Bluetooth Settings for Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC

What is Bluetooth: Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can beam (exchange information) over a distance of about 10 meters (30 feet) without requiring a physical connection. Unlike infrared, you don't need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth.

Bluetooth can be used to:
Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
Create a connection between your device and a Bluetooth phone to use the phone as a modem.
Connect your pocket pc phone to your Bluetooth wireless handset.
