Well no. When you say vulnerable, you emphasis that it has something to do with Bluetooth security.
Its not. SE phones are easy to send contacts to because SE choose to allow it to be that way. Nokia, and other companies simply are less accessible.
SE even tell customers that they can avoid being bluejacked by hiding their phones Bluetooth, to avoid what SE call "spam".

I'm a bit late with this story, but am posting now anyway... I went to London over christmas 04 with my friends and my sister... The plane got delayed for three hours at Arlanda (Stockholm's biggest airport), so I spent some time testing bluetooth on my k700i. I sent out a contact named ""merry xmas"... and you know what? Some people sent msg's back!! I got a pic of a snowman, a pic of a santa, a msg with "SonyEricsson rox!!" and some with "God Jul" (I'm Swedish after all.)
One thing that was weird was that I also got "nokia sux. get a SE!!"... I mean.. ehm? I used my k700i for gods sake.. no godforsaken Nokia!!
Bluetooth is pretty cool!! Will continue!  |

Bluejacking and headsets... I recently purchased a SE hbm-30 bluetooth headset (it rocks! Except it doesn't cope with Push To Talk  actually, i'll say it SUCKS for ptt!) anyway, when you're using a headset, there's no available 'slots' for bluejacking, and i don't think anybody else can see your phone.. That bites.. - wirelessly posted via a Blokia 3230 r0xx0r phone |

When you're using Bluetooth on any v1.1 device be it the headset, ftp, push or HID, Bluetooth tends to be kept busy and other devices have a hard time finding your phone.
Most often than not, other phones wont be able to find yours, and if they do, they wont be able to retrieve the Bluetooth name of your phone.
Bluetooth v2.0 in the K750i goes some way to fixing that. I can now use my headset and transfer files from my phone to my pc at the same. Also, at the same time, on another phone i can search, find and discover the name of my K750i.
So, ive tested my K750i whilst connected to 3 other devices (the apparent limit is 16) at the same time and it still works.

You guys in this forum are good at making up stories. I though you needed some post of common pass key to send info via bluetooth. At least That's the case with my t610. Will try my s700 when I get it. If pass can be disabled then let me know how at docdibble@hotmail.com, thanks.

I can blue jack my k700 from my moto v525 no worries, but it still asks if you want to accept the contact. If you say no, the contact is rejected. If I say yes it is saved in my contacts. The phones are NOT paired, so you can definitely send contacts to a K700 without pairing, but not if the recipient rejects it.
Also, some have reported they can send pictures via bluejacking as a contact picture, but even if I accept the contact, I don't get the picture.
This may just be on my firmware or branding...

Making them up ? as in fictional ? some i'd bet are, some arent.
You're making the most basic mistake everyone makes when they first try bluejacking - you're doing it the wrong way. If your phone asks for a pass key, you're actually trying to pair phones. Dont do that.
Just go to your phonebook, make a contact, save it, then send it via Bluetooth. Most SE phones will accept the contact on its own. Most Nokia phones tend to require the owner to say yes, and other manufacturers have other security options to stop the contact getting through.
The only phones AFAIK that require pairing are Samsungs - but dont quote me on that.
Also worth mentioning is that almost everything else that can be sent via Bluetooth cannot be accepted automatically, usually only phonebook contacts work as a general rule.

On SE phones the picture will be received with the contact and saved in your pictures folder. On Nokia phones, it tends to be attached to the contact but appears as a small thumbnail.
Im not sure how it is accepted on a Motorola phone however - it might not even get sent to your V525.

@all. .
I own a nokia 6680 and have tried blue jacking it with my friends k700i. Now i earlier owned a se k700 prior to the nokia and enjoyed blue jacking a lot. Now i found out after experimenting a lot thats its next to impossible to blue jack the nokia 6680. I think the new symbian version has new security updates or something. My phone has book features but ITS ABILITY to bluejack other phones especially t610 and some other se is amazing. 8/10 times i send contacts but the party at the other end won't know it until they manually check contacts as the nokia sends it without warning and the se receives it without warning.
dont your thumbs hurt?? |

@ paulbang - its not impossible to bluejack the 6680, but just like any other S60 Nokia phone the contact or anything else sent to it has to be accepted manually by yourself. Also, AFAIK the 6680 is Bluetooth v1.2, which although is meant to be completely compatible with all other Bluetooth devices its not always is, so sometimes it might fail more.
SE phones do accept contacts automatically, and do alert the owner.
If your old K700i does not, maybe its because you've paired the phones therefore everything is automatically accepted and saved without alerting you ?
@ Bammers - the P910i is a bad phone ? 
Anyway, you probably got lucky with the picture, rather than the Nokia preferring the picture over a contact.

I thought so....ive owned a T610 in the past and never saw it accepting anything from an unpaired device, without giving the prompt
 t610 > k700i > p800 > p900 > p910 > k750i > I-mate Jam > Blokia 6681 > HTC Prophet > HTC Wizard & Nokia N73 > E71 > BB 9000 > HTC Desire > Samsung Galaxy S > Samsung Galaxy S II & the Motorola Xoom <br /> Still Shiny but not so n |
