According to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth\n"Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs), also known as IEEE 802.15.1. Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras and video game consoles via a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency."\n\nThe Specifications and Features part of the article gives you more of the history of the evolution of the device.  Be sure to check out the additional references in the See Also section of the article.

If it has bluetooth built it you should see the bluetooth logo lit up somewhere on the outside of your laptop.\n\nIf you don't have bluetooth you can get a USB bluetooth dongle for not too much $.  I would look at tigerdirect.com

First you need to get a blue-tooth adapter you can get one that is compatible with your phone.This adapter will come with its software .Just install it as you would for any device given its  driver>pretty neat applications come with them .

The dongle will probably only work 10m, as both partys are communicating with each other during any bluetooth transaction...

Why don't you use regular USB Bluetooth adapter?\n\nIt is cheaper of course

Depends on your computer, and it depends on the software installed.  Typically, you can look in your network connections and disable the "network connection" that corresponds to the your Bluetooth controller card.\n\nFor non techies:\n\n1) Go to Start > Settings > Network Connections\n2) Scroll to the right until you can read the "Device Name" column\n3) Right click on the item with "...bluetooth..." somewhere in it and select "disable"...\n\nIf your item does not support network control... look for an icon in the lower right corner of your screen, next to the time that looks like a blue on white, or white on blue "squiggly."  Right click on it and find the option for "disable" or "power down".

Bluetooth applications\n\n    * Wireless control of and communication between a cell phone and a hands free headset or car kit. This is the most popular use.\n    * Wireless networking between PCs in a confined space and where little bandwidth is required.\n    * Wireless communications with PC input and output devices, the most common being the mouse, keyboard and printer.\n    * Transfer of files between devices via OBEX.\n    * Transfer of contact details, calendar appointments, and reminders between devices via OBEX.\n    * Replacement of traditional wired serial communications in test equipment, GPS receivers and medical equipment.\n    * For remote controls where infrared was traditionally used.\n    * Sending small advertisements from Bluetooth enabled advertising hoardings to other, discoverable, Bluetooth devices.\n    * Wireless control of a games console, Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 will both use Bluetooth technology for their wireless controllers.\n    * Sending commands and software to the LEGO Mindstorms NXT instead of infrared.\nBluetooth is in a variety of new products such as phones, printers, modems, and headsets, to name a few. Bluetooth is acceptable for situations when two or more devices are in close proximity with each other and don't require high bandwidth. Bluetooth is most commonly used with phones and handheld computing devices, either using a Bluetooth headset or transferring files from phones/PDAs to computers. Since Bluetooth uses short-range radio frequencies, it is not as effective for setting up networks that can be accessed from remote locations as with Wi-Fi.\n\nBluetooth also simplified the discovery and setup of services. Wi-Fi is more analogous to the traditional Ethernet network, and requires configuration to set up shared resources, transmit files, set up audio links (e.g. headsets and hands-free devices), whereas Bluetooth devices advertise all services they actually provide; this makes the utility of the service that much more accessible, without the need to worry about network addresses, permissions and all the other considerations that go with typical networks.

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers and digital cameras via a secure, low-cost, globally available short range radio frequency.\nBluetooth is a radio standard primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power class dependent: 10 centimeters, 10 meters, 100 meters) and with a low-cost transceiver microchip in each device.\n\nBluetooth lets these devices talk to each other when they come in range, even if they are not in the same room, as long as they are within up to 100 meters of each other, dependent on the power class of the product. Products are available in one of three power classes:\n\nClass 1 (100 mW) [still readily available]: It has the longest range at up to 100 meters. \nClass 2 (2.5 mW) [most common]: It allows a quoted transmission distance of 10 meters. \nClass 3 (1 mW) [rare]: It allows transmission of 10 cm (3.9 in), with a maximum of 1 meter.

Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers and digital cameras via a secure, low-cost, globally available short range radio frequency.\n\nThe name Bluetooth was born from the 10th century king of Denmark, King Harold Bluetooth (whose surname is sometimes written as Bluetooh), who engaged in diplomacy which led warring parties to negotiate with each other. The inventors of the Bluetooth technology thought this a fitting name for their technology which allowed different devices to talk to each other.

You can buy a JABRA Universal Multi-Adapter\n\nor \n\nJabra A320s - Instant USB Bluetooth for Computer\n http://www.jabra.com/JabraCMS/NA/EN/MainMenu/Products/StereoHeadsets/JabraA320S/JabraA320s\n\nHooked up to my VOIP at home it works very well

You'll need to first install the bluetooth device on your computer.You can do that using the small CD-ROM(i got the small one when i bought it).\nAfter having installed all the drivers for the Bluetooth dongle and then the software for it you get a screen with an ellipse on it.\nIn the Menu you shall see an option to detect or find new devices around.\nTurn on Bluetooth on your phone and then search for devices in the software.Once your phone is detected and shown in the ellipse i talked about you can easily transfer themes and software and ringtones or whatever you want.\nThe bluetooth dongle should be in the USB port all the time.I hope you can make it work.
