Bluetooth uses RF for wireless data transfer. “Talking” (and listening) is just one form of data transfer–your voice is digitized and sent as data to the paired device (cell phone, computer, etc.)
So, if your cell phone has Bluetooth, you can use it to send files to other phones that also have Bluetooth, if they’re close enough, and the phone supports that feature. Computers can also connect to various things through Bluetooth. For instance, you can connect to a printer wirelessly through Bluetooth, and print your documents that way. There are wireless keyboards and mice that use Bluetooth.
Basically, it depends on what hardware and software designers can think of to use for Bluetooth, and can be implemented in the 30 feet range available to Bluetooth. Gaming consoles like the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 have wireless controllers that connect using Bluetooth.
