We dont know if this has been covered before but we were at a local doggin site today, genuine reason for being there early evening, we sat there wondering if people used thier bluetooths to make contact once there...
Not being a doggers, we'd not know, but interested to know, any comments?

Bluetooth ...
I am not a phone freak i dont think !!!
Just happen to have spoken to someone re bluetooth before.
Be careful, this i think was called toothing however as the quality if phones has increased so has the abilty for certain phones to steal information off another one when connected via bluetooth.
You need to have a phone visable to others when bluetoothing and also with no pin code activated so you can "chat" to strangers (how else would you know their pin code otherwise). If your phone also has no pin code and two phones are connected then with a good phone the other pearson can steal data off your phone, this can be pictures, notes and other information, i dont think they can get phone numbers, but i would either be very very careful or get a phone that you only use for meets etc with only info you dont mind being stolen.
Hope this helps.

We reckon its an internet myth.

with certain phones connecting to some older phones you can even make a call on the other phone using bluetooth :!: but the older phones that can be used in this way are few n far between now
Bluesnarfing is the unauthorized access of information from a wireless device through a Bluetooth connection, often between phones, desktops, laptops, and PDAs. This allows access to a calendar, contact list, emails and text messages, and on some phones users can copy pictures and private videos. Currently available programs must allow connection and to be 'paired' to another phone to copy content. There may be other programs that can break into the phones without any control, but if they exist they are not made publicly available by the developer. One instance of Bluesnarfing software that was demonstrated (but never made available for download) utilised weaknesses in the Bluetooth connection of some phones. This weakness has since been patched by the Bluetooth standard. ***** There seem to be no available reports of phones being Bluesnarfed without pairing, since the patching of the Bluetooth standard *****
Bluesnarfing is much more serious than Bluejacking, but both exploit others' Bluetooth connections without their knowledge. Any device with its Bluetooth connection turned on and set to "discoverable" (able to be found by other Bluetooth devices in range) may be susceptible to Bluejacking, and possibly to Bluesnarfing when and if Bluesnarfing of the current Bluetooth security becomes possible. By turning off this feature, the potential victim can be safer from the possibility of being Bluesnarfed; although a device that is set to "hidden" may be Bluesnarfable by guessing the device's MAC address via brute force. However, this is difficult because Bluetooth uses a 48-bit unique MAC Address, so there are over 280 possible addresses to guess (although the first 24 bits are common to a manufacturer
which, so only 24 bits need be guessed). Because Bluesnarfing is an invasion of privacy, it is illegal in many countries.
It is important not to confuse Bluesnarfing with Bluejacking. While Bluejacking is essentially harmless and does not result in the exposure of any data in the victim's handset, Bluesnarfing is the copying of information from the victim's Bluetooth device.
I quite often use bluetooth to "people watch" in a coffee shop. Some of the names can be quite funny.
Recently I saw a phone which was named "doyouwannashag".
However, I have never been able to connect with anyone. I just find it amusing to try and guess who is who as they must be within about 10m to show on bluetooth.

No !
I use my 'phone to listen to music with the b/tooth headset....it works with a radius of about 50 metres...as long as there is nothing between the headset and handset...and if the BROADCASTING unit on the b/tooth frequencies (2.4 - ghz) is high-up and using a gain antenna the handset will receive from it for several hundred metres. Most handsets have low-power b/tooth but some are quite high output....up to 100 mw in some cases.
Anyway, who out there has a BT broadband set-up ? (BTFON and BTOPENZONE)
These seem to have a WiFi hotspot facility, so you could be providing the bandwidth for others to access the net.
In fact, bt seems to have decided to provide pay-as-you-surf WiFi via their home customers routers.

Yeah we have that JTS, it handy although we have to share a wee bit of bandwidth with the pay per minute surfers they would do well to use it much as we live in the back of beyond. We get to use it free from anywhere else on our tariff , so fair exchange no robbery.
It's not that Mr G, it's just that the people with it installed do not know, and also that the power from the wifi is higher than allowed, which tends to saturate the receivers of wifi units close-by (both in frequency and distance). With both the units (bt) in my road I had to shift my router to channel 1 to clear my router from blocking problems (they're on channel 6)....
There also are going to be problems with the village bandwidth...depending on how many people chose to pay to use the units...
