Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled
on your phone. For Blackberry phones, that means selecting the "Set Up
Bluetooth" application from the main screen, and then selecting
"Enable Bluetooth" after clicking the menu button.
I'm assuming your laptop comes with
a built-in Bluetooth adapter (or you can get a bluetooth
adapter like this one, that plugs into one of your USB ports).
Next, set up your computer to allow
Bluetooth connections. If your computer comes with Bluetooth, then you'll see a
Bluetooth icon in your Control Panel (Start button -> Control Panel from
Vista):
Double-click the Bluetooth icon and
you'll see a Bluetooth Devices dialog. Click the Options tab and make sure the
options to "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" and
"Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer" are both
checked.
Next, click the Devices tab and then
click the "Add" button. This will open the Add Bluetooth Device
Wizard, and after verifying that your device is set up and ready to be found
(ie. Bluetooth has been enabled on your wireless phone) it will try to find
your phone.
Select the Bluetooth device and
click Next to set up a passkey, which is a number that associates your computer
with a Bluetooth enabled device (like a cell phone or tablet).
You can choose your own passkey or
let Windows choose one for you. Click Next and then enter the passkey in your
phone.
After entering the passkey in your
phone, Windows will finish the pairing process and your phone will be connected
via Bluetooth.
To send a file from your computer to
your phone, just right click the file, choose the "Send by Bluetooth
to" option, and then select your phone as the recipient.
