You've confused bluejacking with bluesnarfing.
Bluejacking is when you send a message to another Bluetooth phone. Thats what you can do.
Bluesnarfing is when you steal the contacts, and other files off another phone. You cannot do this.
You cannot bluesnarf with your P900, you need special software and a laptop computer. Also, only a small handfull of phones can be bluesnarfed, and even then its very difficult to do.

Just to clarify another point.
Bluejacking isnt illegal, however sending abusive messages is. Although it would be hard to prove in a court of law that you did send abusive messages via bluetooth (since its anonymous) its still not worth taking the risk, or sending messages with intent to distress people, especially children.
Bluesnarfing a phone, is just like hacking a computer. Its totally illegal, even if there is no legislation for it, yet.
