The bluetooth works on 2.4 GHz frequency that send and recieve through it .

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.

Hey, I found this amazing website that will teach you everything about Bluetooth Technology. It's called http://www.bluetomorrow.com/ because I am sure you will have more questions once your first is answered. Believe it or not Bluetooth is 1000 times safer than a Verizon or Sprint digital cell phone. Fortunately, the transmitting power is far too weak to result in perceptible effects in humans. Moreover, the radiation is not concentrated in a single beam; rather, it is randomly dispersed in all directions. The penetration depth of a device working in the 2.4Ghz frequency range is about 1.5cm - nothing more than a superficial absorption.

The name "Bluetooth" is taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Blatand - or Harold Bluetooth in English. During the formative stage of the Trade Association a code name was needed to name the effort. Over an evening discussing European history and the future of wireless technology several felt it was appropriate to name the technology after King Blatand. He had been instrumental in uniting warring factions in parts of what is now Norway, Sweden and Denmark - just as the technology is designed to allow collaboration between differing industries such as the computing, mobile phone and automotive markets. The code name stuck. \n\nFrom www.bluetooth.org - full information on link below

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

Aparatly there is. Here are two links. See if it works for you..\n\nhttp://www.btdesigner.com/endproducts/endprod.php?catID=1\n\nhttp://bluetoothphonehome.com/\n\n.:Fishie:.

PAN's\n\nPersonal Area Networks\n\nYou will wear or carry your device to access your files and email on the web.  Similar in concept to Blackberry but different in implementation.  I think Bluetooth will become the medium and Bluetooth nodes will just be everywhere.  You won't even think twice about looking up directions, email, placing calls, surfing, etc..

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology are robustness, low power, and low cost. The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other.

Origin of the name and the logo\nThe system is named after a Danish king Harald Blåtand (Harold I of Denmark in English), King of Denmark and Norway from 935 and 936 respectively, to 940 known for his unification of previously warring tribes from Denmark (including Skåne, present-day Sweden, where the Bluetooth technology was invented) and Norway. Bluetooth likewise was intended to unify different technologies like computers and mobile phones. The Bluetooth logo merges the Nordic runes analogous to the modern Latin H and B: ᚼ and ᛒ. This is the official story; however, the actual Harald Blåtand that was referred to in naming Bluetooth was most probably the liberal interpretation given to him in The Long Ships by Frans Gunnar Bengtsson, a Swedish best-selling Viking-inspired novel.\n\nThis logo is similar to an older logo for Beauknit Textiles, a division of Beauknit Corporation. That logo, using the obvious connection of a reversed K and B for Beauknit, is wider and has rounded corners, but is otherwise the same.\n\nThe name was originally only a code-name for the project, but ended up sticking

"Bluetooth technology is how mobile phones, computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs), not to mention a broad selection of other devices, can be easily interconnected using a short-range wireless connection. Using this technology, users can have all mobile and fixed computer devices be totally coordinated."

you could use bluetooth, infared or if you have a cable.

I thought Motorola cell phones was the one that had bluetooth not a computer.

As far as I know mobile phones are coded telling itself and other bluetooth devices that it is a phone. I don't think there is a way, altho it's a good idea

Bluetooth is a telecommunications industry specification that describes how mobile phones, computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) can be easily interconnected using a short-range wireless connection. Using this technology, users of cellular phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants can buy a three-in-one phone that can double as a portable phone at home or in the office, get quickly synchronized with information in a desktop or notebook computer, initiate the sending or receiving of a fax, initiate a print-out, and, in general, have all mobile and fixed computer devices be totally coordinated. \nBluetooth requires that a low-cost transceiver chip be included in each device. The tranceiver transmits and receives in a previously unused frequency band of 2.45 GHz that is available globally (with some variation of bandwidth in different countries). In addition to data, up to three voice channels are available. Each device has a unique 48-bit address from the IEEE 802 standard. Connections can be point-to-point or multipoint. The maximum range is 10 meters. Data can be exchanged at a rate of 1 megabit per second (up to 2 Mbps in the second generation of the technology). A frequency hop scheme allows devices to communicate even in areas with a great deal of electromagnetic interference. Built-in encryption and verification is provided. \n\nThe technology got its unusual name in honor of Harald Bluetooth, king of Denmark in the mid-tenth century.\nOpen your control panel and find the "System" icon.Afterwards, find the "Device Manager" under "Hardware." After that, simply search for the infrared device. It will be easy to find from there if you have one. (Most especially if you are running Windows XP, but this will work with any os.)

It may be true if you're on the Verizon network, but no, it's not correct.\n\nMany bluetooth devices can provide an internet connection to a bluetooth enabled laptop. In fact I know T-mobile carries one that is not made by Blackberry.
