Could someone please explain Bluetooth technology to me???

The nokia 6800 doe not have bluetooth. If it did, you would have been able to use bluetooth products with it.

Hi Here is a general overview of Bluetooth Technology. It is a chip and a standard which was developed at the start of this century. Early founders of this technology were Erikson, Intel, Nokia, Toshiba and IBM. Bluetooth chips can be placed inside a host of devices like computers, printers, faxes, micro ovens, cameras, monitors, mice, keyboard, PDA, cell phones etc. Bluetooth enables these devices to communicate with each other without the use of cables. Thus, with Bluetooth chips inside devices, there is no need for cables and wasting time on configurations and connections. They are simple to use and anyone can use them. The greatest use of Bluetooth embedded devices is that they become cable free. To give a simple example, we can use a printer or a monitor in one room with the computer in another. They communicate over radio and there is no need to plug in / plug out the cables, configure and set up. If the devices are within a certain range, they will start commnicating. Bluetooth devices maintain security by constantly changing radio frequencies. This way, they help in preventing evesdropping. Each bluetooth device has also an individual identity in the form of a PIN. In order to connect the machines together, these PINs have to be used. Bluetooth devices transmit data at 1 Mbps at present as against 10-54 Mbps by proper network devices. Secondly, bluetooth devices work only over a small range of about 10 metres. Future of bluetooth technology will depend on how fast better technology develops. At present Wibree is the other major alternative which is being introduced. With more improvements in Bluetooth Technology, it will continue to be used for quite some time. (Note, I borrowed the above from my own Website, namely "www.futwire.com" and I am the original writer of this brief overview of Bluetooth. There is no Copyright violation. Thanks).

Hi there, Bluetooth is a wireless radio technology used for transferring data between devices. It is usually limited to short range transmissions (upto 100m). I have done a small thesis on bluetooth, I can send you the info if you want it. Let me know!
