would i be able to transfer pictures and music from myphone to my laptop using blootuth, or the other way around?

Hi onno68,

As long as both the laptop and the phone have Bluetooth connectivity, then it is very easy to do. Can you just check that they do? Many, but not all laptops have Bluetooth - even if the manufacture has loaded Bluetooth software onto your laptop, it may be there for another model [manufacturers load the same software onto many computer models]

Yes, you can, like Ash said, if both devices are bluetooth-enabled. And assuming that you have the correct software for your phone. I have a Motorola RAZR that had no problems with just using the default bluetooth interface in windows to transfer media to/from, but for a SLVR that I had a while back, it did not work in Windows (I think the dirvers were the widcom drivers which work fairly well in most applications), and I had to go through the Motorola software, and even then it was sketchy and not as dependable as a cable transfer.

But yes, in theory, with two bluetooth-enabled devices, you should be able to transfer files. Whether it works as well as you hope is a different issue... If your laptop doesn't have bluetooth, you can buy relatively inexpensive USB 2.0 bluetooth dongles (antenna). I think my iomega was only $15 and it worked just fine.
