The BlackBerry Curve smart phone features Bluetooth technology, giving you the ability to communicate wirelessly with other Bluetooth-enabled devices. You can connect to a headset or speaker, transfer information to other phones or receive a media file. Set up your Curve's Bluetooth through the "Manage Connections" option. From here, you can create a unique name for your phone, power Bluetooth on or off, find a nearby device to pair with it or make your Curve discoverable to other devices.
