    Wouldn't this whole advertising via bluetooth thing be a liability and/or security issue for mobile phones? -huh

    I can totally imagine everyone got SO used to receiving ads on their mobile that they don't actually read the warning/authorization... Just reflex to accept whatever thing being sent...

    "Would you like to switch on your bluetooth and receive the last words of your mobile in the next minute? Accept/Decline"

    LOL

    Oh yeah... That's right... that acronym totally escaped me :p

    If you don't use Bluetooth what do you use to do transfers?

    But between mobiles you can't use UTB cable right? -huh I don't know, I prefer beaming photos and songs or whatnot via bluetooth...

    ^yeah you need a computer lol, but i don't really send songs over bluetooth cause the file size are too much and i put videos that are like 50+ mb on my phone, so rather use the computer+usb lol. But yea use bluetooth for pics sometimes lol...

    Lol First thing I thought of when I read this was Blue tooth headphones. You're listening to your favourite song and then suddenly BOOM! A voice asks you if you want buy their product.
