A short-range radio technology aimed at simplifying communications among Internet devices and between devices and the Internet. It also aims to simplify data synchronization between Internet devices and other computers. \nProducts with Bluetooth technology must be qualified and pass interoperability testing by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group prior to release. Bluetooth's founding members include Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia and Toshiba.

Bluetooth is a technical industry standard that facilitates communication between wireless devices such as mobile phones, PDAs (personal digital assistants) and handheld computers, and wireless enabled laptop or desktop computers and peripherals. A single Bluetooth-enabled wireless device is capable of making phone calls, synchronizing data with desktop computers, sending and receiving faxes, and printing documents. For example, an individual can use a Bluetooth connection to print a document from his PDA. \n\nBluetooth devices use a microchip transceiver that operates on the 2.45GHz frequency and have a range of up to 10 meters (approximately 33 feet).

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect devices like PDAs, Cell Phones, Laptops etc via a secure short range radio frequency (about 30 feet max)\nIf you are trying to connect a cell phone to another device, you must enable the Bluetooth connection.  This can usually be found uner Tools/Settings/Connection and selecting Bluetooth Link.\nIf you are not trying to connect a cell phone, a device either will automatically search for another Bluetooth signal, or you must turn it on from a menu.

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 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 11th 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 \n\nBluetooth is a radio standard primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power class dependent: 1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters) and with a low-cost transceiver microchip in each device.\n\nBluetooth lets these devices communicate with 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.

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

It depends upon the resources you have and what your computer and more imp, the phone supports.\n\nThe options you can go for are:\n1. Bluetooth: A dongle that fits in to the USB port of the computer and the phone has one inbuilt.\n\n2. Data Cable: It is specific to the phone model you use. Fits in the USB or the Serial port of the computer.\n\n3. Infrared port(IR Port): It can be attached to your computer to the USB or the serial port.\n\nThe best of them all is the bluetooth, its cheap , fast and  Wireless.\n\nData cable is reliable but is a bit costly and might be of no use in case you change the phone. Bluetooth can work with any device and its the tech of the future.\n\nIR is very complicated since the two devices communicating should be in LINE OF SIGHT of each other(straight line path) and almost next to each other, like kissin each other. Also the trnsfr is slow. Moreover, its and old and not a comfortable method.

Bluetooth is a close range "connector" for the transfer of information (file sharing) or connections (mouse, headset for phone).  It has a range limit of approx 30ft.\n\na Wireless LAN is intended for connecting computers on a local network via the 802.11 standard (either a,b,g and eventually N.  the letter are modifications based on speed).\n\nWi-Fi is a Large Area Wireless LAN which provides a Wireless Connection.  Similar to a Wireless LAN, Wi-Fi is often associated with Open Access (i.e. a public location that offers Internet Connection to customers).\n\nInfrared or (IRda) is the technology now usually limited to Remote Controls.  Older PDA's and Laptops (and some newer ones for presumably compatibility purposes) used this as a way to provide Wireless before Bluetooth.  This technology is hampered by the fact that IRda requires "Line of Sight" between the two linking devices (for example if you put your and in front of the remote, it will not change the channel on the T.V.)\n\n802.3 is the 10GBase (10 GigaBit Networking) standard, and has nothing to do with wireless.  If you are confusing it will 802.11 see Wireless Lan.

The difference is relative. Bluetooth is very short range stuff whereas Wireless connects to longer distances. Regular wireless is what you want to connect to the net when at home or at Starbucks(basically places which list as WiFi available!!), Bluetooth on the other hand is used to communicate with your personal devices like cell phones, Organizers, Printers which have a similar capability. \nIf you have a bluetooth cell phone then you can download cool stuff on it like new ring-tones, wallpapers etc without paying anyone anything(the formats change from cell phone to cell phone so just google it up and you can get a specific website!!) Try looking for Bluetooth devices on the net.

first you install the cd given to u when buying the bluetooth divice.\nTo recive any files from ur mobile to ur pc is very simple as sending it to ur mobile from ur pc.There is a option in ur cell send via bluetooth ,just select it to send any of the file.\nthen pc asks u  conformation to alow it or not click on yes after completion of ur sending ,off the bluetooth device(remove it) then.\ngo tp my documents/bluetooth/inbox.you will find it there

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.)

Bluetooth is a technology which allows two devices to communicate to each other without the use of wires. \n\nSince it works on radio frequency (RF), the two devices need not be in "Line of Sight" of each other, unlike "Infrared" devices (your TV remote for example), which, in most cases, need to be pointed towards the device to make it work.\n\nThe range of typical Bluetooth devices is about 8-10 meters but varies if there are interfering factors (e.g. your microwave).\n\nBluetooth is widely in use in mobile phones which provide wireless connnectivity to laptops, wireless headsets, even to other mobile phones.\n\nIf you want to know more, visit https://www.bluetooth.org/.
