later found out that this is not a given, and not just on the Pre but in many modern US handsets. I'm an international student from Europe, and part of my routine was transferring photos and music between my laptop and my Sony Ericsson Z800. And that's a 2005 model! Now all we're left with on the Pre is USB transfer. That's quite unintuitive, let alone embarassingly passé for a 2009 smart touch phone if you ask me.
I wish I had the programming knowledge to create a patch, but even if I did, we will still have to wait for Palm to open up their bluetooth profile APIs. I read somewhere that this is also why homebrew developers cannot yet develop WebOS-friendly bluetooth connectivity software for BT watches such as Sony Ericsson's BMW-150 and LG's Prada.
