Ahhhh, Geek out

Cassandra, via a Bluetooth hookup, can remotely autodial numbers from her address book on my T68i.

For some reason, I find this incredibly cool. I now have the urge to add all of your phone numbers to my address book. Bring 'em on.

Say... what sort of security does blue tooth enabled phones have? You can't bring your laptop to the office and suck everyone's address books off their mobile phones can you? Or send over seas SMS messages via some unsuspecting persons mobile?

Right now, you need to pair your Bluetooth appliances with each other before they can communicate - and to pair them, you also need to enter a passcode that is agreed on by both subjects, i.e. when I make a pair request, I enter a passcode, and you can't accept my request unless you enter the same passcode. So the basic security seems okay. Of course, any determined person can hack around any security, so I suppose it's a matter of time before the first patches come up...
