Question
DebiN,
I had a question for you a few years ago and I am back with another one.

Do you know of any phone that will allow more than one bluetooth device to be connected at the same time?
I have bought one of these Zomm bluetooth phone tether/locators and whenever I get in my car I must disconnect it to allow my car system to connect.
Phone: HTC Tilt PDA - 3G phone w/Bluetooth,GPS,Windows Mobile, Internet Explorer.
Carrier: ATT
Auto: Chrysler U-Connect hand free system

Answer
There aren't any phones that can be connected to two different bluetooth devices at the same time. Personally, I think it's better not to have your bluetooth device connected all the time anyway. It severly drains the battery. What I do is when my phone rings, then I turn on my bluetooth to answer, versus having it on all the time. With the Zomm, I might suggest you just disconnect it when you aren't using it. Sorry that I didn't have better news for you and thanks for coming back!
