Nope, it's not in NM 0.7.1; there's still work to be done to refactor
code internally to support it.  BT likely won't happen on the 0.7.x
branch because a large part of the effort was to punt mobile broadband
handling out to ModemManager, which is only on trunk.  That might change
as ModemManager becomes more mature, but we should probably try to keep
the 0.7.x branch free of destabilizing changes like that.  So it's
something being worked on, and it's definitely planned.  Just not here
yet.
