Bluetooth question

[carlrowley1]

I have just installed a bluetooth adapter, and i have just added a few bluetooth devices, which where mobile phones.

I was doing this through control panel > bluetooth devices > add new device, and using a standard account
But what is the difference in doing it through Network and sharing center > set up a connection or network.


I'am a bit lost, when it says "to add blue tooth devices for other uses use control panel > bluetooth devices.

Why carn't the other uses just add the device themselves using control panel, like i have just done.
I added two devices through control panel, and one through "network and sharing center"
But i don't know what the difference is.

I want to ask you a question. For waht purposes you are connecting your phone to your computer? If you do that for browsing the web or for displaying your phone items, why you didn't use the program that come in a CD with your phone? Like Nokia PC Suite which comes with Nokia phones.

To send picture , music files, etc....to the computer via bluetooth.
Not just my phone i have quite a few member's of the family, who have added there phone's as devices also

Its just alot quicker if you are sending the odd couple of files, and even better if you want picture's that are on you freinds phones on your computer instantly
