Wow!
I had to pair my device with my GF's phone, then I had to set her phone to "Receive bluetooth file" mode, then send the file from my bluetooth.
Not bein an ******* but its much simpler on a Nokia or other phone! sheeeeeesh
Id rather send the file as an attachment in an email  |

Actually the Bluetooth is very good on 9700, just few extra steps needed to send/receive files for security reason. But it works with all my gadgets.

Yeah, I tried to send a video to a friend (he has an iphone) via bluetooth, but I forget if he couldn't accept or if the file was too large.
I'd rather go through the extra steps than have someone hack my phone via bluetooth. I still wish there was an option to browse files via bt though, as long as there are security steps. I remember seeing that on a Nokia six or so years ago.

I can use my keyboard and headset at the same time. It does not miss a beat.

Have you ever tried to send MP3 Ring tones to an iPhone by bluetooth.. Wait, you can't.
Regardless, BlackBerry's have the best bluetooth radio I've used. Just because you have to tell it to receive a file does not mean the bluetooth is bad, just more secure.
As for the quality of the Bluetooth, I'm sitting here streaming music from my blackberry's media card by bluetooth to my windows 7 PC, and even able to control the playback (Stop, skip, repeat...) all from my PC while my BB is sitting in my pocket.
And, if the future Mrs. Calls, the music stops, and my laptop suddenly becomes a speakerphone using the speakers and the mic from the builtin webcam.... NEVER had another phone do that by bluetooth... at least not without a headache to set up. All I had to do was pair my BB to my Laptop and BINGO!
So, how does SECURITY to receive files, and possibly prevent someone from STEALING YOUR IDENTITY (Check this tool out if you think the security is "Excessive" Bluetooth hacking continues ~ ACTIVE HACKERS) make the Bluetooth Suck??

I love my motorola H700, it takes calls, doesn't play music through it. My plantronics P590 is my stereo bluetooth headset. It plays music, controls the phone or device it's paired to, or the device controls it.
Never had any issues except for the obvious slight "pop click pop" that sometimes cuts between it.
That's just interference.

No problems with bluetooth on my 9700 here, works flawlessley. I would love to send files via bluetooth from my phone to my Ipod Touch but the iBlueNova that enables this feature doesn't work very well if it works at all. Why couldn't apple just make it standard on those devices.

I think that whole "THINK DIFFERENT" ideology is ironic considering the iPod and the iPhone have become such symbols of CONFORMITY!! "Think Different... Buy an iPod, iPad and iPhone just like everybody else!!" 
EDIT TO CORRECT BAD SPELLING... Said spelling has been punished for it's behavior, and is in timeout!

I haven't been able to get the Bluetooth on the BB to work with the Bluetooth on my Windows Vista 64 computer. Sometimes it works, 80% of the times it doesn't. It really is a pain sometimes just to send a pic across.

Id rather send the file as an attachment in an email | I agree that the bluetooth on the BB is a more cumbersome process to go through, as is EVERYTHING on BlackBerrys, but it still works just the same, in my experience. I've done file transfers with my Mac laptop and Samsung Vibrant.

Funny, I don't find the bluetooth cumbersome or bad in any way. Mines synced to my truck and took all of 30 seconds for initial setup. I actually don't find anything cumbersome on the bb.
