My Company laptop has bluetooth capability. I have not yet bought an adapter, but was wondering what I can do with it. I have a Blackberrry Pearl and was wondering if I can bluetooth picture files from the Pearl to my laptop. So far, the only way I have figured out to do that is to email them to myself as an attachment.

Thanks

You don't need an adapter if the laptop already has Bluetooth capabilities. The "adapter" would be internal.

So I just need to try to connect my Blackberry to my Laptop? I paired my Bluetooth ear device successfully.

The ability to connect a cell phone to a computer and the features available with that functionality are specific to the combination of device and carrier. Look for a manual specific to that combination, and you'll find information about making a Bluetooth connection with a computer if it's possible.

I haven't tried with bluetooth, but I use a data cable and d/l pictures to the computer, keep phone number list on computer incase something happens to the phone. I even use it as a modem sometimes, when we are travelling. Have done this for several years. It is SLOW, but better than going to a library, or internet cafe.

FWIW, when I used a Motorola RAZR with BT capability, even though the manual clearly said that you could sync the phone with the BT, Motorola Phone Tools was not able to connect. I used a cable, and it worked fine.

Thanks, guys. I can now get the phone to recognize the computer blootooth but still can't connect because the blackberry is asking for a numerical passkey and nothing on my compter gives me a passkey. I even called my helpless desk and they tied into my laptop and said it was Verizon's problem. Verizon says it's Lenova's problem. I know there's an answer out ther but don't have it yet.

Try entring 0000 (all zero's) when asked for the passkey - this is pass key for the various bluetooth ear phones I've had.
