My T27G does not detect BT40 or WF40

So I tried with a T29G and it worked at once.

So my question become:
Is it planned to add T27G among devices supported by WF40 ?
If not what is current T27G USB port for ?

This has come up a few times in other threads on the forum already (search for T27G. The Yealink datasheet states:
“USB port (2.0 compliant)
Bluetooth earphone through BT40 (pending),
Wi-Fi through WF40 (pending),”

So basically T27G is waiting for firmware support and most likely in house testing before release. This is exactly the same as they did with the WF40 and the T29G. WF40 was released for T4X phones, T29 had "pending" on it, and finally about a year later the T29 gained support. Keep in mind the T2x series is value oriented so Yealink is in no rush to implement features there as they would rather put dev. time into higher end phones. (since there is already full support in the T29G I would just go that route).

Thanks for this very informative reply.

So, I'll have to check regularly new T27G firmware release notes and favor latest T42S in the meantime, as this one already supports WF40 and BT40.
