Clint Jhonson asked:


Ever since the mobile phone made its way to the pockets of millions of users around the world it became the fastest and most efficient way to communicate. That is why, no matter the form of communication it took, mobile chat became popular among people from any corner of the world. One popular way, especially among teenagers, of communicating between mobile devices is by sending text messages, also known as SMS (Short Message Service) or mobile chat. As technology moved on, so did the chatting community; when mobile phones started implementing the new bluetooth feature, users found a new way to chat, by installing a simple java application on your phone you can begin to chat via Bluetooth or bluetooth chat. Bluetooth chat is a direct text chat between two or more users, where every one of them utilizes a bluetooth device and names it (optional). This way of communicating is generally used in a public and populated space like a pub, a street, a plaza and so on.

The first commercial SMS message was sent over the Vodafone GSM network in the United Kingdom on 3 December 1992, from Neil Papworth of Sema Group (using a personal computer) to Richard Jarvis of Vodafone (using an Orbitel 901 handset). The text of the message was "Merry Christmas". The first SMS typed on a GSM phone is claimed to have been sent by Riku Pihkonen, an engineer student at Nokia, in 1993. This was the beginning of the mobile chat; since then people have been sending millions of messages, creating a new way to communicate. The next step for mobile chat was obvious: bluetooth chat.

To initiate this chat, one goes to the connectivity menu on his/her device and turns on the bluetooth port. Next, one should try to discover new bluetooth devices in order to find and add some bluetooth co-chatters. Now that the list is made, one can create a note and send it via bluetooth to the other devices/users.

But what are the advantages of bluetooth chat? Is it better than the simple but effective SMS, that has been used to mobile chat for all these years? Well, the answer is both yes and no because, as we all know, sending an SMS isn’t free, while using bluetooth is completely free; all you have to do is get a chat program and activate you bluetooth and you can start chatting. The downside is that bluetooth has got a limited range and you can only chat with people that are within its perimeter; so if you want to send a message to a friend that is not in your close proximity you will have to pay. The main disadvantage of Bluetooth chatting is that complete strangers can communicate with others using Bluetooth devices. The term “Bluejacking” refers to people who send irrelevant, surprising, or shocking messages to strangers in their vicinity.

Mobile and Bluetooth chatting caught on so fast because in certain situations when you need to communicate with a person you cannot always call due to the noise in the area or simply because you are in a hurry; that is why mobile chat makes for a simple and effective way to send a message. It just shows the way in which communication technology evolves, from the simple mobile phone of yesterday to the complicated and multifunctional phones of today. The next big step for mobile chatting will probably be video chatting using the new 3G network systems that will allow people to also see each other while they talk; who knows what may come in the future? Maybe the bluetooth chat will disappear because of too many bad jokes, or maybe one day we will just have to think of the person we want to talk to and we will be able to do that in futuristic virtual reality.

If you are one of the many people who wonder exactly what Bluetooth technology is, you're about to get a brief rundown.

1) Bluetooth provides the ability for items that often need to be hard wired to be completely wireless. It allows you to use your laptop, cell phones, and hand held computer without being limited by cords, wires, and connections. In other words, Bluetooth technology allows portable devices to be truly portable.

2) Bluetooth is a surprisingly affordable option when compared to similar technologies. Because Bluetooth is inexpensive for companies to utilize they are also willing to pass the savings along to consumers.

3) Perhaps the greatest thing about Bluetooth for the average consumer is the fact that it is easy to use. There are no complicated sequences of keys you have to learn in order to make use of your Bluetooth devices.

4) Another winning fact about Bluetooth devices is that they will work with other Bluetooth enabled devices. If you switch from a Motorola phone to a Samsung phone (provided they are both Bluetooth capable) you will not have to be a new set of accessories in order for them to work with your phone.

5) Low interference is another bonus for these devices. People often find that wireless devices receive constant interference by others operating on the same frequencies. This is not an issue with Bluetooth as it utilizes technologies that limit the risk of this occurrence.

6) Lower energy consumption is another benefit of Bluetooth over similar devices. This means you will drain your battery less often or use less electricity in the use of your Bluetooth devices.

7) Bluetooth allows compatible devices to share data and voice communication. This means that you can drive more safely while talking on your cell phone.

You have the option of creating a Personal Area Network (PAN) with your Bluetooth device. This network operates within a 30 foot range and can have as many as 7 devices connected.

9) Bluetooth is emerging technology. As such, they are constantly offering better features and services. They are also behaving very wisely in creating consumer loyalty by making their new technologies compatible with existing technologies. This means that you can continuously upgrade your devices.

10) We've seen many fads come and go in the cellular community. Bluetooth, however, seems to be in it for the long haul. They are committed to raising the bar for wireless technology and have in the process gained many loyal customers and fans.

If you rely on cellular technology isn't it time you checked out how Bluetooth could benefit you?

Did you know that the Bluetooth feature that came with your new cell phone has a lot more uses than just hooking up to a wireless headset? With a Bluetooth enabled cell phone, you can access the internet with a secure connection on your laptop - wherever you get a cell signal, use your phone as a digital camera, mp3 player, or just share your favorite files with friends and family. Now, its true that you can do these things before, but Bluetooth allows you to do it all wirelessly  without the need for messy cables and connectors.

However, not all Bluetooth phones are created equal. In order to do any of the cool stuff mentioned here, youre mobile phone has to support OBEX, which stands for Object Exchange. You see, the Bluetooth specifications allow for many different functions, such as connecting to headsets, sharing data, etc. One function  the one were discussing here, is OBEX, which allows your phone to exchange data wirelessly with other devices. Now, a certain cellular carrier (whom we will simply refer to as V), along with a few other manufacturers, have chosen to cripple the functionality of their phones by deliberately disabling OBEX. They do this for a number of reasons, but the end result is, if your phone doesnt support OBEX, you cant do any of these cool things. So, the next time you shop for a new cell phone, you may want to first check to make sure your Bluetooth is not crippled in any way before making a purchase. (By the way, even if the manufacturer has disabled OBEX, it may still be possible for users to enable it  do a web search to try and find a software fix for your phone. Of course, be aware that you may void your warranty if you screw up, so be careful!)

The top 5 coolest things you didn't know you could do with your Bluetooth cell phone.

1) Use your phone as a wireless modem for your laptop - surf the internet by connecting wirelessly through your cell phone. This is my top pick. Why spend extra for a cellular modem and separate data plan when Bluetooth lets you use your cell phone to connect wirelessly to the web? Many cellular companies offer some sort of data usage plan - for just a few bucks extra per month, you get unlimited data transfers. So, by installing the right scripts in your laptop, you can configure it to connect to your cell phone with Bluetooth for instant, wireless internet access. The real beauty of this setup is that, since most people already carry their cell phones with them, they can get a secure internet connection wherever they get a signal, and not worry about carrying adapters or having a special modem card. Also, I feel much safer using my own connection anyway, rather than rely on open public hotspots  especially when I want to access my bank accounts or other private sites. Every cell phone is different, so if you want to find out how to connect with yours, just google it. Try using the terms "how to use my (phone model) as a Bluetooth modem".

2) Take pictures on your camera phone and download it to your computer - without having to search for a cable or adapter. With today's camera phones packing as much as 3 or more megapixels, you may find it to be a very credible alternative to a standalone digital camera. So, the next time you're on vacation, or out with friends, and you just happened to forget to pack your camera, chances are you probably have your cell phone. Just snap away, and when you're done, use Bluetooth to download those pictures onto your laptop wirelessly.

3) Synchronize your contacts list with your computer - tired of manually entering all your names and numbers into your new cell phone? Just use Bluetooth to automatically synchronize your phone's contacts list with the one stored in your computer. No more having to use your phone's keypad to enter all that tedious information. What's more, your phone probably comes with software to automatically keep your contacts list up to date whenever phone is placed near your computer

4) Use your phone to play music, with stereo Bluetooth headphones - don't have, or don't want an IPod? Tired of carrying yet another gadget when you just want to listen to some music? Why not use your phone instead? Many come with slots for removable flash cards and music playback capabilities. Just pop a 4 or 6 GB memory card into your phone, and start downloading all those mp3s stored in your computer wirelessly, right to your phone. And, some of the newest phones also support stereo Bluetooth playback, allowing you to listen to your tunes with wireless stereo headphones.

5) Share your favorite pictures, songs, games, and ringtones stored in your phone with your friends by sending them wirelessly to their phone. Have a great ringtone, or some pictures you just took on your cameraphone that you want to share with a friend? Send it to them via Bluetooth, and never have to think about having the right cables to connect. Just make sure your friend's Bluetooth is turned On and Discoverable, and start sending.

So, there you have it. Some of the most useful and fun things you can do with your Bluetooth cell phone. And remember - you can't do any of these things unless your cell phone supports the Bluetooth OBEX, or file transfer, protocol. So, the next time you're shopping for a new mobile phone, just be sure to check first before spending your hard earned cash. With all the benefits Bluetooth provides, it's time for smart users to demand that manufacturers stop crippling our phones. Have fun!

Bluetooth Headsets have redefined the art of talking over the telephone. No wires, no hands, nothing at all! Just put the device on your ear and you are communicating at ease with the rest of the world. You have the flexibility to do anything while talking. Not only does this add to convenience, but you get to gain from a health perspective as well. This article tells you all about these advantages with Bluetooth Headsets.

Bluetooth Headsets-Reduce Health Risks

Research has proved that holding phones close to your ear (hence head) increases health risks. There is a possibility of developing brain tumors. Electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phones affect the body's cells, brain and immune system. A wide range of diseases, from cancer to Alzheimer's, may develop due to such harmful exposures. Various experiments in Finland, Sweden and other places have confirmed these concerns.

Experiments conducted on mice have shown that harmful radiations from cell phones affect body cells and it is believed that the findings would also hold true for human beings as well. A group of scientists in Finland conducted a study and published a report in 2002 where they highlighted the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation emanating from phones on human brain tissue.

A similar study conducted in Sweden showed that the people using mobiles phones had a 30% higher probability of developing brain tumors compared to persons who preferred some other mode of communication. Considering these health risks, it is always advisable to keep the phone set away from your ear. Bluetooth Headsets can give you this unique advantage.

You may also sometimes get entangled in the wires of your telephone or run the risk of having an accident while driving and holding your mobile phone. This is very risky. A Bluetooth Headset is a hands-free, wire-free device that helps you to conveniently avoid all these risks.

Bluetooth Headsets-The Compatibility Factor

Setting new standards in wireless connectivity, Bluetooth Headsets have very high compatibility with a wide range of telecom appliances. You can connect different devices across diverse platforms by this. Two appliances enabled with this technology can access one another even when separated by about 30 feet. However, this varies with instruments and you must check the product specifications before buying the devices.

Differences with Wi-Fi

Both provide facilities of wireless networking using radio waves and are new-generation communication tools. But, there are some basic differences. Bluetooth is a short-range (30 feet), low power connectivity system with moderately fast transmission speeds of 800 kilobits per second. Developed in 1994, Bluetooth provides wireless, point-to-point connectivity for mobile phones, PDAs, Notebooks, Printers etc. If any two devices are Bluetooth enabled, a wireless connection can be set up between them for transfer of data. Say, if a PC and a Printer are Bluetooth enabled, you can transfer data from the computer to the printer without connecting through a cable.

Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity. Appearing in the market in late 1998, Wi-Fi provides access to Ethernet networks such as LAN, WAN or the Internet at super-fast speeds of up to 11 megabits per second. You can make connections with Wi-Fi networks even up to 300 feet. If your Notebook is Wi-Fi enabled, you can surf the Internet at broadband speed without cable connections.

Bluetooth Headsets—Well Known Brands

All well-known telecom manufacturers are marketing products enabled with this technology and Bluetooth Headsets are regular features with most top-end products.

The popular versions include:

Samsung E770 Phone Motorola L7 Phone Motorola PEBL U6 Mobile Phone Sony Ericsson W900i Mobile Phone Nokia 6270 Mobile Phone I-mate SP5 Smartphone Nokia 6681 Tri-band Phone Samsung E530 Mobile Phone

Summary:

If you are thinking about the convenience of wire-free and hands-free communication and reduced health risks from exposures to harmful electromagnetic radiations from cell phones, Bluetooth Headsets are your best buy.
