Bluetooth uses the 2.4GHz spectrum, but at a very low power, however it's not compatible with Wi-Fi, but the 2 co-exist OK. Early devices would run Bluetooth or Wi-Fi but not both at the same time due to hardware restrictions - newer ones can now run both. USB Bluetooth adapters are under a tenner now. GordonThanks for all the help from you all. I see now that I need to get a Bluetooth adapter for the desk top computer. The phone will have one already it seems. Amazon here we come. Then I must do some research into what I can do with it. My previous phones did not include it so I have never bothered till now.
In theory there is a lot of "stuff" you can do with it - you could have your PC use the phone as a modem over the bt connection, or send txt messages, or exchange files with the phone, or make calls from the PC via the phone... Or you can just plug a USB cable into the phone from the PC to download images off it when you've used its camera, and forget all about using bluetooth to your desktop...
