I've had phones that have bluetooth since 2006. In all that time I can easily count the number of times I've used that feature on my fingers.

With my D750i (T-mobile's version of the K750i) and the K800i, I was an avid fan of bluetooth. I bought a SE bluetooth headset that streamed music from the phone.

This was the headset:


I remember it costing around £35 (huge amount given that I was a student at the time) and had to be imported from Japan.

All phones such have a full sized USB socket on them.

I've used blue tooth once to send a photo to a laptop, I may have given up when it didn't work and got the proprietary Sony cable out instead.

I use it pretty much all the time on my PCs. I'm pretty much entirely wireless - mice and keyboards (and network/printers over wifi). The iMac I have at home there are only two wires into - power and USB to a hub. if I could do inductive power & USB through the iPad's base I would.

I also use it with my iPad as I have a gadget (a Griffin Beacon) that operates as a universal remote an d connects to the iPad via Bluetooth and you have 'virtual controls' on there (yes, basically you end up with a REALLY BIG touchscreen remote control). Which also allowed me to control my AV kit from another room if I have to .

Sometimes use it on my phone to hands-free in the car, but that's if I'm going on an unusually long journey and/or am expecting a call. Most people who have my number know not to ring me at the time I'm usually commuting.

So overall, I seem to use it an awful lot.

In the car, the onboard radio/climate control unit has a BT connection for hands-free phoning.

Walking the dog / in the gym, I have a BT stereo A2DP headset, which is a lot better than cabled earphones getting tangled up in the dog lead, or getting caught on equipment.

Mobile Phone hands free kit. Thats all.

my current fone, a nokia e63, does bluetooth well. but it is the first one ever. certainly as far as the mac is concerned.

I've used it twice. Ever.

Which is still two more times than I've used IrDA

Once or twice I have attempted to use Bluetooth for ad-hoc connections between phones for transferring pictures, but it invariably never worked and I've simply given up on it. Don't drive so no need for anything like a hands free kit.

you've never played an Xbox 360 or ps3 with wireless controllers?

They both use bluetooth.

Nope. Had a PS2 which used a cabled controller; haven't owned or even used a console since then I don't think. All my gaming happens on a PC or on a table (invariably with a board and these weird people called 'friends' )

I'm not knocking it I was just surprised that you had never used a current gen console.

I'm an avid fan of playing Monopoly late into the night

My Magic Mouse if the only Bluetooth thingy I use.

Use it to transfer photos from phone to my Mac but that's about it.

I use to use it a lot before I got an iPhone, but Apple in their infinite wisdom decided I couldnt be trusted with this evil technology so I havent used it much for the last 5 years.
