1. A method for managing radio states in a mobile communication device, the method comprising:

  • monitoring a mobility state of the mobile communication device;

    when the mobility state transitions to a mobility state which is at or above a predetermined threshold, enabling a first short range radio on the mobile communication device;

    establishing a connection with a compatible first short range radio-enabled device using the first short range radio;

    when the first short range radio connection is disconnected, disabling the first short range radio after a first predetermined period of time during which both the mobility state is below the predetermined threshold and the first short range radio connection is not reestablished;

    when the mobility state transitions to a mobility state which is at or above another predetermined threshold, enabling a second short range radio after a second predetermined period of time after the first short range radio has been disabled; and

    ,disabling the second short range radio if no second short range radio connection is established during a third predetermined period of time.
