Lumia 710 Bluetooth Share on Win 7.8

So, I turn on my phone yesterday and there's an update available. I plug it to the PC, Zune comes up and starts updating the phone. When it's finished, I see it's OMG **bleep** WINDOWS PHONE 7.8.

 

So I immediately come over the interwebz to google what are the new features and everyone's like "oh hey, now you can bluetooth your files over to your friends". I try to connect with my mother's Lumia 710 [same model I've got], no effect.

 

More googling and I find out I need an app called Bluetooth Share to transfer the damned files around. Fine, I look for it at the store, no luck. Then I find a QR code for it here: http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-bluetooth-share-for-windows-phone-7-8-now-in-marketplace/

I open it with bing, it finds the app at the marketplace but it says it's not available for my phone.

 

So, my question is: what the **bleep**? Why can't I use a dead simple feature any $50 phone got even after I get the bloody update that says I CAN bluetooth with other phones?
