    Hi

    I have recently purchased a brand new nokia 6820. I choose this phone
    for may reasons one of them being the bluetooth option. However on
    trying to search and pair with other mobile phones I ran into
    problems.
    Sitting next to someone with a Sony T610 who had their bluetooth
    switched on I tried to search for available devices to connect with
    only to get a message "no devices found". When the sony tries to
    discover me it can with no problems and if I give it access can search
    my phone for images and ringtones etc. When connected to the sony this
    way I have no options to look into his phone only to disconnect.
    On speaking to my network provider (Vodafone) about this issue they
    were more than a little bit hazy and gave me the possibility that the
    nokia 6820 can only connect with audio devices and not other mobiles.
    On asking them to find out for certain and let me know, they have
    conveniently forgotten to call me back.

    Can soneone please let me know if this is the case. Can the nokia 6820
    only connect to suitable auido devices, or if it can connect with
    other mobiles what am I doing wrong?

    On my 6820, there is a Bluetooth On/Off option, but in addition to that,
    there is a "My Phone's Visibility" On/Off option. Maybe the Sony
    mentioned in your post has his Bluetooth On and his Visibility Off, so
    he could find you, but you could not find him. Did the Sony user you
    were next to seem to know his phone and its options well?

    My phones bluetooth is definately switched on as well as the
    visibility. Not sure whether or not my friends sony T610 has the
    visibility option or not. I shall have a look in more detail at his
    phone later on. Have you experienced the same issues with your
    bluetooth?

    If your friend's visibility is OFF (but his Bluetooth is ON) then he
    can see you but you can not see him. That kind of sounds like what you
    might be experiencing. That is what I experience when I am with someone
    whose visibility is OFF.

    Your visibility is ON so he can see you, but his is OFF so you can not
    find him.

    I have no trouble finding my 6310i's when sending business cards so
    long as they are not 'hidden' but you don't need to pair for that. I
    can pair OK with PC or PDA, but don't know about other BT phones. I
    would guess they would have to allow OBEX file transfer in which case
    the T610 does, but it needs to be visible to pair, once paired it
    doesn't matter.

    Re: Nokia 6820 - Bluetooth Connectivity

    I spoke to Nokia about this and they were pretty useless. They
    basically said that it sounds like there is a problem with the handset
    and that they would replace it.
    Before sending my nokia back for an exact replica I thought I'd go
    into a mobile shop and test out another Nokia 6820. As feared the
    shop's model could not 'find' other mobiles either, but both Nokias
    had no problems discovering bluetooth headsets.
    So for anyone who would like the luxuary of searching and sending info
    to unsuspecting bluetooth users, please look away from the 6820.
