it will drain the battery more. its not bad just your talktime/standby time will be shorter. if it was bad they wouldnt have had put there in the first place right

Its not smart to leave your bluetooth on. You may get bluejacked, so be careful!

Nokias are more prone to bluejacking than a SE phone. |

how are nokias more prone to bluejacking? when i had my 7650 i never got bluejacket ever,
people who have nokias are usurly people who want a phone thats is simple and dont know how to use the bluetooth functions and so leave them on, when the T68i will just turn it off auto if u leave it on and its not conected.
there equaly jackable.

No they are not equally jackable... T68i can only be discoverable for 3 mins at the max. So you can be vulnerable if you choose recieve item or choose discoverable. Nok 7650, discoverable is on non-stop, so your always exposed to the bluejacking world.
Besides, bluejackers are all SE guys, it's rare that they would bluejack a t68i user.. |

@ jamatjam
Yes, but with Nokia you can have it always discoverable, which means that people can always see you. If you have that turned on.
And if you look at the bluejacking thread you will see that quite a lot of Nokia owners have it set to on. I don't know if that is factory default. And that is why the Nokia is more prone to bluejacking.
On the T68 you can not have it on always. But I think you can have it always discoverable on the P800.
