Not a surprise actually! When I was considering to buy my XPERIA X8 at Fortress store, I specifically asked the salesman whether there was a remote control for the "hand free" coz. I needed it when I was driving. He said "yes, here is the button". As the shop was about to close, I didn't try it. Now, of course, no such function at all. So all kinds of sales have the same problem, not matter you're buying a phone, or a house!
